  1. In the incident of the King's and Duke's "Wilks brother" display we see that Huck has a great sense between good and bad, especially when it comes to the vulnerable. As the King and Duke were deceiving the girls further and further his feelings and moral took the better of him to take care of the siblings, but somewhat backfired when the men of the town found the bag of money. So when it comes down to his morals it is obvious that Huck has grown a great deal with the adventure he has been having. From when he first left his father to his event. So in a sense, the adventure has made him a better person than the widow Douglas has.

  2. In these chapters during the ordeal of the King and Duke's deception as the Wilks brothers, Huck's understanding between right and wrong is evidently growing. As he is witnessing the King defrauding the Wilks girls, he begins to feel guilty and makes it his moral decision to help them retrieve their money back. He finds it as an obligation to help them due to the fact that he knows that this money is what they are now depending on. As for his morals, it is noticeable to the reader that they have positively grown and improved from when he used to be cared for by The Widow. Although Huck sometimes seems to stumble between his old morals and the present ones, his ideas and thoughts are generally positive and considerable to others.

    Huck has been living his life based on the beliefs and thoughts of people that surround him. When he was told that slaves were only supposed to be used as objects and treated unfairly, Huck lived his life accordingly. Although he has been helping Jim escape from slavery, he still can't decide weather or not he is doing the right thing because of the fact that Jim is a black slave. He was taught that he wasn't supposed to be treating Jim like he has feelings and should be a free man, so he struggles to find goodness in what he is allowing happen. Huck doesn't think that it is a safe thing to be doing because he will be punished. However, when Huck is faced with the decision to tell the truth or lie to Mary Jane about the king and duke, he thinks differently. He knows that he won't get into trouble by telling her they are frauds and finds it much safer than attempting to help Jim escape.

  4. The incident with the wills brothers demonstrate how Huck is good and bad. The feeling of taking caresiblings siblings make the moral noticeable. His morals had been helping him to making him a good person not like when he used to be care of the widow. The adventures make him a better person.

  5. In these chapters, you can notice that Huck begins to mature morally. Throughout the novel, he never took initiative for his actions, and he has always followed what others had to say for him, such as The Widow, Miss Watson, and Judge Thatcher. But then, the moment when Huck decided to steal the money, he grew out of his old ways. The ordeal of the king and Duke's deception was the starting point of Huck maturing morally and making decisions on his own. As he continues his adventures, he will continue to mature and build on his independent ways.

    1. Throughout the last chapters, Huck begins to grow up and make desicions on his own. He doesn't allow the people around him to influence his judgement as much. As he does this, his morals begin to mature as well. An example of this is the incident of the king and duke's deception as the wilks brothers, Huck begins to separate the bad from the good in his desicions by helping these girls who were scammed of all their money, by getting that money back to them. That act alone displays the level of maturity that Huck has grown to.

  6. During the King's and Duke's deception as the Wilks brothers, the reader is presented with the opportunity to observe the maturity that has grown within young Huck. Because he was raised by a widow who owned slaves, she instilled morals in him even at his young age. Throughout this novel we see him being tested time and time again often questioning his morals. He constantly struggles to deviate good from bad. The King and Duke in these chapters scam the girls out of money that they're depending on. Huck who is kind hearted, chooses to help them and get their money back for them. At this point in the story, is where I truely believe Huck begins to mature morally.

Huck still has a little trouble to decide wether to tell the Wilks girls that king and the duke are lying and stealing from them. Each event that passes we can see that now Huck can make some choices all by himself. Huck is growing fast and being mature than the rest of the people that came up the last chapters.

  10. The ordeal with the king and the wilks brothers has how huck the right and wrong. He stole the money then decided to help the girls in the end. He felt guilty stealing the money. He has shown how mature he is by making his own independent decisions. Huck has grown tremendously within this novel with not just his morals but as a young man too. From living with the widow, and telling him all about slaves, to helping the wilks girls and making his own decisions. Huck has proven to be independent, mature, and more responsible for his actions.

  11. Throughout the duration of Huck being in the company of the "Wilks brothers", he matures greatly. In these chapters Huck is finally showing sympathy, selflessness, and responsibility of his indirect actions. Instead of just going along with another money-hungry scheme from the King and the Duke, Huck finally acts upon his morals by hiding the money from its wrongful owners and admitting the truth to one the deceased's daughters. Feeling pity knowing that the girls were being exploited, Huck put someone else's best interest in mind for the first time. He is showing growth as a person, a direct result of the ordeal during the King and Duke's deception as the Wilks brothers.

