In the book “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, social responsibility is clearly and often seen. From the beginning of the book there are situations that reflect this theme. Starting in chapter one there are two situations that can be directly connected to social responsibility. First would be when Judge Thatcher took Tom’s and Huck’s money, put it at interest, and gave them one dollar a day. This shows that the Judge is interested on their welfare. By saving their money the Judge is preventing them from being robbed and because of this attacked, the Judge is also helping them save the money it since they could easily waste it. In the same chapter we also find out that Widow Douglas adopts Huck. By making him her son she will give him the protection and love that Huck didn’t get from his parents. She also wants to civilize him, she wants to give him education and make of him a better boy. By adopting Huck, Widow Douglas shows how much she cares about him and it is a great reflection of social responsibility. Another event that shows social responsibility is in chapter seventeen. In this chapter Huck is cornered by a pack of dogs after coming out of the river. A man saves Huck from the dogs and invites him to his house. He also offers him dry clothes and introduces him to his family. When I read this scene it immediately reminded me of “social responsibility”. This man had the choice not to save Huck especially since his family was in some kind of fight with another family, but he decided to save him.
