Chapter 21-23
1. He doesn’t want to cheat people and the duke and the king didn’t ask him to help them.
2. Its making fun of the southern law/ how the southerners take the law into there own hands.
3. The circus is really a performance that takes practice and talent they actually try and work for their money/ where as the play is just the duke and the king scamming people in to think that they are these professional performers when they really aren’t.
4. He is shocked. It seems as if he has not gone to a circus before. But he is just as shocked as the ringmaster when clown comes out of his disguises. Huck misses the point of the performance.
5. The crowd will come if there is expected to be content which is not appropriate for women and children because they will want to know what is so bad.

8.
Chapter 24-27
1. We see Jim get disguised as a sick Arab so the group doesn’t have to tie him up any more. Then they all by new clothes which help with the kings new persona to make it more believable
2.
3. The girls are young and innocent and haven’t thought about how not everyone will have their best interests at heart. This is also because they are orphans.
4. The family has her eat in the kitchen because of her deformity. They don’t want others to see it and they treat her like a servant because of it.
5. Believing in something romantic because the town wants to believe the lies that the duke and the king are saying instead of listening to the Doctor.
6. Because the duke is preying on these three innocent girls and this goes against what Huck believes in, and he likes one of the girls.
Chapter 28-30
1. One of the things that Twain does is he makes fun of the dead which you are not suppose to do. Then at the funeral the undertaker kills a dog because it is barking profusely at the funeral and at funerals you should be morning.
2. It is Irony because he wants to tell the truth because he has been lying through out the whole story.
3. Huck likes to protect the girls, but he feels that he should just tell them the truth, which is funny because that is not within Huck’s character.
4. Because if Jim were with the group then he would have figured out that the king and the duke where not royalty, which would make a worse situation then just leaving Jim tied to a tree.
5. Hines is stupid when he sees the money, because he forgets about Huck.
6. Huck loves Mary Jane that is why Huck helps her so much.
7. Even though the Duke and the king are lying, and the town believes them over someone who has proof.
8. A truthful man who is actually trying to help the girls.
9. Because they are still lying and they are still swindling money from the town, so they are still villains.
Chapter 31-35
1. Yes because Huck decides to go against society to rescue Jim.
2. It is ironic because Huck is really doing the right thing but in his mind he is committing a crime. In reality he is saving Jim, which is the right decision.
3. The symbolism is the fact that Huck is describing this plantation and the fact that even in these small peaceful town there is slavery going on.
4. He believes in God to help him come up with a plan to save Jim. She would disagree with what Huck is doing because he isn’t following the true path of God.
5. Because Miss Watson asks if any one got hurt. Huck replies with just a Nigger, and it is funny because they don’t care about the fact that a black man got hurt.
6. Realism vs. Romanticism Huck lives in reality where as Tom and his plans live in a fantasyland. Tom thinks that all of his plans will work because society is not as smart as he is.
7. Huck’s motives make a lot more sense because he wants to save Jim. Tom just wants to have a crazy adventure.
8. Huck was still sympathetic when he saw what had happened to the king and duke even though they have done all that terrible stuff.
9. That Tom says that they can go out and steal all of this stuff, but they have to help with Jim’s escape. When Huck takes a watermelon, Tom makes him go pay for it.
10. Because Huck thinks that Tom’s plans are better, because Huck looks up to Tom as a role model.
