He appreciates that Jim has treated him better than anyone else in his entire life and because of that, Huck sees Jim just as another human being. As Jim was held captive on his way to being sold, Huck decides to write a letter to Miss Watson who was his previous owner. When he realizes that the consequence of telling Miss Watson where Jim is would conclude in his enslavement once again, he decides to break the social norm. Instead of striving towards society’s idea of heaven, Huck tears up the letter and says, “All right, then, I’ll go to hell” (Twain 191). He couldn’t let all the good times that he and Jim had be thrown away over the fact that Jim is a slave and society’s views towards them lack the humanity Huck has
