Ch. 31-35

 Throughout chapters 31 to 35, we can see how Huck’s moral responsibilities are better than anyone else in the book. He starts to become more responsible for his actions especially in respect with Jim. Huck is the only one that understands that having slaves in not moral correct and wants to do something about it at least with Jim. This can be raft seen when Huck comes back to the raft but instead of funding Jim, he finds out that Jim was sold for forty dollars by the King. Huck calls the money “forty dirty dollars” (240). This shows how disgusted Huck is about the King selling Jim. This is very shocking for Huck, he finds himself in a situation a little complicated where he doesn’t know if he should turn Jim in or not. At this moment, Huck is trying to decide what to do between what is right by law and what is morally right. He writes a letter to Miss Watson telling her about Jim but this doesn’t make him feel any better. Huck begins to think about everything that Jim and he have passed through together. He remembers all of the times that Jim saved his life and how Jim would always watch after him. After all of this, Huck says, “I was the best friend old Jim ever had in the world, and the only one he’s got now” (242). Huck realizes that he is the only person that Jim has right now. Huck is now a very mature boy since he was able to think of what other people (in this case Jim) have done for him and act in a corresponding manner back to their good actions. We can see that Huck feels responsible for Jim’s welfare and does everything possible to set him free.
