Huck’s dad is unbelievable. It is so horrible that Huck’s dad wants him to drop school and want Huck to inherit the same ways of life as he did. This idea of parenting goes totally against my beliefs; I thought parent are suppose to want the best for their children and wish them to have a better life than they did. I don’t think Huck’s dad is responsible for all his horrible actions like getting drunk every day, abusing his son, discriminating against minority and everything. Because I believe that people are blank slates when they are born and it is how they are raised that determine what kind of person they will become later in life. So this makes me wonder what Huck’s dad’s childhood was like. But I think Huck’s dad should of being more mature and understand what choices where good and what were bad, I think he has the power to make good decisions but neglect to do so. And now that Huck has ran away, I wonder where he plans to go.
I find Tom Sawyer a funny character. I like how he became the leader of a “gang” and says he is going to rob and kill people when he did not know how to do it and backs out later. In addition, I find his bragging adorable. Especially when he says “Because it ain’t in the books so—that’s why. (19)” as a reason to defend his thinking. As the sorry marches on I think Tom Sawyer will not be involved much anymore since Huck’s dad is keeping Huck far from society and now Huck has ran away.
