The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Adventures of Tom and Huck, #2)

“You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft.”

Living on a raft feels more like home than a real house. Huck finds more peace in the river mud than in a clean bed.

“He was thinking about his wife and his children, away up yonder, and he was low and homesick.”

Jim cares for Huck like a father should. It makes the way society treats him feel gut-wrenching and wrong.

“All right, then, I'll go to hell.”

Huck decides he would rather go to hell than betray his friend. He chooses his heart over every rule he was ever taught.

“He said that what he was after was a disguise.”

People in small towns are so easy to trick. The Duke and the King just use their own greed against them.
