In Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, each character has different roles and personalities. For this book, the main character Huck Finn is telling the story from his point of view. Huck sees himself and other characters differently than readers do. Huck sees himself, as a person who is nave, doesn't care about religion because he doesn't have enough education and is not a Christian; however, he is the one who understands religion and can make decision with based on morals.
When Huck goes to Grangerford's house, he comments that, "He was a gentleman all over; and so was his family. He was well born, as the saying is, and that's worth as much in a man as it is in a horse."" From Huck's point of view, he thinks that Grangerford's family is rich, well-educated, and therefore makes him a gentleman. Through, "There were some books, too, piled up perfectly exact, on each corner of the table. One was big family Bible full of pictures. There was a hymn book, and a lot of other books. They had pictures hung on the walls - mainly Washingtons and Lafayettes, and battles, and that's worth as much in a man as it is in a horse,"" Huck thinks Grangerford's family are patriots and perfect Christians. Huck sees them this way because he is not civilized and he believes everything he sees. From my point of view, I don't see Grangerford's family as Huck does. Although someone is rich and well-educated, that doesn't mean make them a gentleman. Grangerford's family kills some of the Shepherdsons to take revenge for killing members of their family. If Grangerford is a true gentleman, he should find a better solution instead of killing. Even though Huck sees the family as perfect Christians, I can't agree with Huck. I see Grangerford's family as people who pretend to be really good religious Christians. It doesn't mean they are perfect religious Christian even though they put the bibles on their table.
