Huck Finn Reader Response #3 (Ch.14-Ch.18)
Huck says (Ch. 17, Pg. 75, Par. 4) “It was a mighty nice family, and a mighty nice house, too. I hadn’t seen no house out in the country before that was so nice and had so much style” shows that he was impressed because he had never seen a house that nice out in the country. This shows that Huck likes the view and felling of success by the way he keeps talking about all of the nice, expensive things that they have in there house.
What was special about the books was that they were all piled up perfectly exact. Huck was interested in them because they were books of pictures and interesting journeys and fact that he did not know. This shows that Huck cares about education and likes to learn I think if he didn’t he would not be even trying to go to that school are talking about all of the interesting things that he had learned. This also shows that Twain cares about his education and likes to learn also.
All of the drawings and poems and the scrapbook are unique because all of them were sad, dark, and showed a story of battles or death. The girl seems to be obsessed with death because she has obituaries and accidents all in her scrapbook. I think the point of the picture of the girl with 6 arms was for the person viewing the art to decide which on they liked best. I also think that Twain is in like of art and death be the way that he describes the details of the painting. Huck is touched by the girl’s life and art and thinks it is nice and also sad but he does not seem to take on to them.

Huck Finn Essay Exam (1-23)
In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck faces a number of moral dilemmas, some hard and some easy. He has to know how to think when such things come up. He always figures something out at the end.
There are many dilemmas Huck faces such as when he had to save Jim from the slave hunters. This shows that Huck is a caring person because he did not have to save Jim from the slave hunters if he did not want to. Huck also has to go through a lot of dilemmas easier and harder than this one, so he has to think fast and figure out what he will do when he gets stuck in a situation like this one.
I think that Huck is a loving and caring person that gets stuck in situations that make him do stupid things and that saving Jim was a good decision. I think that Huck would be wrong and dumb to not save Jim because Jim is his friend and he would most likely be lonely and scared after a while all by his self with no one to talk to.
Jim is always with Huck and sometimes gets Huck out of danger when he starts to go on adventures with Tom. If Huck did not have Jim he could be dead or even lost out in the middle of nowhere with no way to get back in contact with or to get back at home. I think that Jim just keeps Huck out of trouble and is a person you can talk to when you need help or just want to get something out of your system.
In conclusion I think that Huck just has to go through a lot of dilemmas and he handles them well to easily go through life.

Racism
"Oh yes it was a wonderful govment, wonderful. Why looky here. There was a free n there, from Ohio; a mulatter,Most as white as a white man. He had the whitest shirt on you ever see, too, and the shiniest hat.....they said he was a p'fessor in a college, and could talk all kinds of languages, and knowed everything.....They said he could vote, when he was at home.....I says I'll never vote again.....why ain't this n put up for auction and sold.....they said he couldn't be sold till he'd been in the state for six months. and he hadn't been there that ling yet.
(Chapter. 6, p.20, Par. 12)
There was a free n from Ohio, he was clean and had jewelry. They say he was smart to, and was a professor in a college. They say he couldn't be sold into slavery intil he was in the states for 6 months, and worst of all he could vote, i would never vote again as long as i live.
I think that this is racism because he is talking about all the things he can do that they let the free n do. He even said he would never vote again as long as he lived. I have had racism happen to me and my family before. Once we were at home depot and when we came out we heard someone yelling "stupid" and they we where trying to figure out what was wrong so we stopped and the man got in the car and yelled "stupid n" and drove off in the car.
I think that Mark Twain was not being racist. I think he was just getting a point across about how some parents are bad influences and just don care about there selves and there gold.
He probably was just showing how a lot of people are racist and will stop doing something just because someone of the different race is doing something that they usually can not do, and they fell that they are the top race over everyone else.
