Morality+Essay+Jan.+10th

-Lindsay

Huck has many adults who influence his sense of morality. Who are they? What are the differing views of morality that Huck is presented with?

Huck, as he travels down the river with Jim, is presented with a number of experiences which also contribute to his developing sense of morality. What are these experiences and what does each experience teach Huck? How does each experience contribute to his ethics and morals?

On page 94, after Huck paddles out to some guys in another boat, they ask if a runaway slave is on Huck's raft. He lies and says it's his sick father. Huck thinks about his own feelings (Romanticism) and comes to a decision after asking the all-important question:

=//"What's the use you learning to do right, when it's troublesome to do right and ain't no trouble to do wrong, and the wages is just the same?"//=

In a formal essay, discuss Huck's evolving sense of morality. How has it changed, what has changed it, and what are the repurcussions of this change in Huck? Explain the quote. What is Huck's decision on how to approach future dilemmas, and how is it an example of Romanticism???

Your essay should include: 1. introduction and title 2. body paragraphs with transitions 3. thesis statement 4. quotes, details, and examples to support your opinions 5. conclusion 6. typed, times new roman, size 12, double spaced

Due: Friday, Jan. 14th.
