I felt just as surprised as Huck when Jim bailed on him! Did the men find him on the raft and take him downstream or did he run off?Is Jim still as commited to him and Huck's friendship as Huck is? I found it kind of funny when Huck "was trying to make [his] mouth say [he] would do the right thing and teh clean thing..."(telling on Jim or saving him) when really, instead of choosing to "go to hell" and do whatever it takes to save Jim, He was doing both good things, but again society had put the blanket over his eyes about what was right and wrong.
Then once again Huck is in a house hold where a slave is just a working machine and when the Aunt Sally says "well, it's luck(just a black person was killed); because soemtiems people do get hurt." In the beginning of the book i probably would have just continued reading on and excepted he saying that but sinse i've read and studied Huck's change of view and, in a way, rooting him on when he becomes closer to Jim, Aunt Sally saying that seemed very rude for the occasion and I half-expected her to apologize or realise what she said wasnt respectful...she never did :/
When Aunt Sally introduced Huck as Tom Sawyer I'm sure i smiled just for Huck because that would be such a relief from the stress of finding out who he was and any information he could gather up, and plus Tom was his roll model pretty much, so it was his dream-come-true!
