These norms practically dictate our lives. An article from Simply Psychology states that, " For example, students, neighbors and patients in a hospital are all aware of the norms governing behavior. And as the individual moves from one group to another, their behavior changes accordingly". In order for someone to be them self, they need to  escape from the rules that have been pressed on them, like Huck does when he befriends Jim, demolishing the societal expectations of racism, discrimination, and segregation.
Another realization from The Hague Institute of Global Justice, show how "in today’s globalized society, our lives are so intertwined with one another, that one’s freedom often depends on another person’s freedom. Therefore, it is more essential than ever to teach the next generation the importance of freedom to bring about change". This is referring to FDR's Four Freedoms speech. During the speech, FDR is expressing the freedom of speech, worship, fear, and from want. With this in mind, the article is correct. In order to achieve change, our youth needs to be educated on not only what freedom means, but how it works as well.]]> 2019-04-22 13:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353035196 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353035567 Quotes that show maturity:

"You gwyne to have considable trouble in yo' life, en considerable joy. Sometimes you gwyne to git hurt, en sometimes you gywne to git sick; but every time yous gwyne get well again" (27).

"We played robber now and then about a month, and then I resigned. We hadn't robbed anybody, hadn't killed any people. I couldn't see no profit in it" (21).

"People would call me a low-down abolitionist and despise me for keeping mum, but that don't make a difference. I ain't a-going to tell" (50).
 
These quotes show that Huck and Jim have realistic attitudes about life which makes them mature. They see things how they are, and stick by their opinions even if they are judged.

"By and by he rolled out and jumped up to his feet looking wild, and he see me and went for me. He chased me round and round the place with a clasp knife, calling me the Angel of Death, and saying he would kill me, and then I couldn't come for him no more" (Twain 37). 
"It made my eyes water a little to remember her crying there all by herself in the night, and them devils laying there right under her own roof, shaming her and robbing her..." (Twain 188). 
Through this theme in the novel, Twain is expressing to his audience that humanity isn't always good; in fact, people can be very cruel. 
Modern Examples-
Shootings happening in churches, mosques, and religious buildings. 
Assault and abuse happening in families from drug use.

*"And, then, there he was, slim and handsome,
and dressed the gaudiest and prettiest you ever saw, and he lit into
that horse with his whip and made him fairly hum—and finally
skipped off, and made his bow and danced off to the dressing-room,
and everybody just a-howling with pleasure and astonishment" (Twain 149).
“Gentlemen,” says the young man, very solemn, “I will reveal it to
you, for I feel I may have confidence in you. By rights I am a duke!”
Jim’s eyes bugged out when he heard that; and I reckon mine did,
too" (Twain 124).
*“Don’t it s’prise you de way dem kings carries on, Huck?”
“No,” I says, “it don’t.”
“Why don’t it, Huck?”
“Well, it don’t, because it’s in the breed. I reckon
they’re all alike” (Twain 153).

Twain portrays Huck as a careless boy who doesn't care what society thinks. He does what it is better and more comfortable for himself and not others. ]]> 2019-04-22 13:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353036519 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353037004 " I can't ever get it out of my memory, the sight of them poor miserable girls and niggers hanging around each other's neck and crying;" (Twain 181)
"It was a good sermon, and they all talked about it going home, and had such a powerful lot to say about faith and good works and free grace" (Twain 112)
"I felt dreadful glad I'd worked it all off onto the niggers, and yet hadn't done the niggers no harm by it." (Twain 183)
"Children was heeling it ahead of the mob, screaming and trying to get out of the way;" (Twain 145)
 “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment” (Ralph Waldo Emerson). ]]> 2019-04-22 13:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353037004 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353038777 "Soon as it was night out we shoved; when we got her out to about the middle we let her alone, and let her float wherever the current wanted her to then we lit the pipes, and dangled our legs in the water, and talked about all kinds of things- we was always naked..." (Twain 121). This quote views how the life after freedom from society is reached because they are in their own world on the river. They have escaped standards, which is shown by them being naked. ]]> 2019-04-22 13:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353038777 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353329261 -To be mature, must be able to see things in the way you may not want to see them (flexibility, non-judgement, optimism)

and sleeping in a bed pulled on me pretty tight mostly, but before the
cold weather I used to slide out and sleep in the woods sometimes,
and so that was a rest to me," (Twain 13). This part shows Huck escaping from the widow's, and society's, standards to the woods where there are no rules. ]]> 2019-04-23 12:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353329969 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353330491 2019-04-23 12:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353330491 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353330669 Overall, Twain was trying to tell his 1885 audience that not all people are morally correct, but it is up to us to always try to do the right thing. For example, Huck didn't like that the King and Duke were stealing money, because it was morally wrong. It was then up to Huck to make the right choice to benefit others around him, even though the people around him were making bad choices. This lesson is still applicable to today, because we still need to remember to make the right choices, even when others around us are not. ]]> 2019-04-23 12:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353330669 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353330911  ]]> 2019-04-23 12:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353330911 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353330952 2019-04-23 12:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353330952 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353331864 2019-04-23 12:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353331864 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353332199 2019-04-23 12:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353332199 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353332512   ]]> 2019-04-23 12:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353332512 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353332631 2019-04-23 12:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353332631 https://padlet.com/lauraliz139/zo972rjkb5ny/wish/353332901 To tie back into the examples given, it shows that people can make bad choices.
