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.

In Huckleberry Finn the role of society plays a huge part on everyone‚ but especially Huck and Jim. As Huck grew up in the deep south‚ slavery wasn’t just an event that was going on in the background of life‚ it was the way of life. “Humans can be awful cruel to one another” (pg. 1328) This quote perfectly describes the lifestyle of the deep south and is one of the moments when Huck realizes that things are not morally right in society.
