Mrs. Watson's Letter

Huck decides to write a letter to Mrs. Watson in guilt. He feels guilty about helping Jim stay hidden and being with a runaway. He feels as if he has stolen from Mrs. Watson and it sort of hurts him becasue Mrs. Watson has always been nice to Huck and showed him hospitality. While writing the letter he starts to think about what will happen to Jim. The adventures that Jim and Huck have gone through have created a special bond and friendship between the two. He is friends with JIm and starts to feel even guiltier because he is about to rat out Jim, his one and truly only friend. In saying this, Huck decides to rip up the letter because he doesn't want to turn his back on Jim. Huck also becomes worried about what Mrs.. Watson might think of him if she knew he helped a run away slave and stole her property. This shows the Huck isn't doing what is easiest but using a sense of morals. He is doing what he thinks is the best for the both of them rather then looking out for number one, himself.
