The question I need help with is not very specific, but maybe someone can help anyways.

The question I need help with is from Chapter 36 "Trying to Help Jim", it asks:
1. What is letting on? Why is it important in this chapter?

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Ps. I've already looked on SparkNotes.

this chapter is important because it shows a different side to Huck, he starts to look at jim as a normal human being instead of a "*****". This is when he has a battle within himself, between what he was taught by the widow and what he has learned from experience during his journey.

"Well," he says, "there's excuse for picks and letting-on in a case like this; if it warn't so, I wouldn't approve of it, nor I wouldn't stand by and see the rules broke -- because right is right,
I think letting on means
It means There are no excuses to do whats wrong and against morals...letting on is like letting what is not right to continue...
i think...i read that book when i was like 11 grade...

Letting-on in this chapter means pretending.
