Novel change after Ch16

After chapter 16, I have become to realize Huck's changes on his morals and they way he is with Jim. Huck's really starts to question actions he feels are wrong like whether or not he should turn Jim in or not since he seems how many great things they Widow has done for him. He never seemed to realize this in the beginning, but now he sees the importance of education and going to school and learning new things. Huck has also become more book smart as I noticed that his speech changed and the way he narrated things changed drastically. He has become more observant since he goes into great description of things, as well as more mature. He notices the feud between both families in chapter 18 and questions why they are fighting and understands that it is very wrong. We also see his moral have changed as he becomes very emotional in the scene where Buck dies and Huck begins to see how wrong it all was and notices he doesn't fit in and goes back to Jim and the raft where he takes comfort in and can be himself. I also noticed they way Huck starts to call the raft a "home" for him since he feels himself while he's there with Jim. He also starts to notice all the people that have been good to him like Buck and the Widow and this seems to help him mature throughout the rest of the chapters as his views change about his moral.