  12. Throughout these few chapters Huck begins to mature more quickly. This had occurred because of the incident of the king and dukes deception as the Wilk brothers. The king and duke try to trick the girls out of their money. Once Huck realizes what the king and duke were doing Huck had his feelings and concience come through him. That had led Huck to do what's right. When this had happened to Huck he started to change his ways and began to think on his own. This scene had opened a door way to Huck on becoming a mature young man.

  13. At this point of the book Huck has mature morally. In the incident with the Wilks brothers we can see that Huck has a better understating between good and bad. As he sees how the king is defrauding the Wilks girls he doesn't agree that is the right thing to do. Huck has to make difficult decision by telling the truth or not. By the end of these chapters Huck starts making decisions by himself. This demonstrates that Huck has grown and is becoming more mature as the book goes on.

  14. As Huck sees the King and the Duke deceive the Wilks girls and take their money, he soon begins to feel guilt and his morals take a hold of. He decided to help the girl get the money back since Huck's morals the money was all they now depended on. This tells the reader that Huck's morals have grown and become more positive than when he was under the care of The Widow. Even though sometimes his old habits seem to come back, he is a more positive person all-round and he can think of other people and not just himself.

  18. In these chapters, Huck's first moments of maturity are expressed. Up until this point, he followed the authority of those around him. Huck acts on his convictions and morals, to help other people. For example, when Huck knows that the duke and king are making bad decisions by lying to the girls; he still has trouble whether or not too tell the girls about the duke’s and kings mischievousness. This shows how Huck is gaining more responsibility, rather than only thinking about himself.

  19. After finding out how much money was left from from the fathers death of Mary Jane and her sisters, the King and the duke lie about being keeping the money safe. The girls trust them but have no clue that the king and the duke are running away with the money. Huck soon finds out about their evil plan and tries to stop them. At this point he starts liking Mary Jane and helps her because he knows that the king is doing wrong. This shows that he is becoming more aware of whats wrong, proving that Huck is being more self conscious and grown up.

  20. Huck seems to mature morally through chapters 21 and 29 during the ordeal by revealing the scheme of the stolen money to the Wilks' sisters. He feels a sense of pity for them because of how he had mislead them into believing that Duke and King were the Wilks' brothers to begin with. This presented Huck maturing because he was able to correct the mistake he had made at the beginning, gained responsibility in thinking of others before he thought of himself, and being independent and not following Duke and King in all the mischief they were causing.

  21. Huck has done a lot of self analyzing throughout his journey but his actions truly revealed his maturity throughout these chapters. He has been working hard and helping the Duke and King make money without being any trouble. Huck became attached to Mary Jane and felt the need to confess the scheme to her. He told her not because he felt like he had to but because he wanted to and that is being mature. He's learning the truth will set you free, when he confessed to Mary Jane she was very understanding and actually wanted to help him.

    When the King and the Duke pretend to be the Wilks brothers, Huck understands that he needs to do what is right. The idea to steal the money serves Huck no good but it would be the best thing for the three sisters. He puts the need of others above his own, thus deepening and maturing his character. Plus it takes a great deal to stay with the King and the Duke until the very last possible moment takes courage and determination. Huck is no longer the boy that started out on this journey.

  25. Huck maturity is starting to take affected on him. As he now know the difference between right and wrong.

  26. It would seem as though each and every situation Huck is forced to go through makes him have to bring his maturity to the next level. In this particular situation Huck is faced with the making of a moral choice on whether to go along in deceiving and swindling the money from the girls. He made the right choice in telling one of the girls about the scheme. Therefore in making the correct choice this show that he is beginning to mature morally his right and wrong decision making skills are getting better. He also decides that it would be the best time to try and get away from the King and the Duke. Realizing that the King and Duke will lead them to nowhere but trouble.

This showed how Huck matured as a person because he was able to stand up for what he thinks is wrong and do something to fix it instead of just going along with it.By doing this he shows the reader that he is becoming more independent and maturing morally in the choices he makes.

  28. Huck has been through a lot of complications dealing with his inner conscious. In these chapters, he finally matured mentally by realizing that what the king and duke were doing was morally wrong. Huck did not like the idea of the sisters being fooled and lied too, so he did what he thought was right; take the money and hide it away from the frauds. At this point, when Huck put the money in the coffin, he chose the right path of maturing. He grew up during this scam because he saw the girls' faces and how innocent they look while he knew what fallacious situation was going to come next. This event that happened in the book will help him with his choices and whether to stand up and take action.

