Huck grapples with his sense of right and wrong from "summary" of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Huck, he ain't never been one for fancy thinkin'. He's a simple boy, raised on the river, with a heart as big as the Mississippi itself. But lately, he's been wrestling with somethin' deep down inside him. It's like a naggin' voice in his head, tellin' him what's right and what's wrong. See, Huck's been brought up to believe that slavery is just the way things are. His pap, he's a mean ol' drunkard who beats Huck black and blue, but he still thinks he's better than a black man. Huck, he don't know no better. But then he meets Jim, Miss Watson's runaway slave, and everythin' changes. Jim, he's a good man. He's kind and loyal, and he cares for Huck like he's his own kin. And that's when Huck starts to question everythin' he's ever been taught. He knows that helpin' a runaway slave is against the law, but he also knows it's the right thing to do. It's a dilemma that tears at his soul, like a fish caught in a net. As Huck and Jim journey down the river, they face all sorts of trials and tribulations. They meet conmen and thieves, and they come face to face with the ugly truth of human nature. But through it all, Huck's moral compass keeps pointin' him in the right direction. He sees the injustices of the world, and he wants to make things right. But it ain't easy, no sir. Huck's been taught to obey the rules, to do as he's told. But now he's startin' to see that sometimes, the rules ain't worth followin'. Sometimes, you gotta listen to your heart, even if it leads you down a dangerous path. So Huck, he grapples with his sense of right and wrong, like a sailor on a storm-tossed sea. He's tryin' to navigate the murky waters of morality, tryin' to find his own way in a world that's always tryin' to pull him under. And as he struggles, we can't help but root for him, cheerin' him on as he fights to do what's right, no matter the cost.
