Because many recovering alcoholics return to alcoholism once their dreams are crushed, Charlie drinking responsibly suggests that he is looking ahead to the future. Yet the diction and the tone show that Charlie truly has given up on his dreams for the future.

But I never said nothing, never let on; kept it to my self; it’s the best way; then you don’t have no quarrels, and don’t get into no trouble. . . If I never learnt nothing else out of pap, I lernt that the best way to get long with his kind of people is to let them have their own way (158).” Huck’s father, “pap,” believes strongly in the way he was raised with and thinks Huck should too.
I am a body without intellect; I have no impact on the world. I shouldn’t have to live anymore. What if we did hang ourselves? Our deaths wouldn’t cause any harm to anyone but ourselves, tis rather a selfish thing to do really, but no one would miss us. By now we have probably been forgotten, perhaps a distant memory... or maybe not even one at all...
'The Tell Tale Heart' is a story about a man who killed an old man just because he didn't like the way his eyes looked like.

Who needs alcohol when you have friends and can do other cool things then drink?” “Honestly I think unless a responsible person is with them it’s not ok but if there is they whatever let them drink.” As you can see most of my friends think that underage drinking is non-sense and that you shouldn’t do it.
