Huck Finn ch 16-22

In chapter 16, I was kind of torn between wanting Huck and Jim to continue their "adventure" further and wanting Huck to do the right thing and turn Jim in. This is where I saw the themes of both friendship and betrayal come together. It made me realize how a friendship can easily be broken because of it. But seriously Huck, Jim is all you have at this point and you want to turn him in? It's okay though because Huck found himself some new friends, the Grangerfords. Huck grows especially closer to Buck Grangerford, who's about his age. It's all rainbows and sunshine until the feud between the two families gets out of hand and Buck and most of his family members die... A cliche form of betrayal was performed by Sophia Grangerford, who ran off to marry a member of her family's rivals. How Romeo and Juliet-esque. These chapters basically consist of small forms of betrayal along with temporary friendships. I'm still unsure at this point that Huck is truly friends with Jim. I know Jim's feelings are genuine, I mean he makes it pretty obvious when he tell him, "Jim won't ever forgit you, Huck; you's de bes' fren' Jim's ever had; en you's de only fren' ole Jim's got now." The grammar may put you off, but honestly how cute is that? Ugh come on Huck, how can you betray that?
