person or group,”. Huck was taught that blacks were lower then whites, and should not be treated as equals, so according to this belief he should have hated blacks, but he didn’t. Huck was too smart and open minded for the belief of white supremacy.

Boo did help the children in “little” times. Like when Gem got his pants stuck on the fence. It was Boo that sewed them up, and when the neighbors’ house was on fire. It was cold out, and Boo came to scout with a blanket. He wanted to be there for people.
