The way Huck can lie and lie and repeatedly amuses me on so many different levels. I personally have always seen deception as a resource, a tool or sorts you might say. But even still, just the different ways of which Huck can use his simple intellect and resourceful knowledge of how certain things interact with each other and how to work and manipulate something to his own benefit certainly has my approval. As I said before, even though deception can be a useful method of manipulation it can be a dangerous one, and I say that in the case this post might sound as if it is a means in which to promote or use such deception, in which it is not. A factor I might add to all of this is that I believe Huck came from a time in history in which someone was much more able to use deception to get what was needed in a much easier fashion, were as nowadays that is a bit more difficult. Although I admire what Huck is capable of achieving in these different chapters, I don't think it is a mannerism in which I will pursuit anytime soon.
