Huck Finn Reader Response #3 (Ch. 14 – Ch. 18)

Huck Finn Reader Response (Ch.14-Ch.18)


I think that Huck really likes the Grangerford house. One reason why he likes this house is because the people are real kind and they are active with each other and they get along. Another reason why that is because they have a lot of books that Huck really likes. It shows that they are nice in chapter 17 page 73 paragraphs 4 it says:”Why bless you, Saul the poor thing’s as wet as he can be; and don’t you reckon it may be he’s hungry?”

The books in the house are so special to Huck because he really likes the books that are in the house. He likes books from the biography of doctors and stuff. I think that he was so interested in them because he is an educated person and wants to do something with his life. It shows that Huck is not like his father and that he is a real smart person. To Twain it show that just because you come from somewhere else where there wasn’t a lot of smart people doesn’t mean you can’t be educated.

What is unique in the scrapbooks and stuff is that they all have to deal with death and stuff. To me the girl seems to be obsessed with death and darkness and dying. It significant that she wanted to do three things. One could have been death one could have been help and another one could have been like I reaching out to god or something. Twain describes this so good because he wants to draw attention and bring irony to the book. To me Twain view of death is that people die because of many decision. Huck is touch because he wanted to know how this girl was feeling at the time and why she writing like that and stuff was.

This concludes my essay.
