Huck FInn Chapters 12-16
1. ¿Cuál es la historia del rey Salomón y su hijo? ¿Cómo interpreta Jim esa historia?
It started with that Salomon was the wisest man in the world, but in reality it was not like that, since he thought many things as foolish as one with his son who wanted to leave in two to give one half to the woman and keep the another, but there was a fight since the woman wanted it all, for Jim there was no sense in what the king was doing because he believed in other things and it did not seem like what he was doing.
2. Jim y Huck se separan en la niebla. ¿Cuál es la reacción de Jim cuando ve a Huck? ¿Cómo te sientes acerca de Jim en este punto?
Because he did not believe in many things like the others, he had a different way of thinking about the reactions or decisions that others took, like the decision that King Salomon wanted to make about his son, Jim did not seem to cut his son in half to give it to the woman.
3. Jim es muy supersticioso. Desde un punto de vista histórico, ¿por qué crees que esto es?
por que arrastraron la piel de serpiente y desde hay decian que tenian mucha mala suerte decia que no eso no se juega.
because they dragged the snake skin and from there they said that they had a lot of bad luck said that that is not played.
4. "Pasaron quince minutos antes de que pudiera esforzarme para irme y humillarme ante un negro, pero lo hice, y nunca más me arrepentiré de eso". ¿Qué nos dice esta línea sobre Huck?
Fue por que Huck Finn se sintió humillado por un negro por que creyó que ellos eran una persona menor que el, pero resultó mejor persona de lo que él creía y por eso se sintió así.
It was because Huck Finn felt humiliated by a black man because he thought they were a person younger than him, but he turned out to be a better person than he believed and that's why he felt that way.
5. Al final del capítulo 16, Huck está luchando para dejar a Jim. Describe la batalla que tiene consigo mismo y explica sus acciones cuando los hombres se acercan a buscar a los 5 esclavos escapados.

Huck FInn Chapters 17-21
1. Describe the Grangerford family (chapters 17 and 18).
Buck's family, the Grangerfords, offer to let Huck stay with them as long as he wants. Huck innocently admires the house and its humorously tacky galas, including the work of a deceased daughter, Emmeline, who created sentimental works of art and unwittingly funny poems about people who died. Settling down with the Grangerfords and enjoying their kindness, Huck thinks "nothing better than that" than life in the comfortable house.
2. Mark Twain suggests that the Grangerford and the Shepherdsons do not like each other because one is a farmer and the other is a rancher. What is Twain trying to say about these professions? (Chapter 18)
Huck's stay at Grangerfords represents another instance of Twain taunting American tastes and concepts of romantic literature. For Huck, who has never had a home other than the widow's most spartan house, the Grangerford house looks like a palace. The admiration of Huck is genuine but naive, because the Grangerford and his place are something absurd. In the figure of the deceased Emmeline Grangerford, Twain mocks the propensity of Victorian literature towards mourning and melancholy. In fact, the works of art and the hilariously horrible poems of Emmeline make fun of the popular works of the time. The combination of exaggerated bad taste and the intrinsically sad theme in Emmeline's art is both strange and comical: when we learn, Emmeline was so enthusiastic in her artistic pursuits that she used to defeat the undertaker to a new corpse. Huck, meanwhile, feels uneasy about the macabre aspect of Emmeline's work. Her attempts to accept her art and her life remind us that sometimes laughter is insensitive: after all, Emmeline and her subjects were real people who died.
3. At the end of Chapter 18, Huck says, "I do not want to talk ... about the day, I think I'll cut it short enough." How does this help the reader understand Huck's feelings?
Well, this helps to understand all the problems that Huck has gone through in his life and that this helps the reader understand that he does not want to know the same thing as always and because that for him, he gets tired of his life or over who does not want to remember anything of that past.
4. Explain who is the King and the Duke. Why does Huck agree with his story (Chapter 19)?
Because the king is the one who governs the city and the duke is the one who helps the king especially the plans he has.
5. What problems do you anticipate with the Duke's solution of how everyone can handle the raft during the day (Chapter 20)?
6. Illustrate what the city is like in Chapter 21.
What is illustrated is like the dynamics of power and like a heart in darkness.

