Chapter 32 through 36

In chapters 32 through 36, the reader begins to see Huck developing more as and individudal. Throughout previous chapter Huck has always looked up to someone, at times it was the spunky Tom Sawyer or the careful slave Jim. The character of Huckleberry Finn was constantly trying to fill the gap with a male peer that was absent because of his father. Throughout chapters 32 through 36 you see Huck beginning to find himself. He not only identifies the behavior of Tom, but he can say and identify what he likes and what he does not like about his behavior. This shows a sign of maturity towards Huck becoming more of his own individual because often times children are blinded to the faults of someone who interests them which makes them seem perfect in the child’s eyes, but as people grow up, start to mature, and become their own person they can start to realized the faults of people the may once wanted to be just like, and by doing this they start to develop the type of person they want to be. These chapters are great example of Huckleberry’s maturity as an individual as he starts to move aways from being just like someone else and more towards being himself and doing things he likes to do.