  29. You can tell that Huck is growing up because he is less ignorant. He doesnt believe the King and Dukes lies of being who they say they are. Now the way Huck has matured morally is shown through how Huck acts upon the guilt that he has. Huck, knowing that the frauds are scaming poor innocent girls, decides to help Mary Jane and her sisters on getting their money back. He does this by telling mary the truth about the King and the Duke. When Huck does such a great act of kindness towards people he does not know it shows that he has realized to act on his feelings more, to do the right thing.

  37. Huck is finally starting to show that he does know the difference between right and wrong and is morally favoring right to wrong. After seeing the King and Duke pretend to be the Wilks brother to take money from three girls Huck's "good nature" emerges. Huck is becoming more comfortable with his own mature choices. He is not afraid to tell one of the girls what happened and is not worried about exposing the King and Duke. Huck is developing more into the promising person he once was on the road to in the beginning of the story, before he went with his dad.

  39. In these chapters the King and the Duke scam all sorts if people including the Will sisters. Being frauds and willing to take this family's money and separate a slave family just opens Hucks eyes more and more. He realizes what they ate doing is terribly wrong and disgusting. Finding the courage in him to step up and do something makes Huck a more mature person bysi much. He is finally learning how to care about others and notbe so selfish. He could have easily run away with the money instead if placing it in the coffin but doesn't and that shows a high level of maturity and that he does great things even if no one is watching.

  40. In these chapters you are brought to see the king and duke are deceiving some girls of their money for their own benefits of course and Huck realizes this is wrong. He was raised by a widow who owned slaves but instilled proper mannerisms and morals in him therefore giving him the good morals to help these girl retrieve their money from the king and duke. Thus showing his knowledge of what is wrong and right, being mature and having that particular side of him one that is kind and helps others, ignoring what others think and understanding that what he does is right.

  41. The time that Huck was in the company of the "Wilks brothers", his maturity has increased. It can be shown that he is maturing because there is one case where instead of trying to keep the money he decides to hide it from the wrong owners and admits to the truth. Huck is finally starting to show emotion regarding his actions. He begins to know right from wrong. As he begins to notice these things, he starts to want to fix the mistakes that he has made. This is the first time that Huck makes the right decision rather than the wrong, which shows how much he is maturing.

  42. During the event of the King and the Duke meanwhile pretending to be the Wilks brothers, Huck had acknowledged what the right thing to do would be. It pretty much expresses this mature side of him due to him thinking that way. The last thing he probably would have been was selfish because he thought of putting the Wilks girls needs in mind before his, and so he did. There definitely was a side to Huck that has been created that you probably wouldn't be able to have seen earlier throughout the book.

  43. Huck is looking at a situation, which is the King and Duke taking some money from girls. That is showing how unfair they both are. So Huck was raised good with the widow showing him good manners and what ia fair. Huck made a decision of not taking the money, he knows that isn't right. Which this shows how much Huck has learn and is matured.

  44. In these chapters, you begin to notice how Huck can differentiate whats right from wrong. Huck knows that what the King and Duke are doing is wrong and decides to take it upon himself to make things right. Seeing this happen shows how Huck is maturing by making decisions on his own and putting the girls needs before his. His adventures with Jim help Huck grow up. At this point Huck is a completely different person compared to how he was in the beginning of the book, he is definitely more mature now.

    1. I completely agree with you, We do begin to notice a change in Huck in that he knows inside that what they are doing is wrong. Though he was raised by an abusive, drunk father, he still knows some morals and can tell right from wrong. I also agree with you in that Huck's maturity is shown in that he puts other people before him. It takes true maturity to do that. I also agree with you in that Huck has definitely grown from the beginning of the book.

  47. Joshua Messer, Chapter 21-29



    Huck morally grows in this book the further down river he goes. At first, Huck was quick to lie and make-up stories to get himself out of trouble, but the farther he drifted downstream, the more he grew as a person. He learned that lying was not always the best method and felt better when he told the truth. Huck becomes entangled with Duke and King in their attempt to swindle some girls out of money. Duke and King pretend to be someone they are not to get their hands on money left to the girls. This information gets the best of Huck, who morally does the right thing and tells one of the girls the true intentions of King and Duke. Huck now realizes that being truthful is a good quality and asset to have as a person and realizes that it makes him feel good about himself. Huck is literally “growing up” in front of the readers eyes.