Huck FInn Chapters 22-26
1. At the end of chapter 22, we see the prospectus that the king and duke will distribute to the people. The Duke says: "If that line does not reach them, I do not know Arkansas!" Why does the line at the bottom of the leaflet lead people to the work?
Because they wanted to steal the kids from the people, in the theater plays and because I was going to see world things.
2. Towards the end of chapter 23 we see: "What was the use to tell Jim that these men are not true kings or dukes?" No good would be done, and besides, it was just as I said, you could not tell them of the real type. "
a.Why Huck does not see the use of telling Jim?
Because Huck thought it would take a long time to explain to Jim, since Jim could ask more and more questions and Huck had to explain more and more, also because Jim was in poor condition as Jim missed his family and Huck did not want as to put sad or put worried.
b. What do you mean Huck with "can not tell them the real class"?
because they are not real dukes and kings and they may not be able to distinguish who is who [who is the true duke and the true king]
3. The last line of chapter 24 says: "It was enough for a person to be ashamed of the human race. "What is Huck talking about? What does (the reader) tell us about Huck? How does it feel like that?
Well, the men formed a group and gave them their thoughts, they told them all kinds
of things and they put their bags up the hill and they let them lean on them so they could cry "together", and When they told the king all the details of hislast moments
brother's, he told the whole thing again with the duke's hands and they both cried for
that dead tanner as if they had lost the twelve disciples. Well, if
I find something like that again, it's because I'm a black man. For those people it was enough to feel
ashamed of the human race.
4. In chapter 25 we meet the doctor. How does the doctor know that the king and the duke are frauds?
Because the doctor, they tried to speak with the accent Inglese but they did it badly, that's why the doctor already knew that they were lying.
5. The king and the duke consider leaving in the middle of the night with money (chapter 26). Why not?
Because the king and the duke think that with the lands of the orphans they can sell and earn more money.
Chapter 27-30
chapter 27: they stayed there during that period, to watch over bodies, after that Huck went to look for the key to see the remains of Peter and when he saw him he started to cry and dried his tears with a handkerchief
chapter 28:When Huck entered the girls' room the first person he saw was MAarie Janes and he saw how she was crying all over and Huck saw that to the natural and Huck told her "that she can not stand seeing people suffer that she had the confidence to vent with Huck "
chapter 29:The lawyer is a friend of a deceased, who asks the dolphin to sign and the real Harvey began to compare signatures where when they signed they were going to commit fraud

Huck tries to pray for forgiveness, but he comes to find that you can not because his heart is not in that. Huck writes a letter to Ms. Watson. However, before you start praying, think about the time you spent with Jim on the river side, in Jimen's kind heart, your friendship.
chapter 32:He breaks the letter because when he started reading it, a lady realized everything and that's why she broke the letter
33. Huck is disappointed that Tom helps him steal Jim. He says: "Tom Sawyer fell, considerable, in my opinion ... I just could not believe it ... Tom Sawyer, a black thief!" Do you agree or disagree with this? (Chapter 33)
Disagreement why the one who Huck started it all, so he has no right to call it that, because he is also and first of all Tom Sawyer
34. Huck says two things at the end of chapter 33:
1. "Humans can be terribly cruel the one with the another one. "
2." But that's always the way: it does not matter if you do it, right or wrong, a person's conscience makes no sense, and anyway he just defends it.
"What does Huck mean with these two? statements?
That even if you're good or bad always will be, but not want down that road, there will always be a part of the human being to take you anywhere,not be your decision, if not your actions.
35. Why are Looking for Tom and Huck away more difficultto free Jim? (Chapter 34).
Why has he I have spent good moments with him, and as they have already taken him with him and it hurts them to let him go.
Chapter 36-40
chapter 36:Tom said that we were already right behind the
Jim's bed and that we would dig underneath, and when we got there no one would give
I realized that there was a hole, because Jim's quilt hung almost to the ground and
you would have to lift it up to look under it to see it. So we started digging with
the knives until almost midnight, when we feel tired, with our hands
full of blisters, and yet you hardly noticed what we had done. I finally said
I:
--This is not going to last thirty-seven years; this work is for thirty-eight years, Tom
Sawyer
He did not say anything. But he sighed and then stopped digging and then I saw that he was thinking during a
little while. Then he said:
- This is not going, it's not going to work. If we were prisoners, it would work, because
we would have all the years we wanted without any hurry, and we could not dig any more
that a few minutes a day, while they changed their guard, so that they would not come out
blisters on the hands, and we could keep constantly, year after year, and do it
Well, how do you do things? But we can not waste time, we have
to hurry; we do not have so much time If we had another night like that, we would have to
rest a week so that our hands could be cured; we would take all that time
in touching a kitchen knife again.
- So, what are we going to do, Tom?
--I'm gonna tell you. It's not right, and it's not moral, and I would not like it to be known, but it's
the only way: we have to take it out with the picks and pretend to be knives
kitchen.
chapter37:What he's trying to say is that Tom had found a spoon and left it in the kitchen, a woman named Sally appeared and they started arguing about things that Tom said were not true.
chapter38:He is writing a letter and warning him that they are going to make a shield and he warned his aunt to be ready with everything that was going to happen.
chapter39:gave him instructions so that they are protected from everything.
Chapter41-end
chapter41:Because he is healthy from the wound and can stay alive to stop everything.
chapter42:We can really say yes, because in spite of all the bad things he did he has been like protecting and warning everything they do and what they have done ... we can turn on the one that really weighs a person bad but has always been aware of everything.
Opinion for this novel:I think Huck is a story where he explains and one learns too much about that story really. In addition we can see everything Huck did in spite of how small he was, but in spite of being a child, he had enough capacity and matures in everything really.
Because they wanted to steal the kids from the people, in the theater plays and because I was going to see world things.
