Huckleberry Finn-Chapters 24-26

Huck is changing as a person throughout this whole book. I can tell this because when the book first started he was young and naive and didn't quite understand right from wrong yet. In these chapters you can tell dramatically that he understands what is right and wrong because he is going to take the money from the frauds so he can give it back to Mary Jane and her sisters because he realizes it isn't right.

Huck has been able to learn through his experiences what is right and what is wrong. He has been able to learn more morals and I think he realizes how good the widow was to him because everything he is learning now she had tried to teach him. He realizes that what the king and the duke are doing is wrong and he feels bad for Mary Jane and the other girls so that shows that he is maturing and understanding what is happening around him because before he was young and innocent and didn't fully understand. Jim still thinks that they are really a king and a duke and Huck never even cares to tell him the truth because it would be too hard to explain, which shows he understands more than Jim does in the real world now and he is only a young boy while Jim is older.

Huck and Jim were really close when they first found each other on the island, but now that Huck is growing up and sometimes I wonder if he doesn't wonder if they really should be doing what they are doing. After Huck and Jim run into the king and the duke, Huck doesn't have much to do with Jim now because he is always with the king and the duke on land and because Jim is black he can't go with them everywhere. I don't even know what Jim did while they were on land being Mr.Wilk's brothers. But if the king and the duke weren't involved with them I believe Jim and Huck would be closer. Jim still thinks that they are really a king and a duke and Huck never even cares to tell him the truth because it would be too hard to explain, which shows he understands more than Jim does in the real world now.
