Huck Finn Essay Exam 1
One moral dilemma that Huck faced was weather or not should he turn in his friend Jim because he was a runaway slave or if he should not turn him in because then he would a have to worry about people finding him out and because Jim is Huck’s only friend at the time.
Huck’s decision is good and bad. Good because if Huck would have turned Jim in then Huck would have to worry about Jim telling everyone that Huck was not dead and that he was on his way to Cairo. Another reason it was a good idea is because if Huck was to turn Jim in then there was a possibility that then someone would fin out where Huck was at and that he was not dead. Bad because if they were to get caught then Huck and Jim both would be going to jail if not killed and because Huck felt bad that he helped Jim escape from Mrs. Watson, Huck felt bad because he said what did Mrs. Watson ever to him for him to help Jim escape. Then Huck started to have second thoughts about everything.
All in all Huck was right not to turn Jim in because now he doesn’t have to worry about anyone telling the town that he was indeed still alive and that he has just runaway in order to get away from his father and the Widow Douglas, mainly his father so that he would not continue to beat on him or try to get Huck’s money.
