moarls in Huck Finn

Huckleberry Finn has a lot of morals in it. The Book also has a lot of satire in it. It talks about really issues in the time period such as slavery as well as other stronger topics. But in this book Huck has to face a lot of moral decisions. As for example when Huck is stuck in his house with his father and he can’t leave and huck thought it would be cool to live with his dad but didn’t turn out that way. Huck had to make a decision, weather to stay there and deal with his fathers drinking problem and being abusive toward him, or leave and try to make it on his own and face the world as it comes to him.
In this decision we can all agree Huck made a wise choose to leave. Instead of dealing with his father’s problem, he dealt with his own. And that’s being out on his own at such the young age of 13. If Huck would have stayed in the house with his dad then he would keep beating him till one day Huck was old enough to defend him self and could possibly kill his father one day then get in trouble with the law. So he had to make a “moral decision”
Now that Hucks gone and away from his father and his problems, he has to challenge his own with being out on his own. Now if I had to make the decision weather to leave or stay. I would stay, only because knowing that he would pass out and get tired before me. And I could slowly take everything he’s got. And hit him where it hurts in the long run make him regret ever doing those things.
But all in all I think Huck did the right thing in leaving and being on his own. He’s doing better now that he has control over his own life. Now he can tell him self what to do. And now he doesn’t have to deal with his father on his neck always being drunk and hitting and abusing him.
