Scenario

        If Tom and Huck went to Anderson, Tom would be more popular because a lot of people would look up to him. He is considered to be cooler than Huck. Huck is a lot more like a normal kid than Tom is. Tom is more rebellious than Huck so more people would think he was radical and more fun to be around. Tom would go to a lot more party's while Huck would be more like the average kid. Tom is also impractical with his thinking though, so he picks wierd ways to deal with things. Tom would be able to manipulate people to his advantage while Huck would just be friendly. If Tom and Huck went to Anderson, Tom would be more popular.
