Duke and the King
From the first time Huck and Jim met the Duke and King, I had a feeling it was a bad idea for them to help them and tag along. It is usually not a good idea to help people that are being chased by towns people. However, I can see why they would want to help them. Huck and Jim are also running away so think there couldn't be anything wrong with helping them out. Even when Huck discovers that the Duke and King are liars, he still lets them tag along. At this point I would have thought Huck would desert them. It is not wise for them to go along with the Duke and Jim because they are both con artists. Con artists usually attract trouble and attention wherever they go. This is a very bad idea since they are trying to avoid attention and trouble. Jim is a runaway slave so it would be very bad if he ended up getting caught. The same goes for Huck.

I think you made a really good point in including that fact that it wasn't smart for Jim and Huck to go along with the Duke and King's lies, especially because Jim is a runaway slave. I didn't include that into my post but I think that strengthens your view on the situations as to whether it was a good idea or not. I like that you back up the information and your opinion with true statements and facts from the book. Good job, Jimmy.
