Huck Finn's Character Traits

Huck falsified his own murder and left everyone that cared for him in mourning. Huck gathered his things and set of on a journey, a journey alone in a big river with only a raft to help him. On the river bank Huck said “ Alright, I can stop where I want to Jackson's Island is good enough for me.”(36) which is most definitely true he was on his own and could go anywhere he desired.
