In chapter 32, Huck tells a lie to explain his late arrival. That lie is that he says the boat went aground, and that is the reason why he was late.
Studies show being isolated from others in solitude not only leads to depression but many other health factors. Regardless to what the studies show, I prefer companionship because it brings a different perspective/outlook to your life. They see things you may not see. They for the most part enjoy your company and take you serious. You can't laugh by yourself. I mean you could..but it's not the same...you know?
