I would, first, decide what you think the answer to the question is, and then use evidence from the book itself to support your opinion.
Huck himself has a very unique thinking pattern; he takes in what society teaches him, and then forms his own opinion on the matter, an opinion that works for him, based on his experiences and perceptions of the world. Huck is a completely original take on many of the issues of the time, and Twain often writes out Huck's entire thought process that leads to his final conclusion, so there are a lot of great examples of "pure thinking" occuring because of Huck thinking things out on his own. Look for examples of this towards the beginning when he processes prayer, later with his father, and throughout the entire book as he ponders what is right and wrong in regards to slavery and helping Jim.
