Gullibility --- Huck believing that there is a genie that will come out of the lamp and build him a palace, only to actually try it and find out it was just another one of Tom Sawyer's lies.
Death and Rebirth --- Huck's dad coming back after being thought dead.
Loneliness --- Huck not wanting to go to heaven because Tom Sawyer won't be there and he'll feel alone without him.

The Exposition =(



Huck starts out under the care of Ms. Watson and Widow Douglas. He is trying to be turned into a sivilized citizen. The old women try to teach him to pray and the joys of heaven, but there really isn't much there for Huck and he has little to care about since most of the people he talks about are dead, or have been dead a long time. He then starts talking to Tom Sawyer and enters his gang by signing the blood oath along with Ben Rogers, and Joe Harper. They raid a sunday-school picnic in search for diamond-filled elephants. After a bunch of events, Huck gets word of his father returning.
