While reading the first ten chapters of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain he shows the readers that Huck has an independent personality. Mr. Twain shows how independent Huck by him constantly has to fend for him self. Huck father takes him into the woods so that could be and live together. That’s when his independent personality really starts to kick in. Huck’s father is an abhorrent alcoholic. He locks his son in a small cabin when he goes in town for a drink and eventually becomes drunk . At times he wouldn’t return for days, and Huck would still be locked in the cabin. “Once he locked me in and was gone for three days” (Twain 33).
Huck also lives his life by adapting to his surroundings. In the beginning of the novel Huck begins to adjust to the life he has to live with the Widow Douglass. Who in turn tries to civilize him. This was when she was trying to get Huck to behave better. Huck turns from being uneducated and homeless. To a respectable young man that society accepts. “At first I hated school, but by and by I got so I could stand it” (Twain 24). Huck Finn has played each hand that was given to him, and learned to live by their rules and limitations.
