This family had some dirty secrets up their sleeves. Huck probably never saw it coming when he found out that family had a feud going on for Generations. This endless battle between Grangerfords and Shepherdsons. During Huck’s stay with the Grangerfords, he accompanies them church. Out of nowhere, both wealthy and “civilized” families bring their guns to church. As the guns are against the church's holy walls the preacher talks about brotherly love. “It was pretty ornery preaching- all about brotherly love and such-like tiresomeness” (Twain, 109). Right after the sermon everyone talked about how good it was. Huck then describe this hypocrisy as, “ I don't know what all, that it did seem to me to be one of the roughest Sundays I had ever run across yet” (Twain, 109) .

These two families have no consideration for God’s laws. The only love that exists is between Harry Shepherdson and Miss Sophia. Huck soon realized this wasn’t the type of family he wanted to stay with. The Grangerfords weren’t as civilized as how Huck had expected. Huck preferred being alone with Jim, living a life
