Not really a bad kid

Huck isn't a bad kid. He doesn't want people to get hurt, even if they deserve it like the robbers did. He wants to save them. Although we see Huck as a little redneck kid looking for adventures and getting in trouble, he's just a good kid with a cloak of bad on him. He was taught certain behaviors, such as smoking and stealing, but we see that Huck doesn't really want to steal. If he can help it they try to look for their own food or give the people money that they steal from. And though We know slavery is wrong, Huck was taught otherwise. He was taught to see slaves as property, not people. Which is why he had such a hard time figuring out if he would have to turn Jim in or not. Until he was faced with a situation where he could tell about Jim, he didn't know what he would do. But we see that he does the right thing in the end, although he still feels bad that he is taking someone's "property" and that Jim was planning on taking more of people's property: his family. I hope we see Huck change his perspective in the book, that he can see Jim as a person and his wife and kids as his family. And I hope that Jim can get his family back.
