Huck Finn 16

The beginning of chapter 39 I noticed that Huck started saying "we..." in the stupid ideas Tom came up with. So Huck seems to have given up with questioning his ideas once again. "...we like to got a hornet's nest, but we didn't...We was feeling pretty good (about their creepy letters)" Also i noticed Huck was supposed to dress up like a girl...again! But this time he was supposed to be a servant girl, the other time he was a normal, lost child looking for her uncle. Is this just a coincedence? Or should it mean something? A hornet's nest was meantioned again in the next chapter describing the situation Huck got himself into when Aunt Sally found him in the cellar. Maybe him and Tom WANTING to put a hornet's nest in the cabin and never doing it, huck's sticky situation being described as a "...thundering hornet's nest...", was just the thing to kick off a crazy night for the three of them.

Now, on the water, Huck is back to his old..old self with being close to Jim and all. He describes him as "[being] white inside..." So he's gone from slave, having emotion, having trust, having friendship, being worth "going to hell" over, and now; he's got white inside him! I think we've got our Huck back. Hopefully.
