1. I agree that Chapter 31 is the climax of the book because in that Chapter Huck makes an important dicision considering Jim. He finds out that Jim is the same as him, he is a human. Moreover he wasnt sure what he should do with Jim but in that chapter he knows that he has to save him and free him out of slavery.
2. The irony in this statement is that Huck really believes in that. Most people just say it as a phrase but do not really believe in that.
3. Huck is reborn again. The first paragraph symbolizes one of the main themes death and rebirth. Also it kinda seems like a very lonely western scene in a ghost town. (Ghost = death?)
4. The Providence is like God. Huck has faith in God in this moment because he believes that God puts the right words in his mouth when he needs them. I think Miss Watson would agree because she is a really religious person.
5.
6. Romanticism vs. Realism. Huck is the character that symbolizes Realism, Tom is the character that symbolizes romanticism. When Tom comes along on the ferry and meets Huck, romanticism and realism come together.
7. Huck wants to get Jim out of slavery because he is his friend and he really likes him. The only reason that Tom wants him out of slavery is that he wants fun and an adventure.
8. Even though the king and the duke gave Huck a lot of problems and he got into a lot of trouble because of them, he doesnt like it, when he sees them in tar and feathers. That shows that Huck has feelings and that he cares for people and has a good soul, that doesnt represent freedom.
9. When Huck steals the watermelon he wants it because he is hungry and needs it for himself. Tom on the other side says he doesnt need it, who cares if he is hungry, it is stealing if he takes it. However, if he took it to send it to Jim, bestest with a knife to kill people, its not stealing anymore, it would be perfectly fine.
10. Huck lets Tom take control because he admires him so much, he thinks his own doings and thoughts are worse than Tom's.
When we get to the end of the book - think about question 7 again.
