pping up his note to Miss Watson. Thus, modern man needs to rip up his letters to Congressmen, throw away his signs for picketing, and do what is morally correct; because that is the only way to cope with the “inescapable dilemma of Democracy.” Huck fights the power of the all-powerful society. After Huck tears up the letter he is about to send Miss Watson, Huck is struck with a sudden guilt. "It was awful thoughts and awful words, but they was said. And I let them stay said..." The guilt does not phase him though. Huck is willing to give up his afterlife for Jim's freedom now. To me, there could not be a more compassionate deed. Huck's unselfishness is something we could all stand to follow. Lessons can undoubtedly be learned from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn....
