Huck Finn4
Mark Twain’s novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a perfect example of how one’s heart and morals can change in difficult situations. Huck’s journey down the Mississippi River tested him to his limits of being able to handle situations in the way which he had been raised. Huck shows that how one is raised is something that will impact them tremendously in the rest of their life and that it is hard to change from what you’ve been molded into. Early in the novel Huck shows how much of a rebellious and joking boy he truly is. "I put out the light and I scrambled out of the window…,"(pg. 17) says Huck. Huck, at a young age, began getting himself into many difficult situations, such as escaping from the cave in Tom Sawyer.

As the river brings Huck and Jim together in a strong friendship, Huck sees that Jim is actually an equal who has feelings. "It didn’t take me long to make up my mind that these liars warn’t no kings nor dukes at all, but just low-down humbugs and frauds. Huck Finn most definitely demonstrates the victory of a sound heart over a deformed conscience. This conditioning as a young child is what makes it difficult for him to deal with Jim as an equal later in life. Until the trip down the river Huck’s life was something that he never took very seriously. This turn around shows that Huck is a very civilized human being with a conscience that changes from what he was taught to what he truly believes in. "He slipped Jim’s hat off his head and hung it on a limb right over him…,"(pg. His change from a person who plays jokes on Negroes for the fun of it to a person who steals them from slavery is a transition for the better.
