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-
