Huckleberry Finn has a much different socioeconomic and parenting background than Tom Sawyer. As a result, their methods of reasoning are vastly different. Tom is what would be considered middle class and has been raised by his Aunt Polly to look at issues from all sides and come up with rational decisions well within the confines of the law and society. Huck, on the other hand, has more or less raised himself. His father is an abusive drunk, who leaves him alone for long stretches of time and Huckleberry is also very poor. As a result, Huck tends to act on impulse and emotion with little regard for possible consequences.
