    360 Words  | 2 Pages

    I don't think Huck rejects Christianity. I think he rejects the preachers of his society who have twisted it to defend slavery.

I think Twain deliberately left religious and non-religious interpretations of Huck's decisions open. There's also that Tom was the only one that knew Jim had been freed - his family had no idea they were keeping a freeman locked up.

    In this selected passage Huck decides he is not going to send the letter he wrote to Miss Watson with the intention of turning Jim in. Huck initially writes the letter because he is thinking about God and his state of sin, as he believes he is committing a sin by stealing another person’s property. He never sends the letter because he realized how much he trusts Jim and doesn’t see him as his property, but rather as a best friend. Previously he has stayed with Jim because it was easy, but this scene marks the time when he is able to stay by Jim’s side even when he believes it will come at a great personal cost.
