Huck finn chapter 29-43

"You don't look as much like your mother as I reckoned you would; but law sakes, I don't care for that, I'm so glad to see you! Dear, dear, it does seem like I could eat you up! Children, it's your cousin Tom!—tell him howdy."

Aunt Sally talking about how Huck doesn't really look like Tom

allusions that tom makes

Casanova, Jane Grey, Henry IV, man in iron mask

"Well, I RECKON! There's two hunderd dollars reward on him. It's like picking up money out'n the road."

Duke after he turns in Jim

Tom's most well now, and got his bullet around his neck on a watch-guard for a watch, and is always seeing what time it is, and so there ain't nothing more to write about, and I am rotten glad of it, because if I'd a knowed what a trouble it was to make a book I wouldn't a tackled it, and ain't a-going to no more. But I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can't stand it. I been there before.

Huck

"And then think of ME! It would get all around that Huck Finn helped a n- to get his freedom; and if I was ever to see anybody from that town again I'd be ready to get down and lick his boots for shame. That's just the way: a person does a low-down thing, and then he don't want to take no consequences of it."

Huck debating what he's going to do about Jim

"I do believe he cared just as much for his people as white folks does for their'n. It don't seem natural, but I reckon it's so...He was a mighty good n-, Jim was."

Huck talking about Jim and how he's now a person to Huck because he cares for his family like white people do

"I knowed he was white inside, and I reckoned he'd say what he did say---so it was all right now, and I told Tom I was a-going for a doctor."

Huck talking about Jim and how he's white inside because he went and got the doctor

"Well if ever I struck anything like it, I'm a n-. It was enough to make a body ashamed of the human race."

Huck talking about the Duke and King and how they're pretending to be the brothers and how he's ashamed of them

"You'll say it's dirty, low-down business; but what if it is? I'm low down; and I'm a going to steal him and I want you to keep mum and not let on. Will you?"

Huck talking to Tom about stealing Jim back and how he thinks Tom won't help him

"deep down in me I knowed it was a lie, and He knowed it. You can't pray a lie---I found that out....I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: 'All right, then, I'll go to hell'----and tore it up."

Huck when he tears up the letter and saves Jim (climax)

"I went right along, not fixing up any particular plan, but just trusting to Providence to put the right words in my mouth when the time come; for I'd noticed that Providence always did put the right words in my mouth if I left it alone."

"I liked the n- for that; I tell you, gentlemen, a n- like that is worth a thousand dollars—and kind treatment, too. I had everything I needed, and the boy was doing as well there as he would a done at home—better, maybe, because it was so quiet; but there I WAS, with both of 'm on my hands, and there I had to stick till about dawn this morning; then some men in a skiff come by, and as good luck would have it the n- was setting by the pallet with his head propped on his knees sound asleep; so I motioned them in quiet, and they slipped up on him and grabbed him and tied him before he knowed what he was about, and we never had no trouble."

"Well, den, dis is de way it look to me, Huck. Ef it wuz HIM dat 'uz bein' sot free, en one er de boys wuz to git shot, would he say, 'Go on en save me, nemmine 'bout a doctor f'r to save dis one?' Is dat like Mars Tom Sawyer? Would he say dat? You BET he wouldn't! WELL, den, is JIM gywne to say it? No, sah—I doan' budge a step out'n dis place 'dout a DOCTOR, not if it's forty year!"

Jim talking about how he's gonna help Tom and Huck by getting the doctor

"Nemmine why Huck----but he ain't comin back no mo." Doan' you 'member de house dat was float'n down de river, en dey wuz a man in dah, kivered up, en I went in en unkivered him and didn' let you come in? Well, den, you kin git yo' money when you wants it, kase dat wuz him."

Silas and Sally phelps

Tom Sawyer's aunt and uncle, whom Huck coincidentally encounters in his search for Jim after the con men have sold him.

"They hain't no RIGHT to shut him up! SHOVE!—and don't you lose a minute. Turn him loose! He ain't no slave; he's as free as any cretur that walks this earth!"

Tom talking about how Aunt Sally shouldn't lock JIm up because he's already free

"It don't make no difference how foolish it is, it's the RIGHT way—and it's the regular way. And there ain't no OTHER way, that ever I heard of, and I've read all the books that gives any information about these things. They always dig out with a case-knife—and not through dirt, mind you; generly it's through solid rock. And it takes them weeks and weeks and weeks, and for ever and ever. Why, look at one of them prisoners in the bottom dungeon of the Castle Deef, in the harbor of Marseilles, that dug himself out that way; how long was HE at it, you reckon?

Tom talking about where he got his ideas

Aunt Polly

Tom's mother
