John Rutherford wrote this article about the Erie Canal to the people of New York informing them of the recent concerns about who is in control of the canal, who can transport goods by the canal, and how the canal will operate. He uses examples and details telling New York that some Citizens of the Western States will not use the canal because they believe it will be to be trafficked by the big cities’ trade instead. This causing them to continue using other waterways including the Welland canal…

when Pap shows up and wants to take Huck’s six thousand dollars. “ That’s why I come. You git me that money tomorrow. I want it” (pg.20). Pap tried several times to go to court to get Huck’s money but he never succeeded. He locked Huck in a cabin up river so he could not stop him from getting the money. All he wanted the money for was so he could buy more liquor. Although Pap did crazy things for money, others did crazy things too.…

One of the many questions I would like answered is whether Mark Twain, the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, views the past through “rose-colored glasses.” This would mean that he makes it seem like everything is great all the time and that nothing bad ever happens. First of all, the boys, Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, witness a murder. A MURDER! Now, if someone was putting a time period through rose-colored glasses, they sure would not mention something so frightening and shady. Another thing…

Huckleberry Finn, an American classic. Have you ever wondered if there’s more to it than just a novel? Have you ever been able to pull something life changing from it? When I first started reading Huckleberry Finn, one thing that stuck out to me was the fact he was very submissive to adult authority. Instead of sitting down and talking about the problems he was having with the widow, he thought he would just leave. I think towards the end of the book he realizes that not all adults are right…

Smiley Makes Me Frowny: The Crucial Flaws in Jane Smiley’s Criticism of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn First of all, I cannot even begin to begin my essay without bringing up how irrelevant Jane Smiley’s introduction is. “So I broke my leg. Doesn’t matter how-” (page 354). If it doesn’t matter how, then it doesn’t matter to the rest of criticism. Smiley does not compare the pain of her broken leg to the pain of reading Huckleberry Finn (though one could argue the pain of a shattered tibia…

In the story The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, there happens to be a lot of superstition. Many examples can be seen in the novel, for example Huck spilling salt and killing a spider and also the hair ball that would tell fortunes. Superstition plays a very big role in the story of Huckleberry Finn. In the first chapter when Huck sees a spider crawling up his shoulder and flicks it off and lands in the flame of a candle. When he tries to get it out by that time it had already…
