Huck was able to go to school, see his friends, and sneak out when he lived with Widow Douglas.  However, Widow Douglas had rules for Huck to follow.  Huck had to wear nice clothes, not swear, and not smoke.  When Pap kidnapped Huck, Huck was able to smoke and swear at the cabin.  On the other hand, Huck was not allowed to leave the cabin for any reason.  Huck's living situations traded freedoms.  He traded structure for no rules, and he traded the ability to leave for being trapped.
