Huck Discussion Questions: V-XI

1. The irony is that pap doesnt want huck to be better than himself when in reality parents usually want their kids to have it easier than they did as children
2. Society says it's hard to separate family
3. It is easy for him. It is his normal way of life.
4. It reflects onto the society being racist
5. Freedom and rebirth of Huck as a new character
6. It wouldn't have been successful if tom were there. He would've tried to do an escape like in the romantic novels he reads
7. He begins to think that prayer does work, just not for him
8. He thinks huck is a ghost. After finding out he is really alive and hears huck's story, he is hesitant to reveal his own story.
9. Now they aren't alone. They are new people, however, huck is now helping a slave run, and that is more than frowned upon
10. Abolitionist is frowned upon in the society, but it's the right thing to do
11. He expeiranced the superstitions he talked about
12. He begins to believe in the superstitions and believe more in jim's intelligence
13. He develops a persona. Most boys wouldnt want to dress up like a girl but he is up for it
14.
15. Jim is worth more than Pap. Jim is black. Pap went on a rant saying that black people amount to nothing in life. irony.
