There are many moral dilemmas that Huck faces throughout this story. By Huck only being 15 years old, some of his decisions may not be the right nor the wrong ones. One of the problems Hucks has is with Jim, a slave.
Huck is a white boy who helps out a slave by not turning him in to his owner or telling anyone that he knows where Jim is at. This decision could get Huck into some seriuos trouble if any body found out. He is risking his life for Jim because he would be killed if he keeps this a secret. This situation helps Hucks character because it shows how he is developing as a man and making different choices for himself.
If I were Huck I wouldnt have told anyone about Jim either. Even though I could get in trouble, I would want Jim to know that he can trust me.
