"set of moral rules, you have no claim on him. A child has a claim against it's parents by law. That's different." By Law Tom Sawyer was a criminal for taking his friend Jim with him on the raft up the river to the North. By the accompanied "Moral Authority" of the time he was also committing a sin. He was stealing the Widder Jenkin's property. He was betraying the trust of ms Jenkin's, who'd tried to help him and Huckleberry. He figured that he would surely end up in Hell for all of this. And yet there was something speaking to him that went against, the law, the moral authority of the day, societal standards, and what he would state himself as decent. What was that? Maybe that it just seemed like the "right" thing to do. Morality is a system of right and wrong that one person or a group may choose to base their principles of living on. Did Jim have a claim on Tom? I would say that he did. Was it legal? Was it according to societal standards? Was it in compliance with the accepted Moral Authority of the time? No, to all of the above. Was it the morally right thing to do? Most definitely.
