Huckleberry Finn After the First 10 Chapters

Throughout the chapters one through ten of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn many things have been reveled about Huckleberry Finn.  One could consider him to be very intelligent. He is smart in his school work. Huck has learned to read, write, and do math which is very important because he is the very first of his family to be enrolled in school. “ And looky here- you drop that school, you hear”(28)? Once his father hears that Huck is in school he does not support it at all. He is not only smart in school but he is also very intelligent out in the wilderness. When he is trying to escape from his father to go run away to the forest he comes up with a brilliant plan to make it look like he got murdered and his cabin was robbed even though he just ran away and took all of their supplies.
Huck is not only brilliant but he is also full of bravery.  He had the courage to escape his drunken father and live on his own in the woods until he came across Jim. Huck found his own food and made his own place to sleep which take a lot of bravery to accomplish. The first ten chapters also make him out to be very superstitious. Huck tries to avoid anything that could bring him bad luck at all costs. If he happens to run into a situation that could bring him bad luck he becomes very paranoid. “ I didn’t  need anybody to tell me that that was an awful bad sign and would fetch me some bad luck, so I was scared and most shook the clothes off of me”(13).This is what Huckleberry said after he flicked a spider into a candle . The first ten chapters of this novel shows Huck is full of intelligence, bravery, and superstition.