  48. During the King and Duke's deception as the Wilks brothers, Huck faces situations that affect his development. When he discovers that the King and Duke are fakes, he remains quiet. Later, Huck does what he believes to be morally correct when he hears that the King and Duke are going to steal money from the Wilks sisters. Instead of continuing to be silent, he retrieves the stolen money and returns it to its rightful owners. Towards the end of these chapters, Huck speaks to Mary Jane and tells her that the King and Duke are frauds. Huckleberry Finn has grown during these adventures and has started to think with reason more often.

  50. Despite the notion of gettin easy money, Huck finds himself having an internal conflict. The kindness shown to him by the Wilks' sisters and their innocence pushes Huck to uncover the deception. With this newfound maturity Huck will be able to conceptualize his own judgement, decisions, and actions. Inevitably, causing Huck to grow up and morally mature.

  57. During the King's and Duke's deception as the Wilks brothers, we as readers are fortunate to see Huck grow in maturity. Good and bad is a huge theme throughout the novel; as the novel goes on we get to see Huck become the person that makes good thoughts based on other’s mistakes. The King and Duke scams the girls out of their money, but being the kind-hearted person Huck has become, he tries to steal it back knowing that the money is all that they have. Although the story may have taken place in a matter of a couple of months or so; Huck has grown by years in maturity and has changed his morals for the better. He now puts someone’s best interest first before his own, showing much growth as a person.

  58. As we can see Huck has better sense of what is good or bad. He steals the money from the king and the duke and hides it in the coffin. When he tells Mary Jane where he hid the money, it gives us a notice that Huck starts to listen to his conscience. In the beginning chapters,Huck didn't care much about people he only cared about himself and avoiding his dad. Now hi is vulnerable to do the right thing which causes him to ruin the king's and Duke's plan. It seems as dough as we advance chapters Huck matures more and more.

  60. Through out the story, it is clear that Huck is gaining awareness as to what is right and what is wrong. In these chapters, he was put to the test as he was to decide whether or not he would go against his scamming acquaintances. The King and Duke portrayed the brothers of Peter Wilks to scam the daughters of Peter out of the money he left in his will. Everything was working well, but Huck was devastated by all of the mourning and sorrow occurring within the family. Due to this Huck selflessly put the priority of getting the girls their money back over his own safety. It was an honorable action that shows he is becoming responsible.

  65. As we keep reading through the novel, Huck definitely is forming a big sense of maturity as well due to the way he views life. Instead of basing his life off of other people, he can finally decipher between wrong and right. The king and duke try to pull a scam and cheat the girls out of money. Huck can see the devastating effects it leaves on the family. Huck's conscious got to him so much that it didn't allow him to go along with thier apparent immature decisions. He ended up putting his own safety behind him to give the girls back what was rightfully thiers. Here is proof that there is a change of character coming from Huck and we can definitely begin to see what his morals are now.

  71. Huck learns to grow up a lot throughout these few chapters. Before all these things happened to Huck, if he saw the scam the Kind & Duke was trying to pull, he would have joined it. After he goes through this experience with Jim and running away he learns that it is wrong. Him wanting to help the girl find the money shows his level of maturity and responsibility has boosted. These are the times Huck realizes there's more to life that being childish. He is on the path to finding who he is.

  72. As he grows up (matures), Huck becomes confused morraly questioning how to treat the the person who he was raised to see as a tool. But as he travels with jim he learns about jim's strong tie to his family and begins to see him as more of a person than a tool. Huck does become more mature although he has a long way to go. Learning to be good and morally right is difficult when you've been rasied a way completely different.

  73. Huck was growing up as a irresponsible young man as he was under the care of his father. But as he is taking this journey it might seem that Huck is starting to take action in being more responsible. Knowing the King and the Duke were scamming not only Mary Jane, but as well as other people. Huck could have had another level of maturity, and let it pass right him and act as if he never knew anything. Telling Mary Jane what they were up to was a responsible decision and proved that this journey he's taking is only showing his true colors on how he really wants to grow up. He didn't need the widowed woman nor his alcoholic father to grow him up or teach him from right or wrong. he is making his own decisions like a young adult, and that's where his maturity level rises dramatically.

