What are some quotes from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn that describe Tom and Huck?

Answer 1

here, i have found some quotes that i think will work...pleaseee vote me best answer, this took forever, you had a hard question!

"Sometimes I lifted a chicken that warn’t roosting comfortable, and took him along. Pap always said, take a chicken when you get a chance, because if you don’t want him yourself you can easy find somebody that does, and a good deed ain’t ever forgot. I never see papa when he didn’t want the chicken himself, but that is what he used to say, anyway."
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, ch. 12 (1885).

this describes how huck actually is a good person, how he only takes what he needs, and tries to be morally consious of what he iis doing.

"I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she’s going to adopt me and sivilize me and I can’t stand it. I been there before." Ch. 43

This shows how Huck is actually behaving in a way that he feels is correct. He just needs a role model, and how strong he is for not changing based on the influence of other people.

"But that’s always the way; it don’t make no difference whether you do right or wrong, a person’s conscience ain’t got no sense, and just goes for him anyway.... It takes up more room than all the rest of a person’s insides, and yet ain’t no good, nohow. Tom Sawyer thinks the same." CH. 33

This shows how Tom and Huck are basically good people, they are moral, and have a sense of conscience, just that sometimes their sense of adventure takes over...
