    significant female characters in this book‚ one that should be paid attention to is Miss Watson. She is very strict when it comes to trying to make Huck act civilized. ’"Miss Watson would say‚ ’Don’t put your feet up there‚ Huckleberry‚’ and ’Don’t scrunch up like that Huckleberry- set up straight..."’ This satirized the type of Christian women who were very meticulous with their teachings of manners and religion. Huck himself thinks that "sivilization" is unnecessary‚ and also finds her lessons exasperating
