Huckleberry Finn
Huck: Huck is the town's drunkard's son. He doesn't go to school or church, can't read or write, or has little to no education at all. He, like Tom, cares about reputation. But Huck can put more to his name (never goes to school, or church). Huck also has a sense of adventure. Sneaking out to the graveyard to try to cure warts with a dead cat is no feat for the faint-hearted. Huck's motivation is to keep the other town boys saying, "Wow, I wish I could be like Huck. He never goes to school or church. Imagine never having to memorize any verses!" Also, like Tom, he likes the little toys he and the other boys trade with: marbles and such.
