Huckleberry finn help?

Mark Twain had some very strong opinions about people of "good breeding," i.e. those who had money and/or high social status and about people who were "not civilized," i.e. those without much education or social status. Mr. Twain questioned whether social status was truly based on the qualities that made a person worthwhile. You are being asked to use the HF book to find examples of those of "good breeding" who weren't truly good people and those who "weren't civilized" but were actually very nice people. Then you use these examples to explain what Mark Twain wanted his readers to see -- that social status isn't based on good character and so isn't as important as some people think it to be.
