This song is basically saying that she has a very close friend and that if they need her then she will be there for them. JoJo said “if things don’t go your way; use my shoulder to lean on”. That shows that she is a very good friend.
I really like this song it has a very good meaning to it and the way she sings sets it off just right. This song relates to my life because I have many friends like that and I treat my friends just like that. I love my friends and this song shows exactly how I treat my friends.

Moral Dilemma in Huck Finn
In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck faces a number of moral dilemmas which reveal much about his character. Huck’s character seems like a good character. He has more knowledge and wisdom than most people his age and some older than him. He also has many moral dilemmas that he has to solve.
One moral dilemma that Huck faced was when the slave hunters asked him who was with him. Huck told the slave hunters that the only people with him were his family and that they were all white. This was after Huck said he was going to tell on Jim about being a runaway slave, and before Jim told Huck he was his best friend and the only friend he ever had. This made Huck feel really bad. That’s why he didn’t tell on Jim.
Huck made the right decision. Huck’ decision was the right one because Jim told Huck he was his best friend. Plus in the long run Jim helps out Huck more than he could imagine. Like when the Grangerford’s slaves found Jim, all Jim wanted was for Huck to be safe and he slept outside all those nights just to make sure he was. Also if Huck told on him, Jim would be very disappointed in Huck since he thought they were friends.
Some support that helps Huck’s decision was that in Chapter 18, Page 88, and Paragraph 2, Jim said, “Laws bless you, chile. I’uz right down sho’ you’s dead agin.”
That sentence shows that Jim loves Huck and really cares about him enough to worry about him and to care for him like he is his own child. If Huck would have told on Jim, Huck would be sick on the inside about what he did to his friend.
All in all, Huck has grown since the beginning of the book, especially with wisdom. The moral dilemmas that he faces are for those of higher age, but he takes them as he can and solves his problems the best way that he can. So his decision was a very good one.

Huck Finn Reader Response #3 (Ch.14- Ch.18)
Huck Finn Reader Response #3 (Ch.14- Ch.18)
What impresses Huck about the Grangerford’s house was that the house looked wealthy for a house on a farm. Huck once said, “I hadn’t seen no house out in the country before that was so nice and had so much style.” (Ch.17, Pg.75, Para.4) This says that Huck is happy and he successfully found a family that cared for him and that treated him better than Pap did.
The books in the house were mostly poetry written by Emmeline Grangerford. Huck thought that, “If Emmeline could write poetry like that at the age of fourteen, aint no telling what she could a done by-and-by.”(Ch.17, Pg.78, Para.6) Huck liked to read the books in the house. He thought they were interesting because since Emmeline was so young he thought it was cool for her to have so much wisdom. This says that Huck is very smart for his age that he understands Emmeline’s writings. This also says that Mark Twain was very educated.
What was unique about all the drawings, poems, and the scrapbook was that they were all mostly religious. Emmeline seemed to be obsessed with death. Huck said, “Every time a man died, or a woman died, or a child died, she would be on hand with her tribute before they were cold.” (Ch.17, Pg.78, Para.6) I think the significance of the painting of the girl on the edge of the bridge is to show that she has two choices either to kill herself or stay and live. The other set of arms, I think, was to show her praise to god. I think Twain describes this so specifically to stretch the meaning of the photo. I think he views death as something that just has to happen, and that he is not scared to die. I think he views suicide as not a good thing but still not a bad thing either, that it’s a choice that some people make. Twain has a very good sense of art. I can picture the photo in my mind and the picture just looks absolutely stunning, I think it’s beautiful. Huck is touched by Emmeline’s life and art because to be so young she has a grown up piece of mind and he admires that for her. Even though he hasn’t met her.
