Huck doesn't get along with Widow Douglas and Miss Watson because they make him pray and be religious, be clean (bathe), dress nicely, and comb his hair. Huck is not used to being this way and he would most likely prefer to be allowed to do whatever he wants whenever he wants like most kids nowadays.
