Note to Miss Watson
Huck wants to write a note to Miss Watson. Huck realized that the dauphin sold Jim based off of the fake flyer that the dauphin created stating how Jim was a runaway slave. In the note that Huck was going to write, Huck planned on telling Miss Watson that he knew where Jim was. When writing the note, Huck realizes that Miss Watson would most likely sell Jim anyways, and if Miss Watson found out that Huck had helped a slave escape, he would be ashamed of himself. Also, Huck remembers how much fun he had with Jim on their journey so far, so Huck decides to tear up the note. This marks a significant change in Huck. Huck takes a huge risk by aiding Jim in his escape to the free states. Along their journey, Huck and Jim become very close. Huck realizes that they are not very different from one another apart from the color of their skin. Huck comes to truly respect Jim, even if he is a runaway slave.

Good Blog. I liked how you said that this was really a significant change in Huck. I thought it was interesting how you said that Huck remembered how much fun he had with Jim, so he didn't turn him in. Your blog was different from many of the others. It was good to see a change. Good blog, Ab! :)
Abbey,
I thought your blog was very good and also very in depth. you did a great job explaining why he made the decision he made and the reason he did not decide to make the one that he would have made if the situation happened earlier in the journey because that was the way society had taught him.
Muy Bien !
