Question

In at least two hundred words, contrast the characters of Pap and Miss Watson. In what way do these two characters represent the conflict in Huck between the expectations of society and his personal beliefs?

Answer 1

Answer:

Huckleberry “Huck” Finn - The protagonist and narrator of the novel. Huck is the thirteen-year-old son of the local drunk of St. Petersburg, Missouri, a town on the Mississippi River. Frequently forced to survive on his own wits and always a bit of an outcast, Huck is thoughtful, intelligent (though formally uneducated), and willing to come to his own conclusions about important matters, even if these conclusions contradict society’s norms. Nevertheless, Huck is still a boy, and is influenced by others, particularly by his imaginative friend, Tom.
