From Conformity to ManhoodIn The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck is the narrator. The character of Huck Finn was very different from the society he was born into. Mr. Twain uses Huck's open-mindedness as a window to let the humor, arguments, and morals of the book shine through. Huck always takes things literally. This not only adds to the humor of the book, but it also allows some of the deeper messages of the book to come through. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn traces the story of a young man, Huck Finn, from his conformity to Southern thinking to his own ideas about religion, wealth, and slavery. In the early scenes of the book, Huck struggles to understand Miss Watson's concepts of heaven and hell. He finds his vision of the sky on the harp boring and he wants to be somewhere exciting. When Miss Watson tells Huck that he will get whatever he prays for, he takes it literally and decides to pray for the fishing line, which he gets. But praying for fish hooks doesn't seem to work, when he asks her to pray for him to get fish hooks, she calls him an idiot. These are two gentle blows to Southern religion. Christianity has been practiced by a very pious people, like Miss Watson, who can still treat her human slaves as property. This is a recurring theme in the book. Twain points out some of the absurd incongruences between Christianity and the way of life of much of the South. Huck did not conform to society's general way of thinking. When he is with the Widow and Miss Watson, he begins to change, but Pap steals him and he returns to a much more practical lifestyle. Huck places very little value on the large amount of money he has in the bank, while he finds small amounts more important. Six thousand dollars was a fortune at the time the book was written, but Huck, unlike the rest of his society, was not impressed by it. This is again because of his literal mind. What could six thousand dollars be good for? He could use ten cents to buy food, or five cents to buy fishing line, but he didn't need huge amounts of money. Society values ​​wealth, property, and book learning.
