What is Right and Wrong Anymore?

Huck Finn is having a real inner dilemma arguing with himself on wether he should turn Jim in or not. He's basically asking himself, "what's the right thing to do?" Yes, it was the law and viewpoint back then that slaves were "property," however, Huck knows within his own self, that that is so not true. Huck is feeling bad for Mrs. Watson losing her slave and the thought of the farmer losing his slaves, but is totally looking past the fact that Jim is planning a way to BUY HIS FAMILY BACK! How ridiculous is that! Buy your family....it's not Ebay you know!