  74. During the time that the Duke and the King were pretending to be the Wilks family, Huck further recognized what con artists these men really were. Upon Huck’s realization of their deception, he decides to be responsible and not allow these men get away with the money. By helping the Wilks girls, he did the right thing. He matured morally when he is overcome by guilt and pity for the girls being robbed. He saw that they couldn’t help themselves so he stepped in and did what he could, under the circumstances.

  75. Huck has been progressing as a person with morals and a conscience. And he's starting to see people how they really are. In the case of the "duke" and the "king", he realizes that these men are lying about their identities. Because of past experiences, he "learnt that the best way to get along with his kind of people is to let them have their own way". As for his morals, Huck realizes that conning Joanna, Susan, and Mary Jane out of their wealth is morally wrong. Now, here is where Huck shows improvement, but he's not a saint. He doesn't outwardly tell the sisters of the malicious intentions the duke and king have. But he does try to set things right when he takes the money and leaves it in the coffin of Peter Wilks. But Huck's actions have good intentions and that shows that he is beginning to be a morally sound person.

  76. Huck seems to be maturing morally through chapters 21 and 29. In these chapters he realized that the king and duke were doing something wrong. Huck didn't like the idea that they were being lied to and had their money taken from them. He goes with his instincts and does the right thing, he takes the money and hides it from them. Huck begins to show emotion regarding his actions and knows what is right and wrong.

  77. In these chapters Huck finds how much money was left from the fathers death of Mary Jane and her sisters. The girls trust the king and Duke to keep their money safe, but they don't know that the King and Duke are planning to run away with the money. Huck finds out about their plan and tries to stop them because it's the right thing to do. He puts the priority of getting the girls their money back over his own safety. It shows that Huck is becoming more aware of what's wrong, and that Huck is growing up.

  78. In these chapters during the ordeal of the King and Duke's deception of the Wilks brothers, Huck begins to truly realize the difference between right and wrong. He becomes more mature and responsible. For example when Huck sees the King taking the money from the girls, he begins to feel guilty and decides to help them get their money back. He believes this is the right thing to do making him more responsible and mature. With all that has happened to Huck in the past, it helps him tremendously change his morals and his maturity levels.

As Huck witnesses The King and Duke stealing money from The Wilks girls he comes to realize that he should do the right thing in helping the girls get their money back.

When the real Wilks show up, there is conflict on figuring out who the real Wilks are. In all of the commotion, Huck escapes with Jim and they continue sailing on the river that has given them a lot of problems that Huck has had to face throughout the story; which has helped develop Huck's character.

  82. As Huck witnesses the theft of money by The King and Duke, it is apparent Huck receives a bad vibe. Earlier in the story Huck would have just decided that it isn't his business and therefore should not care. The change in Huck's morals and maturity level becomes apparent when he decides that the right thing to do is return the money to the girls. At this point in the novel, Huck is not only able to distinguish right from wrong, but is able to also act upon it. This is allowing him to become more insightful, less impulsive, and more likely to do the right thing.

  83. Huck changes a lot morally through these chapters. When Huck finds out about the King and Duke he realizes that he must do the right thing. I feel that if something like this would have happened at the start of the book I think he wouldnt have done something like this which symbolizes Hucks moral changes througout the book. Huck is also changing in a lot of ways for the better like taking responsibilty for his actions. He has definetly changed a lot through this book and I feel these good changes will continue.

We do, in fact, see that change in Huck's new way of thinking when he takes that chance to trust his conscience and return the money to it's rightful owners. We also notice that he is now looking at Jim as a person rather than a 'tool' or a 'slave'.

  87. Huck begins to distinguish what feels right from what makes him feel awful. With the deception by the King and the Duke posing as the Wilks brothers, he feels bad with letting them betray the daughters of Peter. As he begins to know the girls, especially Mary Jane, he begins to feel guilty that the King and the Duke will rob them of their money. Huck has matured steadily and greatly, because he comes up with a plan of getting the money from the King and the Duke and giving it to the girls with an explanation as well. But, when he felt that his plan would not follow through as well as he hoped, he told Mary Jane the truth about her "uncles" and tried to help her to have them arrested and saving him and Jim at the same time. I think that since he began to understand the girls more and their personalities, just as he did with Jim, he grew a morality of not deceiving them and hurting them. He seems to try to think about them and how they feel or would feel before makes a rash decision that would either hurt them or hurt him as well.

