Questions XXVIII- XXX

1.) He made the funeral cheesy and a joke. No the criticism was probably not justified, but I'm sure he meant to make fun of the funeral and the ceremony and people didn't like it so they made fun of him.

2.) If he tells the truth to Mary Jane, he will make it out safe and the king and duke will be caught and put in jail.

3.) He lies to stay safe, not for the money.

4.) Its to show that Huck is beginning to see Jim as a person who he cares about and who cares about him.

5.)He isn't quick or smart. He wants to know what going on and watch the action.

6.) Huck likes Mary Jane and he tells her to leave becasue he doesn't want her to give it away that the king and duke aren't her uncles and they might get away with her money.

7.) It enforces the theme of gulliablity and the ignorance of people because it is pretty odvious that the king and duke are not englishmen.

8.) Rationality.

9.)I believe he keeps them as villians. He will use them as dramatic foils to Huck. They have gotten away from their tricks before, like when Huck first met them, and they hadn't changed from that, so why would they change this time.

Dicussion 24- 27

1.) Clothes stand for changing who you are, or being someone else.

2.)The people in both towns are close together, and it is a small town. The people are all gullibale. Huck starts to feel bad for the people he is conning and realizes how what he is doing is wrong. He meets the girls they are conning and he feels bad because he really like Mary Jane.

3.) They have never met their uncles, the towns people believe it, and they are innocent.

4.) Joanna is treated less, eating in the kitchen where the servants eat. Joanna got here nickname, harelip, because she has a cleft lip. I believe that because of Joanna's harelip, people didn't want to look at her because she didn't look "normal" so they stuck her in the kitchen to eat, which is where the servants eat. This plays along with the theme of a corrupt society and everyone being the same, those that are different are less. Another theme that comes out in this chapter is appearance vs reality, and the role of a woman.

5.) People will believe people they hardly know and will disregard their friends because they don't want to be wrong and look like a fool.

6.) Huck now tries to stop the king and duke because he doesn't want to steal from the girls. The theme that comes out is coming of age.

Chapter 25

Summary- The king and duke fooled the people into thinking that they were really the girl’s uncles and even after the doctor said they were frauds no one believed him.
I think the girls should have listened to the doctor, because even though everybody thought that the king and duke were the girl’s uncles they knew the doctor a whole lot better.

Connect to larger theme and explain- This chapter is connected to the theme of gullibility because the Duke and King are playing on the towns gullibility and getting the stuff that George left behind.

Pick out symbol- Coffin the duke and kings life are going to change because of this mans death.

Disscusion questions 21-23

1.) I believe Huck doesn't participate becasue it is not hos style but more important it is not the sort of adventure that Tom Sawyer would do.

2.)The Southern Myth Twain satirizes in the Sherburn incident is challenging someone when they have riduculed you or your name. It was a show for all of those who are able to watch. People like to be where there is action and watch the show. People get entertainment out of other people getting hurt.

3.)The circus and the duke and kings enterainments are both jokes and the duke and king are like clowns. Twain in making fun of romantic literature, show that it is a joke.

4.) It shows that Huck doesn't get jokes. Huck thinks the ring master is the most deceived.

5.) Twain is implying that if people think it is ment only for men they will all come because it has to be bad because only men are allowed, no children or women.

6.) He was implying that the duke and king are nothing like a real king or duke.

7.) It's starting to show us how Huck is starting yo see Jim as a person and getting to know him.

8.) Episode 1: (Chapters 1- 4) Huck is living with the Widow Douglas, who is teaching him about region and having go to school. Tom Sawyer starts a gang who says there are gonna steal for passing wagons. Tom plays a trick on Jim. Huck is in Tom's gang for a little while but nothing really comes of it and he quits. Huck realizes his dad is back and gives all the money to Judge Thatcher. This episode ends with huck's dad in his room. Huck goes to Jim for advice or a prophet and Jim really doesn't tell him anything important. ends by Pa showing up.

