How Did Huck Get So Good at Lying
How did Huck get so good at lying? I think Huck honed his lying skills because of his abusive father, Pap. Huck was so afraid of his father that to save his skin, he would lie whenever and however he needed. You see a glimpse of his lying ability when Huck tells Pap that he heard an intruder. I don't think lying is good, but Huck lies to survive. When he dresses up as a girl, he comes up with lies so quickly there seems to be no possible way that he isn't telling the truth. Honestly, Huck lies better than most politicians and that takes a lot of talent.

You are probably right about Huck lying better than most politicians because he actually able to make his stories believable and also when he is caught in the middle of a lie he is able to develop a great lie after to save himself from trouble and humiliation. However I do not think it takes much talent to lie better than a politician.
ReplyDeleteHa! I can agree with you on the politicians part, that was hilarious! And also I can agree with the issue of having to lie to survive, even though it may not be very good, its still needed for such a situation.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree! I Don't think there was any other option for Huck besides lying. For him, it was a skill of survival.
ReplyDeleteYou're very correct about Huck using lying to survive, it's like his mind has adapted to lie when he senses there might be danger. He has lying spider sense.
