Tom is a romantic as for Huck who is a realist. Huck is an empiric who learns from his mistakes, but Tom takes his mistakes and considers them accomplishments. Throughout the story, we notice that Huck Finn is very aware of his actions, but refuses to stop because he knows that society is only worse.He has a better understanding of his surroundings rather than Tom who is pampered and molded into a narrow minded white southerner. Though Huck knows that Tom 's ideas are way over his head, he does not discourage Tom from performing them. He is very supportive. Both friends have some similarities which bonds the two together, but they are also very contradicting from one another. One does not need to have the same mindset as you to be equal to you, we are born with the right of equality and Tom did not understand that. Life is about becoming one with yourself, not society and Huck Finn acquired