Episode 2: (5- 7) Pa gives Huck a hard time for being eduated and tells him to stop going to school or he'll whip him. Then he questions Huck about the money and Huck says he doesn't have it. Pa says he will get it from Judge Tatcher cause it's his. Then he goes to the Judge and demands for the money. The judge decided he wanted custody of Huck and go to the law. Well there is a new Judge in town who doesn't want to break up a son and dad. Pa then plays off the judge's Gullibilty, saying he would quit drink and is a changed man. The judge gives him a room and new clothes, pa gets drunk and the judge gives up on him. So Pa tries to get the money again, and he also kidnaps Huck. Well they live in a cabin and Pa is careful not to leave anything Huck could use to escape. Huck eventually finds a saw and starts sawing through the floor everytime Pa leaves. One night Pa comes back really drunk and tries to kill Huck. The next day, Huck finds some logs and Pa takes them to the town to sell them.

Huck discussion questions 15-20

1.) It is a foreshadow of what will happen later on in the story, and it enforces the theme of superstition as a method of explaining and understanding things.

2.) It show the corruptness of society and how black people were not considered people. Huck feels bad and realizes tricks aren't always fun.

3.) This series of quotes show us how Huck's brain has been manipulated by a corrupt society. It is Huck debating between what is right and what is wrong. He has a hard time deciding because he likes Jim but because of where he was raised, he thinks of black people has property, not people. These quotes go along with the theme of the conflict between emotional and the rational, The coming of age, but mainly the conflict between the individual and society.

4.) They give Huck money because they feel sorry for Huck and that they can't help him. It's ironic because you'd expect the bounty hunters to be mean and uncaring individuals because they are hunting for black people, which is another person.

5.) The break of Huck from his thoughts of turning Jim in and being held back because he was raised in a corrupt society. (I'm not quiet positive on this one and I couldn't find the quote in the book.)

6.) Twain didn't like where he was going with Huckleberry Finn and didn't know where the book was going, or what the major themes were, so he quite writing it until he got some sort of inspiration and picks the book back up to continue writing it.

7.) There house it neat, well keep, and you can tell the are one of the richer families in town. With all of the stuff Huck tells us is in the Grangerford's house, it makes me think they believe in a romantic way.

8.) I can't really find much on Huck playing with Buck's gullibility except for, when Huck has forgotten what the name he gave himself was and asks Buck to spell it. We see the themes Coming of age, the conflict between emotional and the rational, the conflict between the individual and society. Mostly coming from Huck deciding whether to turn Jim in or not. Death and rebirth is also a theme the reappears in chapter 17 with the poetry. also the concept of family and sticking together, always backing each other up.

9.) That Huck doesn't get jokes and only believes in a realistic way.

10.) Religion is a joke, and worthless. The men have guns in church and the hogs live there, people just go to church because it is what society thinks is the right thing to do.

11.) The feud symbolizes the corrupt society and their ignorance, not really knowing what they are fighting for. It also symbolizes romantic notions society is built upon, one of the reason you so many references the to revolutionary war in the house hold. It is also why Huck describes Colonel Grangerford as a gentleman The feud reminds me of the feud in Romeo and Juliet. I believe Twain was showing us that people fight just to fight with no real reason. The feud also shows how a family will back each other up even if it is putting there own life in danger.

12.) The raft is much smaller than most any home. The theme it follows is freedom, because on the raft they are free.

13.) The clothes in a way represent society, but they mainly symbolize lack of freedom, restriction. When Jim and Huck are Free they don't wear clothes, when they are with society, they wear clothing.

14.) Huck doesn't expose the Duke and the King as frauds because he doesn't want to create any trouble on the raft, and it didn't really matter to tell Jim or not so Huck just didn't.

15.) I believe Huck is. Both the King and Duke are running away because they have both been caught. Huck has not been caught in his actions yet. Huck also realizes he shouldn't that the Duke and King are frauds in order to keep everyone happy and not have any trouble.

16.) The old man is playing Juliet, the Duke says no one will notice because he will be in costume but I don't think the costumes the Duke has and disguise an old man as a young gal. Romeo and Juliet are a motif that enforce romanticism which Twain is trying to make fun of all the time.

17.) The pirate says that because of this town, he says how he is happy even though he is poor. He is playing on the towns gullibility. The pirate is there to show how blind some people are. It also plays on the theme of emotional vs Rational because Twain believes religious people are more emotional.

