By this time in the novel, I think Huck truly understands the gift of giving and understanding. He no longer just thinks about what is best for him; but what is best for other people. An example would be when in Chapter 21, he tries to hide the money from the con men to help out the Wilks family. He tried his best to keep the con men from finding the money, and tries to help the Wilks contain their fortune.
I find it unbelievable how Duke and Dauphin always keep conning people for their money. And no matter how much they lie, they just cannot stop. As if money was more valuable to them than peoples’ feelings; even if it involves someone’s death. And even how much they get caught for lying and fraud; they always insist that they are telling the truth. I find it the most ridiculous thing I have ever head in a book; which I admire Twain’s writing style for.
A character I enjoyed having in the novel was Mary Jane Wilks because it seemed that she cared for her dad more than any other of her sisters. When Huck was in the funeral house to hide the money, Mary Jane walks in crying. Nearly every daughter or son would care if their parent dies, but it seems to me that she is the only one feeling sad about the loss. And it makes sense that she feels this way, mainly because she is the eldest of the 3 sisters, so she has to take care of her siblings without any more guidance from her father. Such as when my grandparents died, my uncle was the eldest out of 5; so it makes sense why he and Mary Jane would feel more disappointed.
