Explain Huck's character

Summary: The character of Huck in "Huck Finn."
Explain Huck's character

Huck is an innocent child that doesn't know much of the world right now. His father's abusive treatment makes poor Huck fake his own death. When he does he goes to a deserted island where it turns out to not be deserted after all now that he bumped into Jim, the runaway slave. Huck and Jim are inseparable; they are like brothers. However, Jim is a slave and Huck is a white boy. You never saw a white folk talking to a black folk in a brotherly way. While there, Huck promises Jim to help him and not turn him in. The chances of a white man helping a black man were like one in a billion.

Huck's promise to help Jim tells us that he is a benevolent white boy. His innocence brings a true compassionate sense of care towards Jim. Huck knows that if he gets caught doing such an act like that he can get hanged. Knowing this he still helps Jim. This only tells us one thing; this boy is a gift from heaven, he is a virtuous brave young man that just does what it seems right to him. His character is beneficial to black people.

No other white folk will ever do such an act as Huck is doing.

Huck is a true loyal friend that is just trying to make a difference in a friend's life.

In doing so he is risking his life and no white person will ever do that. Everything in the world is new to Huck; he doesn't see prejudice as a practical act. Why? Huck is only a child; his innocence stops him from turning in a runaway slave. His care and love towards his friends also stop him from committing such a malicious performance as that.

The character of Huck is no ordinary one. It contains love and care towards everybody. Yes, including blacks. Even the thought that a white boy is helping a black man could make somebody faint back at that time. Among Huck's eyes blacks were just people. Unlike others who considered blacks as insignificant animals.

To conclude the defying of Huck's character I just want to bring out the facts that Huck is child of pure innocence that just lives the life he thinks is right. He is a boy of good. He helps Jim by not turning him in due to the pureness of love he has seeded in his heart.
