First Huck Finn blog post

Huckleberry Finn is a resilient individual, one with an intriguing concept of trust.  Huck has extremely little faith in the social or justice system to guide him through, in fact when his father is granted custody Huck is not surprised and simply moves forward.  Huck does trust adults.  We see this with Judge Thatcher and with the Widow, two people with whom Huck should bond for their efforts in  saving him from his father, alas Huck does not recognize their efforts and finds them stifling.  People his own age are a different matter entirely, for instince the character of Tom Sawyer.  Huck would follow Tom to the end of the Earth, and beyond we see as Tom ponders were he'll end up after his life. "Now she had got a start, and she went on and told me all about the good place. She said all a body would have to do there was to go around all day long with a harp and sing, forever and ever. So I didn't think much of it. But I never said so. I asked her if she reckoned Tom Sawyer would go there, and she said not by a considerable sight. I was glad about that, because I wanted him and me to be together." (Twain) Huck listens as the widow preaches to him about heaven and its simplistic beauty, all the while Huck ponders the likely hood of he himself being allowed inside of those 'precious pearly gates' the widow describes.  Comeing to the conclusion that such a fate is not likely he asks if Tom would go to such a place and the widow states that Tom has another destination in store for him and Huck is happy because that means that they will be together.  Huck does not think that he would rather not be with Tom but know that he is safe in heaven,  he does not think beyond them being together because that for Huck is all that is important.  Perhaps the reason for this coensides with Hucks inibility to see love from the widow comeing from the 'love' Hucks father has shown him. In the first ten chapters of Huckleberry Finn we see that Huck is a tough tooth and nails character and perhaps he will find that he doesnt always need to be looking for the next blow.
