Huck Finn Uncovered in The Adventures of Huckaberry Finn...

How can a man make a decision if he does not approve of himself? A man can not make a decision about a major event if he does not first take of the major the decision of approving of himself. I believe that Huck had such a delay on making the right decision because he did not yet feel comfortable with himself. Huck changed from the being a boy to becoming a man. When Jim and Huck were on there way to Cairo this when Huck faced one of his first big roadblocks between what is right and what is wrong.

I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: ‘All right then, I’ll go to hell’—and tore it up. It was awful thoughts and awful words, but they was said. And I let them stay said; and never thought no
