I want to know if Huck will ever return home.

Huck has been gone from home for a long time because he had ran away with Jim and made everyone in his home town believe he was murdered. He has been off with Jim on the adventure for a long time. Now, what brings a bit of curiosity to my mind is the thought if Huck might venture his way home once again. Huck is still only a child and I think he shouldn't be away from home for this long, however his father isn't exactly a good person for him to be around and grow up living with, not to mention the fact that he is an awful drunk role model. He also lived with an old widow who was rather controlling of him. The widow made him dress in attire that she would pick out and she was very strict with him. The widow didn't leave him with many choices for him to make, so he always had to do what she said instead of what he wanted every now and again. Also, all the money that Huck had a couple thousand dollars that the Judge held onto and gave him allowances of, and this money, Huck's father was after. Huck's father would force him to hand over all the money he got and every time Huck got his allowance from his fortune that the Judge held, his father would force him to hand it over. But not only did Huck's father take the money but he took it to buy whiskey and other alcoholic beverages and just get drunk. He made things miserable and awful for Huck. Huck's home life was awful and boreing for Huck, and although it's dangerous for him to be out and about like he is, I don't think he will ever go home because his life better fits his character and what he enjoys now. He seems to like his life better out and about than he did when he was home. He will miss his friends but now he has adventure and because of this I don't believe he plans on going back to that place.
