In the new section of reading in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", the point of Huckleberry's maturity level is indirectly brought up. Readers need to understand that he is still a young boy and might not yet view the world the way Jim does. A great examply of this happens when Huckleberry mistakenly puts both himself and Jim in danger when going back to witness a wreck and getting involved with some bad me. Later it is revealed to the reader that he became so scared and overwhelmed with emotion that he actually started to cry. Huckleberry needs to realize that he and Jim are on their own in the middle of nowhere, trying to survive and not be sent back to the very place they escaped. He needs to be more careful.
