As I first started reading the book, I learned that the narrator, Huck, is very young, which makes me think that throughout the reading he will not always be a reliable source to listen too. Huck doesn't always understand things fully which makes the reader sometimes wonder about certain details which have been missed.
A part that caught my attention and made me wonder a bit was the fact that Huck wanted to smoke and the Widow, Miss Watson told him no even though she was using chewing tabacco. This makes me wonder is Huck wanted to chew if she would've let him. This also goes to show that people back then are still the same as they are today and can be very judgmental among one another even though it is hypocritical of her to not let him since she continued right in front of Huck.
One other thing that can make the reader question Huck is the fact that they want to become murderers and robbers and the fact that they know all of the consequences, but don't truly know what all to do and they don't know the meaning of what they have signed up for. The terms and things they are going to do they don't even know the meanings of which makes Huck not trustworthy for the reader. Huck can be very foolish at times already in the book, but is a very thoughtful young man who knows what he wants and will do anything to do what is right for him and to make his life better, and he is clever about it all.