  88. Huck now knows judgement between right and wrong and uses that knowledge to make his decisions. Instead of being part of the act of theft Huck admitted to the Wilks sisters that the King and Duke are not their uncles. He became determined to prove that the "rapscallions" were lying and deceiving the women. The women were completely used and led astray by the King and Duke that Huck began to feel sympathy for them because of this. By his actions Huck proved he has become selfless, and morally mature.

He believes that the deception is a horrible crime to the to the family they are conning. Huck hates the idea of them actually getting away with it, so he devises a plan. He does become more mature with this situation by telling one of the daughters the truth. He then also hides the money in the grave of the dead Wilk's

  92. On chapter 21-29 the king and duke scam people for their money for their own benefits. For example, Huck witnesses the King stealing from the Wilks girls, he begins to feel bad and helps them get their money back because they only depend on it.This tells the reader that Huck's morals have grown and gotten better. He is starting to realize right and wrong and has to take responsibility for his actions.

  93. It clear that Huck is maturing. In fact not only is he maturing but he is also becoming considerate of other people. I say this because if anyone else had been a witness of robbery probably would have backed out of this situation. But in the other hand Huck didn't back out he decided to come out and be honest. When you can take responsibility for your own actions and you can make decisions for yourself, this is a clear sign of someone maturing.

  95. I believe Huck matures as he begins to tell the differences of good and bad. He knows the deception the King and Duke has laid upon the three daughters, and does what he can to foil their plans. You can see, in chapter 28, Huck happens to wait until they're asleep and hides the gold within the coffin of Mr. Wilks. He evidently feels a bit nervous due to the extremities and possibilities that can happen if they were to find out. His morals, however, he matures through the situation and decides to stand up and take care of the siblings. From the time he escaped his father to now, you can truely see how grown Huck has become; in comparison to his time spent with the Widow Douglas.

  98. Throughout the last read chapters, Huckelberry begins to grow up and make decisions on his own without others "2 cents in it". Huck has grown to be more independent he doesn't let the people from his surroundings influence his judgment as much as before. This also begins to show that he has matured and his morals have changed for the better.He has become to understand the difference between right and wrong. An example of this is during the King and Duke's deception as the Wilks brothers. This the incident is important because Huck begins to separate the bad from the good in his choices by helping these girls who were scammed of all their money, by getting the money back to them. Not only has he come a long way since escaping from his father, Huck has became more caring for others rather than just himself.

  99. Although Huck has had some hesitation as to whether or not he should help Jim, when it came to the ordeal during the Dukes and kings deception he knew that it was morally right to help the Wilks girls so he did so. This shows how Huck is maturing, and growing as a person by doing the right thing. It also shows that Huck is an over all good guy because he likes to do the right thing. If he was not mature he would have chosen to go along with the king and dukes tricks, but instead helps the girls gain their money back. Huck is growing into a good human being.

  102. During the Wilks brother display Huck experiences true deception. Huck had never experienced so much evil and scamming in his life. When Huck almost gets caught in a lie and all the other girls in the house defend him he sees the kindness within them. Huck does not want to hurt these girls, he feels like they do not deserve to be stolen from. Which then starts all of Huck's right decisions. Huck then matures by making one decision to hide the money for the girls. Then in the process of hiding the money his morals kick in again. Thus causing him to make the mature decision to turn in the King and the Duke. This decision was the moment Huck finally became mature. Huck matured morally by sensing right and wrong and chose to go right proving that Huck is no longer a boy, but a mature young man. Huck is now starting to make better decisions and shows that he will not go down the path of conning like the King and the Duke have. This is showing that Huck is turning out to be a pretty good person. Even if he thinks of himself as bad.

  103. In these chapters, not only does Huck's character develop even more, but so does him morality. In a sense of owning up to his actions before, and in a way feeling remorse from them and actually thinking his actions through as well as the consequences. King and Duke play a big part in this because Huck realizes he does not want to be like them and he wants to do the right thing. His maturity also begins to show along with his morality. You start seeing Huck as the good guy he really is, and the great man he wants to become.

In the night, while they are asleep, Huck hides the gold in Mr. Wilks' coffin. Huck knows he did the right thing but is still worried about what might happen if they find out he has been doing this.

  114. Following the time that Huck meets 2 fraudulent men and is in a trap basically where he has a choice on Jim's fate, he develops this sort of sense of morality in terms of being disgusted by 2 men disguising themselves as Gods. However, he is mature and smart about it. He decides not to immediately rat out the dauphin and the duke and he basically sees the act of yet more superstition when the dauphin and the duke are exposed and caught when the real brothers show up hence creating a confusion for everyone especially Mary Jane. And even though there wasn't enough evidence to prove that these men were fraudulent and how devastating it is for Huck and Jim to run into these men again and hence get Jim in trouble, Huck learned much out of it in a sense of morality. as I am discovering in all of these chapters.

