Which is NOT an example of superstition in this section of the novel (Chapter 8-16)? *

Cows moaning while someone was shaking a tablecloth out was a sign of death.

What does dismal mean? Use the sentence as well as your knowledge gained from the novel's characters: "The Widow Douglas, she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; so when I couldn't stand it no longer, I lit out."

Dreadfully

What does Huck think about religion--specifically the good place, the bad place?

He wants to go the "bad place" because the "good place" would be boring.

In the following passage, how is Huck's response to Jim's plans to steal his own children after he reaches freedom ironic?: "Jim talked out loud all the time while I was talking to myself. He was saying how the first thing he would do when he got to a free State he would go to saving up money and never spend a single cent, and when he got enough he would buy his wife, which was owned on a farm close to where Miss Watson lived; and then they would both work to buy the two children, and if their master wouldn't sell them, they'd get an Ab'litionist to go and steal them. It most froze me to hear such talk. He wouldn't ever dared to talk such talk in his life before. Just see what a difference it made in him the minute he judged he was about free. It was according to the old saying, "Give a ****** an inch and he'll take an ell." Thinks I, this is what comes of my not thinking. Here was this ******, which I had as good as helped to run away, coming right out flat-footed and saying he would steal his children—children that belonged to a man I didn't even know; a man that hadn't ever done me no harm. I was sorry to hear Jim say that, it was such a lowering of him. My conscience got to stirring me up hotter than ever, until at last I says to it, "Let up on me—it ain't too late yet—I'll paddle ashore at the first light and tell." I felt easy and happy and light as a feather right off. All my troubles was gone. I went to looking out sharp for a light, and sort of singing to myself. By and by one showed."

His reaction is ironic because he is more worried about the man that owned Jim's children than he is about Jim and his children being together as a family.

Why does Huck give his money to Judge Thatcher?

Huck didn't want to have to give it to Pap

How does Huck send help to the Walter Scott?

Huck goes ashore and tells a watchman that his family and a member of a prominent local family are on board the wreck

Based on the context of Chapter 16 and analyzing dialect by Twain with a deeper meaning, review the dialogue spoken and decide what impact this has on the theme at this point in the story: Jim says, "Pooty soon I'll be a-shout'n for joy, en I'll say, it's all on accounts of o'Huck; I's a free man, en I couldn't ever ben free ef it hadn' ben for Huck; Huck done it. Jim won't ever forgit you, Huck; you's de bes fren' Jim's ever had; en you's de only fren' ole Jim's got now."

Huck is appearing hypocritical by false hope of their strong friendship. Jim is communicating a strong commitment to family to keep Huck loyal to him.

Based on the following passage from Chapter 8 and the context leading up to this quote what can be concluded about Huck's behavior: " When I got to camp I warn't feeling very brash, there warn't much sand in my craw; but I says, this aint no time to be fooling around. So I got all my traps into my canoe again so as to have them out of sight, and I put out the fire and scattered the ashes around to look like an old last year's camp, and then climb a tree."

Huck realizes someone else is actually on the island with him and he has decided to investigate who else is on Jackson island once and for all

In Chapter 13, since Jim and Huck stole the skiff from the wrecked steamboat, Walter Scott, what moral dilemma faces Huck before continuing his journey? *

Huck struggles with his conscience when he realizes Bill and Packard are now left without an escape off the Walter Scott and he needs to tell someone to rescue them even though they are murderers.

Which is not an example of superstition in this section of the novel (Chapter 1-6)?

Huck walked under a ladder

How does Huck's upbringing cause a moral dilemma in Chapter 16 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn based on the following passage: Huck says, "Conscience says to me, 'What had poor Miss Watson done to you, that you could see her ****** go off right under your eyes and never say one single word?" ?

Huck was raised to believe that slaves are not his equal and should be treated as property, so when he has to make a decision to either turn in Jim or not, he feels sick and guilty because his conscience has led him to help Jim obtain his freedom.

What purpose does Huck's death serve? *

It gives him total freedom.

Based on the novel so far, especially Chapter 6, which is the best description of Pap?

Pap is a drunken racist and abusive father who only thinks of himself.

What is the point of the NOTICE blurb that appears before Chapter 1 in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?

The NOTICE regarding the lack of seriousness in the novel has the opposite effect: It alerts readers the novel will address serious themes

Why does Twain include the conversation about how Jim "invested" the fourteen dollars he once had? *

Through this conversation, the reader finds out that Jim is trusting but perhaps a bit gullible.

Twain alludes to the Biblical story of Adam and Eve in the following passage: "He had been drunk over in town, and laid in the gutter all night, and he was a sight to look at. A body would a thought he was Adam, he was just all mud." What is the purpose of this allusion?

Twain is comparing Pap to Adam because Pap was covered in mud and Adam was said to have been created from the clay of the earth.

Why does Huck explain in the first paragraph that Twain mostly told the truth in his book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and that it was okay because according to Huck "I never seen anybody but lied, one time or another"?

Twain sets up Huck as a narrator who somewhat understands the human condition.

What is the purpose of including the reference to Widow Douglas taking snuff in chapter 1?

Twain was indicating the hypocrisy of society through the widow's actions.
