Huck Finn

Huck Finn
"Huckleberry was cordially hated and dreaded by all the mothers of the town because he was idle, and lawless, and vulgar, and bad - and because all their children admired him so, and delighted in his forbidden society, and wished they dared to be like him." - The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

With a deceased mother and a drunken, abusive father, Huck grew up wild and street-smart. He often defies convention, doing what he feels is right even if society tells him that he is wrong. He abhors any sort of alcoholic drink but isn't above smoking or stealing food from others. He has had little formal education, having spent most of his life homeless and on the streets.

" I ain't got no friends. Ain't got time for 'em. But if I did have one I'd want him to be like you."

''"Aunt Polly, it ain't fair. Somebody's got to be glad to see Huck." - ''Tom Sawyer
