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.
