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
