Tear Jerker / Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

• Jim's "what is trash" speech.
• Huck spying Jim sobbing about his lost wife and children. It's at this moment Huck realizes Jim is a real human being with the same feelings as any white person.
  When I waked up just at daybreak he was sitting there with his head down betwixt his knees, moaning and mourning to himself. I didn’t take notice nor let on. I knowed what it was about. He was thinking about his wife and his children, away up yonder, and he was low and homesick; because he hadn’t ever been away from home before in his life; and I do believe he cared just as much for his people as white folks does for their’n. It don’t seem natural, but I reckon it’s so. He was often moaning and mourning that way nights, when he judged I was asleep, and saying, “Po’ little ’Lizabeth! po’ little Johnny! it’s mighty hard; I spec’ I ain’t ever gwyne to see you no mo’, no mo’!”
• Shortly after the Duke and King show up, Jim tells Huck a story about him realizing his daughter Elizabeth has become dumb and deaf from scarlet fever. It becomes worse when Jim realizes that he's been beating her for not doing as she was told, when all along she couldn't hear what anyone said to her. He starts crying out to the Lord for mercy and forgiveness while hugging her.
  "Oh, de Lord God Almighty! Please forgive ol' Jim, 'cause he ain't never gonna forgive himself!"
• As much as they deserved it, it's not hard to agree with Huck that seeing the Duke and King being Tarred And Feathered was a sad end to their criminal life.