  122. In the previous chapters Huck struggled with making his own decisions because, he was more of a follower. He believed in other peoples opinions instead of his own. His decision to help the Wilks brothers get their money back when the King and the Duke deceive them shows his level of maturity increasing. The fact that he made this decision on his own is evidence that his thought process is becoming more independent.

  124. At this point in the story, Huck is really maturing. Instead of being the follower that he was, he is now a person who can make independent decisions. He decided to help the Wilks brothers get back their money during the Duke and King deception. He knew the morally correct thing to do was help, so he did.

  125. Throughout the duration of Huck being in the company of the "Wilks brothers", he matures greatly. In these chapters Huck is finally showing sympathy, selflessness, and responsibility of his indirect actions. Instead of just going along with another money-hungry scheme from the King and the Duke, Huck finally acts upon his morals by hiding the money from its wrongful owners and admitting the truth to one the deceased's daughters. Feeling pity knowing that the girls were being exploited, Huck put someone else's best interest in mind for the first time. He is showing growth as a person, a direct result of the ordeal during the King and Duke's deception as the Wilks brothers.

  126. In these past few chapters Huck has been in company of the Wilks Brothers. Being surrounded by them shows how he has mature to a good point, where he now shows responsibility and can take care of his own actions. In the accident there was with the Wilks Brothers he starts to understand more on whats good and bad. Up to these few chapters we see that Huck is now independent because of what he has learned. And it starts showing us, of a good change he has been.

  128. Huck grows up during the trip with the king and duke because he knows that what they're doing is not right and they are fooling the girls and later on, he starts feeling guilty and decides to do something about it. He tells on of the Wilks' sisters about it and he helps get the money back. This shows how Huck is maturing and being a better person because he stood up for something that he knows is wrong.

  129. Same thing with the last few chapters ,Hucks is growing and he is learning to follow himself. He has the ordeal with the king and the duke, and he goes against their authority and everyone else. He has never actually done what he wants and feels like that is right. He hides the money knowing its wrong to take it away form those poor girls. He finally gets the sense of right and wrong.

  131. Huck shows a good and bad side during the ordeal of the King and Duke impersonating the Wilks Bothers. Growing up Huck lived by what people told him and he did what people wanted him to but now he's learning what's right from wrong. Huck almost gets caught in a lie showing his bad side but then shows that his mortality is growing which shows the good.

  132. All of Hucks life he has been told what to do, how to think, but when Huck goes with the King and Duke he shows some type of maturity. He learns to follow what he thinks and how he feels and goes against the Kings authority and everyone else's beliefs. He then realizes that they were making a fool out of the girls and feels some sort of guilt because he is not doing anything about it, so he tells one of the Wilks' sisters and helps them get their money back. Huck shows that his sense of knowing right from wrong is no longer weak.

  136. Huck Beggins to realize the stuff that is around him, and gains thought and feeling on what to do in a situation like this one. The king and Duke try to trick the Wilks girls into losing all they're money to the King and Duke. Huck is Aware of the King and Duke stealing the girl's money. He then risks his safety to take the money back and give it back the Wilks. That is enough for him to show and prove him self responsible. He later realizes what he did and felt good about it, so he tries to fix the things he had done wrong in the past because, he understands the good from the bad.

  139. Huck seems to mature due to the fact the he is utterly discusted at the King and Duke for all those scams that they've done to towns and so many other people, Huck then decides that he wont let the king and duke scam the sisters and run off with the money. Huck then comes up with a plan to steal that money back and confess to the sisters that the king and duke aren't really who they claim they are. This informs the reader that Huck is maturing and is willing to do what is right. Jaime Balderrama

  140. Huck shows maturity in the sense that he sees the big picture in the situation of the Duke and King pulling off this wrong deed of robbery to innocent girls. While helping the Duke and King he realizes that in the long run the hurt it would the girls to learn later on that they were frauds. He realizes that it wrong of them to steal from a dead man and his family. On page 201 Huck thinks to himself quote. " I says to myself, this is a girl that I'm letting that old reptle rob her of her money!" There and then Huck realized that morally that was wrong no matter the money. So he matured in that matter and decided to act good in that situation and put the whole fraud to an end.

