1. The one he told Judith was not as well thought out and obviously didn't work but the one he told the watchman worked well and accomplished what Huck wanted it to do. I think this reinforces the theme of gullibility because both adults believed him no matter how ridicules it was.
2. Marry Sarah Williams, George Peters and George Jackson.
3. Toms gang is not real it is kinda just something they made up even though they want it to be real. The gang on the boat will actually kill you if they want to and then rob you. I think Twain is trying to show the theme appearance Vs. Reality.
4. He named it this because in Walter Scott's books there is always a happy ending and Twain does not believe the ending has to end happy.
5. It is 740 miles long and about 1 mile wide. And in Illinois and Missouri the river is rough.
6. Peaceful and calm. This represents appearance Vs. Reality.
7. Because he would have thought about it and felt bad if he didn't. It's ironic because he is in his own "gang" and should not care about them.
8. Tom Sawyer can still influence them even being miles and miles away.
9. The fact that the way they are describing it they wind up being the same thing, because thy are never going to repay the people. They also don't want to take as much but the things they don't want to take they don't like anyway.
10. Moses being dead. Huck "killing" himself. IDK!!!
11. ???
12. this is a foreshadow because every time they hit land they have a conflict with society. the fog is the chaos of society.
13. Normal whites don't have feeling towards black they think of them as property but because Huck has been spending so much time with Jim he is starting to think of him as a person. he realizes they have feelings and care what happens to them.
14. "Jim said it made him all over trembly and feverish to be so close to freedom. Well, it made me all trembly and feverish, too, to hear him because I begun to get it through my head that he was most free -- and who was to blame for it? Why me. I couldn't get it out of my conscience, no how nor no way." - he was excited for both of them to be free but he felt bad that he helped him escape.
"Here was this nigger which I as good as helped to run away, coming right out flat-footed and saying he would steal his children -- children that belonged to a man I didn't even know; a man that hadn't ever done me no harm." he was angry that he helped him escape just so he could steal his children, and do more wrong. This is making him doubt himself more and more. Its ironic that Jim's blood has to be stolen to get them back even though they are blood.
"Well, then, says I, what's the use you learning to do right, when it's troublesome to do right and ain't no trouble to do wrong, and the wages is just the same?" it is better to do wrong because you won't get in trouble as much as you would if you did right.
"Doan' less' talk about it, Huck. Po' niggers can't have no luck. I awluz 'spected dat rattle-snake skin warn't done wid its work." as soon as they miss this turn they are going further into slave states and the is very bad for Jim
15. They do so because his father has small pox and they feel bad. But in reality he doesn't even have his father with him and he is technically rich.
16. Society Vs. Nature
17. he was looking for a direction to go in for the book.
18. they have revolutionary paintings but they also have their dead daughters painting and poetry about death. they are
19. He tricks buck into spelling his name so he remembers it and knows how to spell it.
20. He didn't understand that it was a riddle and was angry that buck was waisting his time with something he already knew. He saves the Israelites/slaves
21. It's ironic that the pigs will go in there a lot but people don't want to go in there unless they have to.
22. It's an allusion to Romeo and Juliet.
23. It just represents how much both of them want to be free. When they are on land they have constraints
