Huck does not feel right about hiding Jim, but does not feel right about giving him up either. Ultimately, Huck hides Jim from the slave catchers by leading them to believe he is hiding his sick father with the smallpox under the tent.
Notice that Sarty has no real sense of his father's outrage. He sees his father's anger, but he cannot understand it or from where it comes. Sarty was not alive during or before the war, so his only frame of reference is his ten years in this sharecropping family. Sarty lives with his father, his mother, an aunt, two sisters, and a brother. Sarty is the only member of the family to truly act on his own conscience, and ultimately this separates him from the rest of the family.

The main disagreement that Bernice had with his brother about the piano was that she had remorse about it because it had family blood spilled all over it. This meant so much to her to lose it.

He was tired to be working for someone else, he rather buy the land and start a business he did not wanted to be like his father.
