1. What do we learn about Jim in these chapters?
That he is very kind and treats Tom and Huck as if they are the same skin, Huck even says he is white on the inside. He really does believe in superstition.
2. What effect does the Doctor's speech in support of Jim have? How do you feel about that?
He saves Jim's life and he says hes good he shouldn't be hanged and the doctor.
3. What is the significance of the bullet?
Its like a souvinier of his adventure, and its like a game piece puzzle.
4. Where is Huck going at the end of the novel? What does this imply about his view of the world in which he lives?
To the west. It implys he wants to leave everyone and go on another adventure and not be civiliezed, he wants to be free again like on the river.
5. Comment on the style of the novel. Do you feel it represents the Realist tradition as we have discussed it? What aspects of Huck's character make him a good narrator? What problems did you encounter (if any) due to Huck's narration? Speculate on how a different narrator or a third person omniscient narrator would impact the story.