  141. The insident with the Wills brothers demonstrate how huck is both good and bad. Huck has grown within his adventure. Huck never owened up to his actions yet when he decided to steal the money he realized a lot. The insident of the king and duke's deception when he decides to help the girls was when Huck started to mature morally and make its own decisions. He became kind hearted .

  142. Huck starts to morally improve himself by making his own decisons. He takes a step back and looks at what is wrong, he then knows what is the right thing to do. Thus he steals the money because he knew that they were just frauds. He then steals the money because he knows that it is wrong to let them trick the girls. The adventures he has been having, are beginning to mold who he is. This is a huge postive change, from the beginning when he was listening to what people told him to do, up till now.

  143. During the King’s and Duke’s deception as the Wilks brothers, we’re able to see Huck shape into a morally concerned individual with a heart. Huck struggles to find the middle between pleasing other people and also doing what’s right. The Duke and King pretend to be the Wilks brothers and scam the family out of their money. Huck knows the tragedy that the family has gone through and believes the plan the King and Duke has put forth is wrong. He ends up stealing the money and the girls eventually get it back. Huck has grown significantly throughout the novel. He’s able to think and then act for what he believes is morally right and in doing so, we as readers are able to see Huck grow into a well rounded individual.

  144. Huck, being a person who was more influenced by those around him, has grown into a more independent thinker. Normally he would react based on any threat towards his personally goals, but now he helps the Wilks girls retrieve there money back from the king and the duke. This shows a change in his morals because he helps others that are in need instead of acting on his behalf. He even comes up with a clever plan to hide the money from the king and the duke and reunite the separated slave girls. I foresee that he will continue to mature throughout the story.

  145. In chapters 21-29 during the ordeal of the King's and Duke's deceptions as the Wilks brothers, Huck is finally growing out of that shadow and becoming his own person. These chapters really display the independence that young Huck has had all along but never had the opportunity to show it. The true breakthrough is when Huck is able to decipher wrong from right and helps the girls retrieve their money from the King and the Duke. Huck's maturity changes to this point show that he is more than what his father perceives him to be.

  146. Huck has been living a way of life that is very learningful?...i dont know how to say it. he has been learning by mistakes of others and of his own mistakes and the beliefs and thoughts of people that surround him. When he was told that slaves were only supposed to be used as objects and treated unfairly, Huck lived his life to those expectations. Although he has been helping Jim escape from slavery, he still can't decide weather or not he is doing the right thing because he know that Jim is a black slave. Huck doesn't think that it is a safe thing to be doing because he will be punished. However, when Huck is faced with the decision to tell the truth or lie to Mary Jane about the king and duke, he thinks differently, he gets a new aspect of the way of life and his maturity. when he helps the girls get the money and to hide it, this action of his shows us that he is maturing more and more as the book progresses.

  148. The incident with the wills brothers showed how Huck can be good but also bad. Huck has been living his life by the beliefs and by the thoughts on what the people who are surrounded by him. By every event showed in every chapter Huck is showing his level of maturity, and in how he is now able to make choices by himself following in how he is becoming more independent.

  149. As Huck has grown up as a person, you create who you are from what you see and feel what is right or wrong. Huck was faced with a decision to mature morally or not to mature morally from the dilemma of the king and Duke. Huck helps the wilks find their money. Huck is starting to make wise decision on his own rather than upon others actions. He is starting to be more independent on decision making.

  150. Huck decides to help the Wilks girls get their money back. Huck feels that since they were depending on that money, that he should help then. Huck is maturing in a way that he is putting other people before himself.

  151. Huck realizes that the well-being of good people is more important than making easy money. He never quite considered himself a thief,—"It ain't stealing if you're just borrowing it"—even though he was initially helping the King and the Duke steal the Wilks' family fortune. He did, however, thoroughly believe that taking the easier route and avoiding confrontation was the easiest way to go about life—"always do whichever come handiest at the time"—, until he develops his conscience. Huck confessed, "These uncles of yourn ain't no uncles at all—they're a couple of frauds." Helping the Wilks sisters is proof that Huck is growing up in a moral sense.

  152. the king and dukes deception as the wilks brothers is a great opportunity to observe huck character, heart, decision making and just to see how much huck has changed throughout his adventure. this is also a give reat opportunity to see how much the people that huck has been around have influenced him and his actions in a positive way. in the beginning of this story huck didn't have that.
