BEGINNING:QUESTIONING SOCIETY
“Well, I b’lieve you, Huck. I–I run off.”

call me a low-down Abolitionist and despise me for
keeping mum—but that don’t make no difference.” (43).

BEGINNING:FORGING NEW MORALS
“Mornings before daylight I slipped into
corn-fields and borrowed a watermelon, or a
mushmellon, or a punkin, or some new corn, or
things of that kind…Jim said he reckoned the widow
was partly right and pap was partly right; so the best
way would be for us to pick out two or three things
from the list and say we wouldn’t borrow them any
more” (66).

knows. En mind you, de real pint is down furder—its
down deeper…You take a man dat’s got on’y one or

chillen?”(78).
