Huckleberry Finn Tom Sawyer

often change their beliefs and values depending on
the situation. I feel that this is because
children have such a small amount of personal
experience and knowledge. These two possessions
cannot be taught and must be acquired first-hand.
Knowledge allows people to make their own
decisions and have some idea of what the outcome
will be. Personal experience is, in not to
abstract a way, the same thing. ...
