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.
