Wolfe CP English 9 B

An example of satire in the novel was on page 89: “Oh, well, that’s all interpreted well enough, as far as it goes, Jim,” I says:” but what do these stand for? What Huck was talking about were the leaves that Jim kept while huck went missing, they were a superstition that helped him find Huck. But Huck here is making fun of Jim for bringing along the leaves.

One passage for good discussion is on pages 110-111: “Well, says Buck,”a fued is this way. A man has a quarrel with another man, and kills him; then that other man’s brother kills him; then the other brothers, on both sides, goes for one another; then the cousins chip in- and by-and-by everybody’s killed off, and there ain’t no more feud. But it’s kind of slow, and takes a long time.” This passage is explaining the feud that is going on between Shephersons and the Grangerfords. This is also one of the plots from the play Romeo and Juliet. This is showing how Mark Twain can use other stories to come up with new ideas for his stories. But a question is that will this feud cause problems for Huck on his journey.

To answer a question: Was Mark Twain well educated? The answer was that he was well educated, but had to quit school. When Mark Twain was young, he lived in Missouri. His father was a judge, but died at the age of 49, Mark Twain had to quit school to support his family, since his dad was the one making most of the money in the family. He actually made to the 5th grade(he must have known to write and read), but then took a job of working for a paper company as a journeyman printer. But when you are a famous author being mentioned almost 2 centuries and have many best-selling books, it must be important to not skip elementary school.

One discussion is: How long will it take until Huck and Jim are caught?
The second discussion is: What will be the biggest challenge for Huck and Jim in their adventure for survival.

3: One passage is on page 53: “It’s adead man. Yes, indeed; naked,too. He’s been shotin de back. I reck’n he’s ben dead two er three days. Come in, Huck, but doan’ look at his face- it’s too gashly.” This is describing on how much Jim is caring about Huck. Another passage is on page 45:”Blamed if i would , Jim. Well, I b’lieve you, Huck. I-I run off.” This is telling the dangers Jim is facing of running off. Lastly, another passage is on page 65: “Git up and hump yourself, Jim! There ain’t a minute to lose. They’re after us!” This is showing how much Huck is caring for Jim and not just including him that’s being chased.

2: On pages 9-10, Huck explains,”Everybody said it was a real beautiful oath, and asked Tom if he got it out of his own head. he said, some of it, but the rest was out of pirate book, and robber books, and every gang that was high-toned had it.” Here Huck is telling how intelligent and interesting Tom can be

1: For the misunderstanding of religion theme, it is misunderstood because on page 4, Huck says,”When you got to the table you couldn’t go right to eating, but you had to wait for the widow to tuck her head and grumble a little over victuals, though there warn’t really anything the matter with them. This reveals that Huck is confused about religion and doesn’t understand it. Also, Huck doesn’t enjoy the praying because the way he explains praying was not the nicest way to explain it.
