Huckleberry Finn Quotes.

"So I reckoned I wouldn't bother no more about it, but after this always do whichever comes handiest at the time."

This quote is Huckleberry Finn denouncing organized forms of religion. He decides not to put himself into a group that he might not wish to belong to later on. While Huck is presented between the two groups of the educated and the un-educated. I would argue that he is more on the educated side of things than he thinks because he understands that not every situation is the same, therefore the same reasoning would be obsolete.

"And did young Stephen sicken/ And did young Stephen die?/ And did the sad hearts thicken/ And did the mourners cry?"

I couldn't find another quote that really stood out to me so I am going to respond to the main topic of this one which is escape and death and the relation between the two. I have come to the conclusion that there is no way to escape anything apart from death. While one is still alive, if they try to escape from anything, it will continue to live on either physically in front of them or mentally in their head. It will not cease to bother them until they forget about it or embrace it. If they forget about it, it will continuosly be brought out from the depth of their mind and continue to bother them. Embracing is the only real solution. When they embraced the issue, they would resolve it and it would be put to rest. If they want to get away from it so bad that they cannot embrace it, then death is the only escape, but not only is it escape from the bad it is also escape from the good. As Emerson said, "good and bad are but names". They both exist so they should not be ignored.
