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.
