One would say that life on a raft would be more solitary then that of life in a town. In a city or town there are many people and buildings and a person usually feels apart of the society. On a raft, one would feel rather lonely and confined to the boundaries of the raft. Huck however feels as though he can do whatever he pleases without someone telling him what to do constantly. He thinks of it differently because he was brought up differently. He was always being told what to do and corrected until his early adolescent days.
