Huck Finn 1

It seems to me that Huck has only a One-Track-Mind when it comes to new things poeple tell him. Whether true or not, he decides if they're true in his mind or not. An example would be after supper when the widdow took out the bible and began reading passages about Moses. Huck was excited at first "and [he] was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by-and-by she let it out that moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then [he] didn't care no more about him.." I think the reason he quit caring was because he couldn't get any "real" hard evidence of his existance and all the things he had done. Who better to get the information from then from Moses himself, but he couldn't. However, he could prove himself right or wrong with the idea Tom gave him about witches and genies. "[He] thought all this over for two or three days, and then [he] reckoned [he] would see if there was anything in it. [He] got an old tin lamp and an iron ring, and went out in the woods and rubbed and rubbed...but it [wasn't any] use, none of the genies [came]. So then [he] judged that all the stuff was only just one of Tom Sawer's lies."
