Question

Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We got six thousand dollars apiece – all gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece all the year round – more than a body could tell what to do with. The Widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn’t stand it no longer I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied. But Tom Sawyer he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable. So I went back.

Answer 1

Based on the passage, Huckleberry Finn can be inferred as a resourceful and adventurous individual. He demonstrates this by finding the hidden money in the cave and successfully escaping the widow's house to live freely. He seems to have a preference for a simpler and less civilized lifestyle, as indicated by his choice to return to his old rags and sugar-hogshead. However, he is open to joining Tom Sawyer's band of robbers, suggesting a potential rebellious nature and a willingness to engage in unconventional activities. Overall, Huckleberry Finn appears to value independence, freedom, and excitement in his life.
