Huck can be called a hero for a great number or reasons throughout the book. In every chapter we notice little things that point in the favor of Huck being one. Huck does things that only one with good morals and a good heart would condone. Huck was brought from a abusive family and it did not hold him back. Huck expresses himself as a true transindentalist, he tries to break from the corruption of society and conformity. By the way he cares for poor Jim he shows the highest mindset in Twain's novel. Huck is the only one who can put the fact of racial times and culture behind him. Although exposed too the greatest amount of corruption, Huck is the purest character in the book.

Many people easily fall into corrupt things, such as conformity. One can test the strength of a mind by observing its ability to retain pureness. Huck is exposed to many evil ideas and ways of living. Although it seems to the reader that he has fallen into these ideas, Huck proves everyone wrong. When Huck lives with the widow, he is not allowed to swear, the widow is trying to straighten Huck out and this is one thing that must go. As one would think, being in a household where profanity was abolished would create clean language for Huck. As we see in chapter six, "I had stopped cussing because the widow didn't like it, but now I took to it again, because Pap hadn't no objection"(Twain 75), Huck does not conform to society or the widows way of living. He has a free mind and all he wants to do, is feel it. In the beginning of the novel the widow explains to Huck about prayer and being one with Jesus. Although Huck's religion is also known as superstition, he once again, pleases the widow. Huck tried this prayer nonsense, "Miss Watson she took me in the closet and prayed, but nothing came out"(60), with no luck. Huck isn't a rebel, he will try anything once, if its not for him, then that's fine because there are always alternatives. Although Huck mocks society, he does try out these conformities of humans.

It is obvious that Huck is the hero of Huckleberry Finn, for many reasons. Huck's commitment to good morals and a strong person make him an unforgettable character. By not giving in and standing his ground Huck remains pure in thoughts. The way he treats others and causes no harm to other beings makes him pure in actions. Huck could have been 180 degrees different due to all the things he was put through as a child and young adult, but no. Huck realized his parents mistakes as well as the mistakes in society as many people do today, the thing that makes him a hero, is Huck did something
