Huck questions

1. Why does Huck observe but does not participate in the schemes of the duke and king?
In my opinion Huck does have some morals. But he is not as bad as the king and duke and try not to scam the innocent people. He only lies to get by from doing things and keep him alive.
2. Through the Grangerford episode, Twain was able to criticize the myth of Southern honor. What myth of Southern life does Twain satirize in the Sherburn / Boggs incident (which, by the way, was based on a true incident)? What aspect of human nature does Twain satirize through the scene in the drugstore?
Idea of southern law or western side. He satirize that they were all cowards and without a leader they were nothing. That the only time he is going to be lynch is if the Ku Klux Klan and crueilty from humans.
3. Compare the circus with the entertainment supplied by the duke and king?
It was kinda like the Duke and King the only differnce was the Duke and King said "NO WOMAN NO CHILDREN ADMITTED" It was way shorter and more of ripping them off.

He thinks the ring master was deceived. Huck really doest get jokes or anything that much even though he use to pull pranks.

That it is a comedy line and he is saying to try and make a joke so more people come to the show and that the King and Duke are Royal Nonesuch they are not really a king and duke. It seems more bad or rude so more people would watch it.
6. "What was the use to tell Jim these warn't real kings and dukes? It wouldn't a done no good; and besides, it was just as I said; you couldn't tell them from the real kind." What does Twain imply?
That Kings and dukes are con artists. How the kings are bad and do bad things and problems.
7. What is significant about the story of 'Lizabeth?
the scarlet fever made her deaf and jim is really sorry about him hitting her and it gives insight on his information and it shows him being a good and decent person.
