people like Huck and Jim believe in superstition. Huck begins to think that christianity is useless because he thinks that the christian heaven is a place where boring and rigid people like Miss Watson and that Hell seems to be more exciting.

zealous guy. I think he has been liked by others since long ago because of his characteristics. He is always brisk‚ enthusiastic‚ energetic and he is smiling no matter when or where you see him.

I told him I warn’t afraid of HIM telling the people where I was. I talked along‚ but he only
