| Two Important Passages |
- “It was the most astonishing speech I’ve ever heard-and I’m bound to say Tom fell, considerable, in my estimation.”
- This passage is important to the story because it demonstrates Huck’s vision of Tom. Huck sees Tom as the perfect role model and when Tom agrees to help steal Jim Huck is disappointed to learn that Tom is just like Huck.
|
- “So we poked along back home, and I warn’t feeling so brash as I was before, but kind of ornery, and humble, and to blame, somehow-though I hadn’t done nothing.”
-
- This passage demonstrates the slight changes in the way that Huck thinks. Huck is beginning to develop a conscience. Huck is becoming more mature.
