Study Questions XXXI-XXXV

1) Yes, because Huck becomes aware of the fact that he would literally go to hell for Jim and go against everything he has been taught about helping a slave. He will be stealing someone’s “property,” according to the society.
2) Huck had once said that going to hell would be better then going to heaven because it would be more fun. But now he is saying that going to hell is a bad thing and he will go there for stealing Jim but he is ok with it.
3) The Country that they describe is dark and gloomy and lonesome, a lot like Huck is feeling right now, especially because he is without Jim, who has formed a strong bond with.
4) Huck kind of shows that he is somewhat religious and he is starting to believe in fate. As long as he doesn’t try to force things a certain way they will all end up the same and everything will be fine. Miss Watson would agree because she is very religious as well.
5) He makes up a story again. He says that nobody got hurt, just a nigger died, so he isn’t actually counting the nigger as a person which is ironic because he is helping Jim and he thinks of Jim as one of the best people he knows.
6) Romanticism vs. Realism. Tom Sawyer is on his way and since he is so adventurous Huck thinks he could help him find a way to steal Jim back.
7) Tom is doing because he wants to experience an adventure like he read in his books. And Huck is doing it because Jim has become very near and dear to him and wants him back.
8) Huck still has a good heart. Whether or not he like people he still doesn’t want to see them in bad situations, no matter how bad they are.
9) He thinks ok to steal when you are breaking out of prison, but its ironic because they are his families watermelons so they aren’t technically stealing.
10) Because he looks up to Tom and he thinks Tom is smarter then him cause he reads and has all these great stories.