18.) Society is gullible and will believe anything is they get fame from it. I believe this mainly from the "Kings" work, and they way everyone believed him because he said it was because of them and he would tell everyone about this town.

Chapter 15- 16

Chapter 15- Lost in the Fog
The fog symbolizes society and how they have but a fog over everyone's eyes escpecially Huck but then he comes out and realizes Jim is a person.

Prank #3- Huck tries to trick Jim into believing Jim has dreamt the entire episode. Jim tells Huck that his actions are trash. Huck, after so thought, apologies to Jim. (Hucks 1st Change)

Theme: comflict between individual/ Society; Coming of Age

Symbol: Fog, Islands, Towhead, the idea of being lost

Chapter 16- Juxaposition/15
Theme: Huck's deformed conscious
They are looking for Ciaro- Huck decides to got o town and ask How far, and also he is debating whether "Should I turn Jim in." When he is going a shore with a made up mind to turn Jim in he runs into two Slave hunters looking five runaway slaves.

Persona #4- piqures novel, Witty story about father and family being sick. To get out from. being caught. They give them forty dollars

Shows- the Slave hunters are not that bad of people, they want to help the family so they give them money, but the slave hunters are still products of society. Enforces that racism is owned by the society, society instatutse it.

Jim is either very sincere or worried Huck will tell on him

Find out that they missed Ciaro in the Fog, so they will probably have to take a steamboat and their boat was crushed by a paddle boat.
--------------------------
The river ( Episode #4 12- 16 we just got finished with)
Hucks relationship with Jim
Pretty safe and relaxed compared to the rest of the story, only time they are by themselves.

from 15 to 16 there is a change in the tone of the story.
--------------------------
chapter 17- Episode 5, THE FEUD
Satire *the Romantice notion of feuds

Allusion to Romo and Juliet, Romantic ideas of love and romantic idea of a feud
Dual because your honor has been insulted by the other person, only in the rich class
Romantic notion of duels in being made fun of

Discussion Questions: XII -XIV

1.) Huck believes borrowing is not stealing as long a you intend to pay it back at some point.

2.) It tells us Huck wants to be like Tom.

3.)Walter Scott is a famous romantic writer. Naming the boat The Walter Scott and the boat is sinking, is showing romantic writing sinking and dying. Also, Huck goes on the boat for adventure, and he finds it but relife adventure is much different than romantic adventure.

4.) Huck tried to save the murders because he feels bad for the murders because he wouldn't want to be in a situation like that, and he didn't want to become a murder himself.

5.) He is playing on the boatman's greed and pays attention to when the boatman mentions a rich persons name and with saying the person who is stranded on the boat is related to the rich man, he is able to enlist the boatman's help.

6.)He felt this way because he figured anyway he was goning to get of the Walter Scott he would either drown or be caught and returned as a slave.

7.)He is not very accurate about the dukes and kings because he thinks of them in a romantic way.

8.) Jim doesn't know the actual story or understand the story about Solomon, he just sees a man who lives in the middle of bickering wives, has a lot of kids, and wants to split one in half. Jim doesn't like it and thinks Solomon is not very wise. Slaves can't be taught how to argue is what Huck states even though Jim was arguing and made good points. Jim and Huck both don't fully understand so they can't agree.

chapter 11

Summary: Huck talks to Judith Loftus about Huck's murder.

Persona #1 Sarah- Mary- Williams
There is a reason that Pap might have killed Huck, but there is no reason for Jim (enforces rascim) $300 dollar reward for Jim, $200 for Pap: this is all satire and reinforces of a corrupt society)
Pap was the one in the house floating down the river (freedom)
In all of Huck stories his parents are dead or sick (plays on the gulibility of people, wanting to help someone young)
Themes: Freedom, Racism, Gullibility of people
Symbol: the rewards for Jim and Pap, Huck as a girl, raft
Motifs: personas or the invention of personas
Ends episode 3
---------------------------

Huck Discussion Questions: V-XI

1.) Pap is telling Huck he cannot go to school anymore and if he, Pap, sees Huck around school, He'll beat him. This is a situational Irony because you would expect a dad to be happy that his son is going to school and getting and education that he himself never got, but Pap dpesn't like it one bit.

