For Tuesday, September 16

Re-read the first two paragraphs of Chapter 5.  Then, write a well-developed body paragraph that answers the following prompt:  How does Huck Finn characterize Pap through imagery and description?

Read Huckleberry Finn through Chapter 15. Pay particular attention to Huck's various attitudes toward Jim.  When do his attitudes seem to be authentically his; when do they seem to represent a social norm.  Huck and Jim's developing relationship is key to these chapters.

Also, notice Huck's ability or inability to lie and his ingenuity.  The superstitions held by various characters also indicate something about the era.  Look for things you would consider ironic or satirical.

Weekend Blessings!
