Here she was a-bothering about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone, you see, yet finding a power of fault with me for doing a thing that had some good in it. And she took snuff, too; of course that was all right, because she done it herself. From this excerpt, we can tell that Huck is _____. Select all that apply. educated hypocritical observant youthful
