Use these questions and prompts to guide you in your research of Huck. Don't be satisfied with the clean, easy answer . . . push your thinking further to a genuine study of the character. From your observations of Huck's thinking and behavior, what comments do you want to make? Are you seeing a static character (one who doesn't change) or a dynamic character (one who changes)? Note any particularly hot quotations that capture your point.

• Consider Huck's attitude and relationships with adults (Widow Douglas, Pap, etc.).
• Consider Huck's technique for dealing with adults, even strangers. (Justified?)
• Consider Huck's attitude towards Blacks.
• What does Huck learn from the Grangerfords and Shepherdsons? How does it seem to affect his moral code?
• What does Huck learn from the King and the Duke? How does it seem to affect his moral code?
• Consider Huck's decision to tear up his letter to Miss Watson and his willingness to accept the consequences ("All right, then, I'll go to hell!" 206).
