Am. Lit per. 2
Mrs. LaMagdeleine
Huck has finally made a decision for himself. Widow Douglas, Miss Watson, and Pap have been constantly exerting influences on him, even after he escapes from St. Petersburg. But here, when Huck considers the advice that they, Jim, and his experience have given him, he decides to cast off their influences and break his friend out of slavery. Huck has stopped looking towards others and has started to look within himself for the right decision. Although one might argue that this change occurred earlier, when Huck decides to make the easy decisions rather than look to the advice of the Widow or Miss Watson. However, this step towards the right choices rather than the easy choices is even harder, and forces Huck to wade back into his conflicting experiences of White Southern society and the humanity he has seen from Jim before he comes out the other side.
