Chapter (6-11)
1. Explain why Pap has Huck locked up.
Pap is a drunk and doesn't like to see Huck doing good in life and being educated because pap never was and neither was his father. So when pap comes to town and finds out Huck has money he demands it from Huck. And when Huck refuses Pap takes him accouple miles up river to a log cabin and locks the door so Huck cant get out, And the only time Huck is out of the cabin is when Pap is with him.
2. Create a visual of how Huck escapes The Shanty.
3. In chapter 8 Huck and Jim run into each other. Huck says that people will call him a “low down Ablitionist and dispise me for keeping mum” in reference to Jim running away. Explain what it means to be an Abolitionist. Why is it Huck is concerned about being called one? You’ll have to consider both the time period and the setting of the novel to answer the question.
An abolitionist was someone who was for abolishing a practice, but during this time period, it was someone who was for abolishing slavery. Huck is most likely concerned about being called one because during this time period, slavery was a big thing that a lot of people practiced and being an abolitionist would have made Huck an outcast.
4. There are several things that give Huck away when he pretends to be a girl. List them. Then, come up with 3 things that would give a boy away and 3 things that would give a girl away (if the roles were reversed) in our modern times.
The things that gave Huck away were; he changed what his name was, he didn’t thread the needle correctly, and he clapped his legs together instead of spreading them when trying to catch the lump. In our times, 3 things that would give a boy away would be his voice, his body shape, and muscle mass. Three things that would give a girl away would be her body structure, nail polish, and if her voice is softer.

Chapter (17-21)
1. Describe the Grangerford family? (Chapters 17-18)
Huck woke up on the Grangerford's property getting questioned so he gave them a fake name. Buck, their son, who is the same age as Huck brought him inside. Huck was happy that he found them because they were very nice to feed and clothe him. He also learned that they had a daughter who passed away that loved to write.
2. Mark Twain alludes that the fued between the grangerford and shepherdsons about traditional fued between farmer (ganger) and rancher (Shepherd) why would he write this into the novel? What does it say about these two occupations at this time (Chapter 18)
Buck shoots a man and misses and Huck being confused asked why. Buck later explains that they've had a family feud against the gragerford aka farmer and the shepherd family, the ranchers for as long as 30 years to the point they don't even know why they are fighting anymore. The occupations the author is making about these two family feuds is how the farmers and ranchers could never decide who got which job since they are very similar which was a pretty big problem in the 1800s.
3. Toward the end of chapter 18 Huck says " I don't want to talk much about the next day. I reckon i will cut it pretty short. "Huck says this prior to telling us about the big battle. How does our narrators prespective play a role in what we think and feel reading (Chapter 18)
In chapter 18 Buck says, " I don't want to talk much about the next day. I reckon I'll cut it pretty short." When I read this the first thing come to mind was that something bad happened. Something had clearly upset him in someway. I had an assumption that someone was killed in the family feud battle and as I later read the assumption became true because Huck witnessed Buck lying dead which lead to him and Jim immediately leaving on a raft.
4. The King and Duke are con men. They were selling articles to get tartar off their teeth. They were being chased because the town wanted to tar and feather them for conning them for money. They were also pretending to be Harvey and William Walks in order get money froth family. Huck and Jim knew that they were run aways and were slightly supicitous about their lying but they wen along with their story anyways because they thought they would get along and knew there would be trouble if they didn't.

Chapters (22-26)
1. At the very end of chapter 22 we see the handbill that the king and the duke will pass out. The duke says "if that line don't fetch them, I don't know Arkansaw!" Will would the line at the bottom of the handbill work to get people into the play?
The line at the end of the handbill states "No Ladies and Children allowed", meaning the show will be full of men with their friends, who are trying to get away from their families and children for the night. This is because being seen as someone with responsibility, especially with being a man in this era, there are a lot of expectations for you.
2. Towards the end of chapter 23 we see this line "What was the use to tell Jim this warn real kings and dukes? It wouldn't a done no good and besides, it was just he said you couldn't tell them from from the real kind."
1. Why doesn't Huck see the use in telling Jim?
Huck didn't see the use in telling Jim because he was trying to protect him. He wanted Jim to stay on the same story as the King and Duke, and Huck didn't want to explain to Jim about Kings and Dukes since Jim doesn't know a lot about them
2. What does Huck mean by "you couldn't tell them from the real kind?
Since Jim is poorly educated due to him being a slave, he is not aware of how real Kings and Dukes act, so when Jim sees the King and the Duke pretending, he believes them easily. They put on a play for expensive tickets and did nearly nothing, and they still collected a ton of money, Jim would've been confused otherwise.
3. The final line in chapter 24 reads: "It was enough to make a body ashamed of the human race." What is Huck talking about? What does it tell us (the reader) about the Huck then he feels this way?
We see Huck has good morals here because the King and the Duke had scammed another town, by claiming they were the brothers of the deceased, Peter Wilks. Peter Wilks had passed down a massive fortune to his brothers, which the King and Duke posed as. They also pretended Huck and Jim were servanys to make their act seem more believable.
4. In chapter 25 we meet the doctor. How does the doctor know that the king and the duke are fraud?
The doctor knows the King and Dukes are fake because when the King gave a speech to the town, he had faked a poor British Accent, and the doctor had knew it was faked. He said it wa the worst British accent, especially compared to Peter Wilks.
5. The king and the duke consider leaving in the middle of the night with the money ( Chapter 16). Why don't they?
The King and the Duke don't leave because they want more money. They want to sell the land and slaves to make more than $6,000, but Huck doesn't want this to happen so he takes the $6,000 and sneaks out with it before anyone could see him.

