  3. Characters Huckleberry Finn - Goes to school against Pap’s threat. Gets Kidnapped by pap and was trapped a cabin. He did escape the cabin and traveled down river to Jackson’s Island. Pap- Fifty years old, long, greasy hair, gray eyes, long, gray beard, white face, filthy, and clothes all torn up (pg. 17). Pap tries to steal Huck’s money, he threatens Huck to not go to school, and kidnaps Huck when the Widow makes him mad. Judge Thatcher- Tries to make the Widow Huck’s guardian. Widow Douglas - Helps Judge Thatcher with  the court case. The new judge - Denies the custody case and invites Huck’s dad, pap, to dinner with him and his wife. Makes a pact with Huck’s dad saying  that Huck’s dad is a better man than he was before.

  4. Quotations for Analysis - Chapter 5 "... then they jailed him, and next day they had him before court, and jailed him again for a week.  But he said he was satisfied; said he was boss of his son, and he'd make it warm for him" (Twain, 19). Analysis: Pap has been jailed plenty before and he is now saying that Huck will grow up to be like him, get into trouble as he has, and then get jailed frequently.

  5. "'...That's why I come.  You git me that money to-morrow―I want it.' ...'I hain't got only a dollar, and I want that to―' 'It don't make no difference what you want it for―you just shell it out" (Twain, 18-9). Analysis: As Huck had predicted, pap returned for Huck's six thousand dollars.  Lucky enough, Huck did give Judge Thatcher the money in return for a dollar.  Now, pap can't get the money.  This shows that Huck is afraid of his father and what he does.  Pap takes the dollar and goes to get drunk.  If he got his hand on that six thousand, who knows what damage could've been done.

  6. "So he watched out for me one day in the spring, and catched me, and took me up the river about three mile in a skiff, and crossed over to the Illinois shore where it was woody and there warn't no houses but an old log hut in a place where the timber was so thick, you couldn't find it if you didn't know where it was" (Twain, 21). Analysis: Pap harasses Huck and one day he basically kidnaps him and brings him deep into the woods where no one is ought to find him. Even when sober, pap hurts Huck and locks him in the cabin.  Pap and Huck, don't have such a close father son relationship, it's more forced.

  7. "I slipped the ramrod down it [gun] to make sure it was loaded, and then I laid it across the turnip-barrel, pointing towards pap, and set down behind it to wait for him to stir" (Twain, 26). Analysis: Pap got drunk, again, and that night he started to see imaginary figures. He attacked Huck and eventually wore himself out so he fell asleep.  Huck, feeling unsafe around his father, took down the gun and was ready to shoot him if necessary.  He most likely wouldn't hesitate, if pap went after him again, he'd probably shoot him without double thinking.

  8. "They wont ever hunt the river for anything but my dead carcass. They'll soon get tired of that, and won't bother no more about me" (Twain, 30). Analysis: Huck was clever enough to devise a plan to make it seem as if robbers had stolen from the hut and killed Huck. He was tired of being beaten and wanted to be free from pap and everything from St. Petersburg, Missouri. People wouldn't be searching all over for Huck, but in the river for his corps. When they don't find it, they'll give up and stop looking. The relationship between Huck and pap isn't strong enough to stop Huck from framing his own death and escaping.

  9. "There was a little gray in they sky now; so I stepped into the woods, and laid down for a nap before breakfast" (Twain, 32). Analysis: After a "long night's work",  Huck was satisfied that his plan was fool proof and no one would be looking for him. His plan was well thought out and it was easy for him to go into the woods and catch up on his sleep before it was time to eat.  He wasn't one bit worried that something might go wrong with his plan.

  10. Two Themes from Chapters 5 -7 Do not quit when it does not go the way one wants, one will just strengthen the rival. •     ex: Huck’s dad’s self argument about government and his idea to no longer vote because a black man can vote. (Twain, 24) • Do not put oneself down for everyone is destined for great accomplishments with the strengths and weaknesses one was given.    •     ex: Huck escaping from the cabin and how he devises a plan to make himself look dead for when his dad returns. It is very creative. (Twain, 28)

  11. Questions • What did you think of Pap’s outrage in chapter six? What was your reaction to this? Why do you think Pap had this outrage during the middle of the night? (Twain, 25). • Why do you think the new judge wouldn't even look at the case before he refused to separate Huck and pap? Then when he did try to fix pap, why didn't he go back to the case after he realized pap couldn't be reformed (unless with a shotgun)?  (Twain, 20).
