About Huckleberry Finn

Huckleberry likes to go around and do as he pleases. He's the envy of all the town boys because he doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to. I think this is part of his external and internal motivations. He probably likes the attention. Also, when he and Tom are hiding in the barn and they think the stray dog is howling at them they were begging for a second chance, saying that they knew they would probably go to Hell. Huckleberry's external motivation for saying this was that he had done many bad things in his life and his internal motivation was that he didn't want to die so early and he wanted a second chance.
When Huckleberry agrees to leave the village to become pirates with Tom and Joe his external motivation was that there wasn't much he would miss, and his internal motivation was that he didn't care whatsoever about going anywhere.