Chapters (27-30)
1. Why did people stay up with the dead during this time period? (Chapter 27)
Many people would stay with the dead to ensure that nor rodents or insects would get to it, and overall keeping the corpse safe in general. However a bigger reason was tradition. Staying with the body kept you closer to the spirit, and since religion was so huge during this time, people would often perform rituals or bless the body to help the journey to heaven be easier. They didn't want the spirit to be alone, and they didn't want them to have any trouble reaching the better place they were headed.
2. What do we learn (or reaffirm) about Huck when he tells Miss Mary Jane the slaves will see their family again in inside of two weeks? (Chapter 28)
Throughout the book we have seen Huck get more and more empathetic, and in this moment we learn that he is truly a very caring person. Unlike most people at the time, race didn't matter to Huck, he wanted to help everyone. So, when he saw how hurt Miss Mary Jane was about the family, he wanted to help somehow. So, he told her the truth that the family would be reunited soon. Huck went from wearing a brave, inconsiderate mask to hide his big, caring heart; to embracing it.
3. What were the two methods the townspeople used to try to identify who the brothers were and who the frauds were? (Chapters 29)
The King, the Duke, and the two brothers were called into a meeting with a lawyer. First, the lawyer had all four men sign a paper so the handwriting could be compared to that of the letters. The King made up a lie to get himself out of the clear fail. Secondly, Harvey (the real brother) brings up that his brother had a tattoo on his chest which then brings up following questions about the tattoo, which would be confirmed by the undertaker to see who was fake.

Chapters (31-35)
1. You can't pray a lie.
Jim had been captured due to reward flyers, and would now be returning to slavery. He wanted to write to Miss Watson and tell her where Jim was, however that would prove that Huck was an accomplice to a slave's escape. He began to pray that Jim would find Miss Watson, but he was praying for something that he didn't completely want to happen, therefore 'praying for a lie.' He also began to pray about not doing any more bad deeds, but again, he knew this wasn't entirely true. In the end, Huck is saying that you cant pray about something unless every part of heart wants it, if you have even the slightest thought against this prayer, it doesn't qualify and isn't worth the prayer.
2. Huck tears up during his letter.
Huck was initially going to write a letter to Tom Sawyer, so Tom could tell Miss Watson of the details on Jim. But, no matter who Huck wrote to or what he said, Jim AND Huck would end up in a lose lose situation. Miss Watson would simply sell Jim, or the story of Huck helping a slave to escape to freedom would get out to the public. Jim and Huck had been through a lot together. They grew extremely close and bonded more than anyone would have ever thought. Thinking about Jim's good heart, their friendship, and how mich better Jim truly deserved; brought Huck to not only tears, but a final decision that he would steal Jim back from slavery.
3.Huck is disappointed in Tom
I think that Huck being disappointed in Tom Sawyer is very hypocritical, because Huck asked Tom for a help and is lucky that Tom would be willing to help him. By calling Tom a bad person he is caling himself a bad person.
4.Huck says 2 things at the end of chapter 33
Huck means that humans will go to great lengths to provide for themselves, they will do horrible things to get to the top, even if it means hurting someone else in some way. When he speaks about the conscience, he talks about how no matter what you do your conscience always finds a way to make you feel some way. When the con men are being punished, Huck still feels bad for them, because his conscience allows him to put himself in their shoes and see that they were just trying to make a living and chose the wrong path.
5.The Escape Plan
Huck came up with a simple way to get Jim out of the shed, but Tom decided that they needed more style points. They needed to look good if they were going to go through with this. So, Tom came up with a complicated but stylish plan. Huck thought that it was easily worth 15 of his own plan if they judged by style.

4.We’ve worked a great deal on this novel’s satirical elements. How is the planning and plotting of Jim’s escape by Tom and Huck satire?

Chapters (41-end)
1. Towards the end of chapter 41: “And then when I went up to bed, she come up with me, and fetched her candle, and tucked me in, and mothered me so good I felt mean and like I couldn’t look her in the face”. Why does Huck feel this way?
At this point of the chapter a sit starts to wrap up, Huck runs into Uncle Silas while town as he is finding the doctor for Tom after he was shot in the calf. Uncle Silas takes him back to the house and Huck makes up a story as to why Tom and Huck had been gone. When Huck told Aunt Sally he was going to bed she ends up following him and tucks him in as if she was his mother. Huck grows guilty and couldn't look her in her eyes because he knew that Tom was stuck in pain and in danger while he was sleeping in a bed. I also think comes to feel this way because he knows how much he lied about Jim and everything that had happened and could tell that at the end of the day he was causing more pain towards the family rather than good doings.
2. In chapter 42 we hear the doctor’s account of his experience treating Tom: “so I says, I got have help, somehow; and the minute I says it, out crawls this nigger from somewhere, and says he’ll help; and he done it too, and done it very well.” Can we come to an understanding about Jim from this? What do we learn about him?
In this part of the book, Aunt Sally sees Tom being carried on a mattress with the help of a doctor, and a tied up runaway slave(Jim). Aunt Sally presumes that Tom is dead, but he eventually woke up. The Doctor explains to them what happened. He says: "When I got to the boy, I saw that I couldn’t cut the bullet out without some help, and the boy wasn’t in any condition for me to just leave him to get help.
3. What do we learn about Tom from what he says when he wakes up after being treated for the gunshot wound (Chapter 42)?
