Post 1: Huck Finn Response (Ch. 1- Ch. 12)

So far in the book Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck explains how he was living with he widow and how picky she was with his clothes, schoolwork, and religion. Huck eventually gives all of his money over to Judge Thatcher because he has a feeling his father is going to return. There has been word that his father drowned, but Huck knows that this is not true because the body was not floating like a male body would float. This is later confirmed when he sees foot prints outside of his window in the snow and his father pops up in his room one night. After being locked up in a room by his father for 3 days, Huck decides to fake his own death and escape using an old wood saw. After hearing of his death, Jim, the widows nigger, decided to escape as well. The two ended up meeting each other on the other side of the river. Huck dressed himself as a girl and went back to town to hear some news. There, a woman who talked too much told him that a couple guys were coming to find Jim so they could get the cash reward. Huck quickly went back to Jim and warned him. The set out on a raft and ran into several murderers...

Compared to Of Mice and Men, this book is quite similar. The use of various dialects is used in both books and I happen to like that. It makes the reader really have to pay attention to the story to understand it. There isn't too much I don't like about the book.
