Which extract was the most difficult to read? Why?

This is also a commentary on British society, as the boys govern their life in similar ways to how “Adult’s” did in the time of the book.
It is important to encourage and praise those less fortunate than us.
This is explored in “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” as the titular character is poorly educated and very disadvantaged in life. However, he is considered by other’s for difficult tasks, like joining Tom Sawyer’s band of robbers. This shows that his freedom and intuition is respected by his comrades
