Blog Prompt for January 28th

I think Twain crafts this morally ambiguous world for Huck to navigate because he wants to let us as the readers know that the world is not as safe as we might think regardless of us seeing it perfectly while living with our parents/guardians. Twain puts real-life scenarios for Huck to show part of what can happen when you are on your own and you encounter strangers. Luckily the two con men were what they were and not killers. All the immoral actions that Huck has been engaging in has really been playing on his mind in a bad way. It constantly troubles his conscience and causes him to rethink whatever he had done or was about to do. I say this because every time he engages in something immoral he remembers what the widow would have to say about it and her Christian way of life. He's always thinking of things that she might say or remember bible scriptures that has something to do about his current experience. He would always feel bad and think that he shouldn't be doing what he was doing but he was not in much of a position to say or do otherwise because of what he had brought on himself by picking up the two men. The moral values came from Huck living with the widow and Ms. Watson. Even though he didn't like Ms. Watson's way of thinking and preferred the widow's, he would always remember what they would preach to him for him to do what was morally right. Twain might be suggesting that people  from our grandparents' generation are usually ones to be actively involved in the church and its teachings. With that said they would normally try to enforce those beliefs upon us regardless of the life we choose to live. Twain is also trying to show that females in late adulthood are usually embracing their religious beliefs. With that said it is more likely for them to spread "the word" to whomever they can.
