Nothing is more natural or more necessary than his ability to lie. In certain situations I will discuss how he has to lie because circumstances have forced him to deceive and lies and evasions are the only weapons he has to protect himself from those who are physically stronger than him. Creativity, common sense and understanding of people of different classes give him the advantage he needs to survive in a rather harsh society. Living with Mrs. Watson and the Widow Douglas, Huck has adapted his life to that of a civilized society. Huck illustrates his cunning thinking when he sees signs that his father has returned. Being afraid of his father, he gives all his money to Judge Thatcher to avoid being haunted by his father. Protecting himself was his number one priority; he knew that if his father had the money he would get drunk and abuse him in return. His father's drunkenness became a threat to his life later in the story, and by preventing him from getting the money, he prevented his father from being an abuser at the time. Dad, Huck's father comes back to town to get custody of his son. for he is here luckily for Huck, finally resorting to kidnapping. Huck is locked in the cabin when Pap is not around; he was once locked up for three days. By then Huck was being neglected and mistreated; his father had no idea what his violent behavior was doing to Huck until he runs away. Pap has become so violent (without realizing it because he is always drunk), that he almost kills his son in the cabin, thinking he was the angel of death. This incident forces Huck to realize that his father poses an immediate threat to his life and he must escape. His escape plan is made of common sense combined with cunning and imagination. He creates a bloody scene with the blood of a pig he shot, broke down the door, left some of his hair on a bloody axe, and left a trail of food, creating the impression that he was killed by robbers; his plan is a success. Huck must enter the world after his death in disguise, repeatedly being born as a new person to hide his true identity. Dressing as a girl to go ashore and gather information is just one of the identities he will have to assume throughout his journey. This example shows how ingenious and innovative Huck is in creating a newsworthy story that will disguise his true identity. In the act of meeting a lady who has recently settled in the city, he dresses as a girl, invents a name and a convincing story, trusting that Providence will put the right words in my mouth when the time comes. She finds out that her husband was going to Jackson Island to see if he could find Jim. He is lucky enough to get this information otherwise they would have been caught by surprise. The capsizing of Jim and Huck's raft creates a situation where Huck must go ashore. He finds himself among barking dogs in front of the Grangerford house. Trusting in Providence again, he introduces himself as George Jackson and states.