2.) Society believes the kin should not be seperated, even if the father was not suitable. This is one of the flaws of society during this time period.

3.) Huck prefers to stay at the Shanty because he likes to live wild and not dress nice. He likes to have more freedom and living in the shanty, in away he does, because he doesn't have to go to school or have any type of lessons, and for the most part he looks after himself. He also has to stay because his Pa locks him in, like something he owns, which goes along woth the theme of dehuminization.

4.) Mark Twain is saying that just because a person is white, doesn't mean they are in anyway better than a black person.
~Pa and everyone else believe they are better then that black man because they are white, even thought they have done nothing in there life to better themselves like the black man in the story had done.

5.) The escape- Freedom, finding Jim- Coming of age, and the conflict between the individual and society.

6.) Tom thinks in a romantic way and wants adventure, and while Huck like adventure as well, at that time, all he wanted to do was escape. So if Tom had been there, he might have over done the scene making it unconvincing.

7.) This bread was sent out to find a dead body because it was a superstition people believed in. The funny thing is, is that the bread actually found Huck. Once the bread found Huck he decided that praying must work for some people becasue the widow probably prayed for the bread to find Huck, and it did.

8.)At first, Jim is frightened of Huck because he thinks that Huck is a ghost, but once Huck explains what happened to him, Jim is okay and glad to see him.

9.) It is a physical and spiritual rebrith: Spiritual because Huck is now free and starting a new life on the river; Physical rebirth for to Jim: Jim thought Huck was dead, and now he is back.

10.) Jim is a person, but to Huck, he is property. It shows that Huck views Jim as someone's property still. which is also Huck resulting conflict in his mind, to Huck, Jim is property and running away is like stealing, but he promised Jim he would not tell.

11.) Much of what Jim says will happen, does come true. When he predicted bad luck will happen, the rattlesnake bite him. When he said it would rain, it did. This characteristic of Jim also goes along witht eh motif of superstition.

12.) After Huck kills a rattlesnake, he hides it in Jim's bed to scare him. Yes I think it is typical of Huck's character, he is a boy, got bored and didn't think anything bad would come of it. In the end, he learned that when you kill a snake, its matecomes and wraps around its dead mate.

13.) He is very witty and can make up a story on the spot, he also doesn't know how to act like a girl. Cares about the safety of Jim.

14.)The common human trait that emerges it our problem with over exagaration about things, Judith said Huck and Tom found 20 thousand dollars but really it was only 12 thousand dollars.

15.) Jim's reward is $300 while Pa's is only $200, They believe Jim was the one who killed Huck only because he happened to leave the night of the murder. He had no reason and they really only believed it was Jim instead of Pa because he was a runaway black slave. Pa on the other hand had a reason to kill Huck and that ishe would be able to get the money quicker.

Tricks on Jim

Tom hanging Jims hat above him while he is sleeping
Huck puts a dead snake in Jims bed to scare him
Huck tries to make Jim think he dreamed Him and Huck getting seperated.

Note on chapter 9/10

Earlier chapter- Pa is reborn, chapter 3/4

Episode 3- Jackson Island

Chap 9- Find a Cave and move all of their stuff up to it. Find a house float down the river and on the inside, there is a dead man (Theme of Death) (Fits the theme of superstition in the way of explaining things. Chicken/birds, rains). Fits the theme of freedom because the island itself is on the Mississippi.
Important- Dead man, that fact the the river is over flowing, Foreshadow of something, Dead man is a symbol of death and rebirth, Dead man- Pa?

Chap 10- Bad luck handing a snakeskin and something bad with happen, then Huck kills a snake, Plays the second trick on Jim be putting the snake in Jims bed to scare him. The snakes mate comes and bites Jim,- Huck is a lot younger than Jim, and it is a little disrespectful- Snakeskin and the Snake are symbols, Old Hank Bunker( backs up superstition, Satire- Drinking/ what drinking can do to you). End, Huck went over to the village as a girl (First real persona). Mark Twain makes fun of Alchol a lot in this book.
See Jim as an Adult in his reaction to get rid of the pain
Important-
