Read: "It was kind of lazy and jolly, laying off comfortable all day, smoking and fishing, and no books nor study. Two months or more run along, and my clothes got to be all rags and dirt, and I didn't see how I'd ever got to like it so well at the widow's, where you had to wash, and eat on a plate, and comb up, and go to bed an get up regular, and be forever bothering over a book, and have old Miss Watson pecking at you all the time. I didn't want to go back no more. I had stopped cussing, because the widow didn't like it; but now I took to it again because Pap hadn't no objections. It was pretty good times up in the woods there, take it all around."
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Ponder: Sometimes we just enjoy sitting around with nothing to do. It's nice to have to no cares and to not have to worry. Huckleberry Finn is this kind of person. Even though his father is cruel and beats him, he enjoys living with him and letting life just move on around him.

Pursue: Though living like this can be fun for a while, it gets old fast. I find enjoyment in working myself and accomplishing things. The other part of this passage that also stuck out to me was how Huck Finn enjoys being with his father even though he beats him. It showed me that a child will never stop loving their parents. Sometimes I think parent take advantage of this and treat their children cruelly just because they know that their child will accept it.
