huck 4

after reading the first 2 chapters, i think that this book will not only give me insight on the living conditions of a teenager during these times. i can already make assumptions about tom sawyer and his effect on huck. (huck really wants to be a robber, and tom is just having fun) i can also see how hucks lack of family will effect the outcome of the story seeing as ever since the second chapter he has shown a clear dislike for his father, while not liking his guardians at the moment. huck has shown a need for freedom, and it seems that from the reading so far, everyone wants to take that away from him. i think that in the end, this nececity will influence his descisions for the worse. this story reminds me of the simple freedoms of childhood, and makes me think about my life and my descisions so far.
