Paolo, In your first paragraph, you say Huckleberry Finn (the book) is a "testament to the society of that era." Normally when you say something is "a testament to" something else, you are implying a positive evaluation of that something else. I don't think you meant that at all here, so your first paragraph is not very clear as an introduction to what comes after that. The topic sentence of the second paragraph is not clear either: "basis for which Huck changes" does not really make sense. I think you meant something like "the process by which Huck changes involves his decision making and his constant battle with morality." But this raises the questions I posed in the prompt -- what is that morality, exactly how is his conscience "deformed" and where did the deformation come from? You come at these indirectly by the end of the paper, but I don't think you ever really bring out the point that the basic conflict Huck has comes from the fact that everything he has been taught by society (especially the Widow Douglas) is predicated on the idea that white people can own slaves as property. So when Huck helps Jim, from that point of view he is stealing and he "knows" stealing is wrong (at least in theory!). It would be better in this kind of paper to start out with a clear statement of where you are going, then present the evidence that lets you get to that conclusion. There are a few other passages that you don't consider where Huck talks about how he has to overcome his conscience to do something his heart knows is right. It would have been good, for instance, to look in detail at the passage on page 66 where Huck is examining his conscience to try to understand why it is telling him what he is doing with Jim is wrong. You might have used what he said in that conversation with himself to illustrate exactly how the "deformation" arose from Huck's life with the Widow Douglas and how the pangs of conscience he feels are exactly like what we expect from a person having a moral quandary. The real pain he feels at these moments is what makes it so powerful: He feels genuinely bad for making what we know is the right choice because he thinks it is the wrong choice, based on his upbringing. It would have been good to show more of exactly how that plays out rather than just describing this in general terms. It's interesting that in fact in almost every (maybe every?) time Huck uses the word "conscience," Twain is showing a new step in this development, so you might have traced that progression in more detail. Some minor points: Don't use things like "okay" (p. 1) or "gonna" (p. 3) in formal writing -- "permissible" or "all right" or something along those lines would be better for the first, and "going to" for the second.
