Often we hide who we are inside because of the fear that we won't be accepted into society. This ties into Huck and Jim because they come from 2 completely different worlds and yet, they hide almost the same things. Jim hides the fact that he is smart and as "worthy" of an education as a white person. And Huck has to hide that he never had a family, he had a person, who was supposed to be his father, that abused him and used him to get money to get drunk. He never got an education because his father didn't think that it was important and all that was important is money and alcohol. They get to know each other and they discover that they aren't as different as society thinks they are. They are like square pegs in round holes. Many people feel like this in our society because society thinks that everyone should have 2 parents, good education, be rich, and if you are a girl; be so thin that you could almost count your ribs and be a subordinate to your boyfriend/husband. And most of the time, no one can fit this picture of a "perfect life." since everyone is different, society is essentially asking everyone to be a robot. This will never be possible, but society still thinks that this is how everything is supposed to be. Yes, society is changing and is more accepting, but it still wants everyone to be a carbon copy of the "perfect person."
