He decided he would go in town and give Jim up, but when it came time to do it, he could not bring himself to give Jim up. Jim had become too important to him. Later in the novel, Huck again faced this dilemma about whether or not to give Jim up. This occurred after the king and duke had sold Jim to Mr. Phelps. Huck decided to write a letter to Miss Watson, Jim's owner before he escaped, telling her where her runaway slave was. He again felt awful about allowing and even helping Jim to escape from her, and he believed that "people that acts as [he'd] been acting about that n***** goes to everlasting fire" (365).

He then decided, once and for all, that he would not give Jim up, "and never thought no more about reforming" (368).

In this journal, both Nicole Amare and Alan Manning criticize the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn through Mormonism. To Amare and Manning, Twain’s fascination of Mormonism and the character’s literary meanings. Furthermore, they claim of Twain’s use of his use of politician names in the stories, which are seen as juxtaposed by Twain in the novel, impact the character Boggs and Governor Liburn Boggs of Independence, Missouri. However, these uses of political names can be portrayed as simply political satire by Twain. Overall, the criticism received by Amare and Manning display a desire to retire the book from its vulgar state. This is due to them interpreting Twain’s use of religious parody as real life templates of murder. To purely build an argument considering this journal may seem slightly extreme in some cases. Moreover, their claims cannot simply be used without any external information to back it up such as Twain’s irreligious history and basing it to interpret a symbolical framing of himself as Sherben, the one who supposedly ordered the murder of Boggs. However, using this source will provide an exceptional synopsis of interpretations given by the general public over the debate.

In “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” Huck has been steadily seeing Jim as more of an actual person rather than a slave and has just fully assured himself that he wants to save Jim and set him free. Before Jim is sold Huck doesn’t necessarily want to help Jim escape because he felt that he was helping to steal slaves from people he didn't know. When Huck is attempting to pray for all of the “bad” things he has done he can’t bring himself to say anything because “his heart warn’t right…”.

In the deep antebellum south lives a young boy who goes on an adventure up and down the MIssissippi to help a runaway slave named Jim get to freedom. In doing so, he goes against the profound social norms he was raised to believe in, even turning his back on them when faced with a difficult decision.

Throughout history, people have witnessed and experienced mistreatment and tough situations, whether it came from racism, discrimination, mistreatment, or punishment. However, instead of taking action as soon as possible, people allowed this to continue and spread. This was simply through miseducation.
