"Human beings can be awful cruel to one another"
In this section of
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck reunites with Tom Sawyer. After having dinner at the Phelps house, the boys see a mob of people.
"We jumped to one side to let them go by; and as they went by, I see they had the king and duke astraddle of a rail... they was all over tar and feathers, and didn't look like nothing in the world that was human" (Twain 238).
Huck points out the often unfairness of life when he says, "Human beings can be awful cruel to one another".
