I really liked the parts when Huck lived at the Grangers. I felt like the Grangers were the only people who did not take advantage of Huck. They even took Huck in, “So they said I could have a hom e there as long as I wanted it. (142)” However, they were just as silly or unreasonable as the other people Huck met on his journey. When Huck asked Buck about the feud Buck says “It started thirty years ago, or some’ers along there. (152); when Huck asked what the reason was Buck said “I reckon maybe—I don’t know. (152)” It is really shocking to me that so many Grangers and Shepherdsons would die without a clear reason.
This little section with the Grangers and Shepherdsons remind me of the story of Romeo and Juliet, except Sophia and Henry ended up happily ever after and the rest of their families perished. As a result of the ending I find Sophia and Henry really selfish, I think they should have been more considerate and mature enough to understand what they were about to do could have the potential to kill of their families. I feel really bad this happened to them because they were such good people.
As the story goes on it is really evident that Huck has almost the complete opposite traits from his dad. Huck is a do-gooder, considerate and has good morals. These traits are shown when gives all his money away so his dad would not put it into bad use, he also show these traits when he did not betray Jim. Huck’s dad is lazy and ignorant. I can’t believe that the new judge was so kindhearted that he would bother with someone like Huck’s dad but Huck’s dad just puts on an act and goes back to drinking. I hope he is out of Huck’s life for good.
