Read the excerpt from Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and answer the question that follows:
Jim said it made him all over trembly and feverish to be so close to freedom. Well, I can tell you it made me all over trembly and feverish,
too, to hear him, because I begun to get it through my head that he WAS most free- and who was to blame for it? Why, ME. I couldn't get
that out of my conscience, no how nor no way. It got to troubling me so I couldn't rest; I wouldn't stay still in one place. It hadn't ever come
home to me before, what this thing was that I was doing. But now it did; and it staying with me, and scorched me more and more. I tried to
make out to myself that I warn't to blame, because I didn't run Jim off from his rightful owner, but it warn't no use, conscience up and says
every time, "But you knowed he was running for his freedom, and you could a paddled ashore and told somebody." That was so I couldn't
get around that noway. That was where it pinched. Conscience says to me, "What had poor Miss Watson done to you that you could see
her(slave) go off right under your eyes and never say one single word? What did that poor old woman do to you that you could treat hers
mean? Why she tried to learn you your book, she tried to learn you your manners, she tried to be good to you every way she knowed how
That's what she done."
