The Mississippi as CHARACTER in Huck Finn

HW: P2 Monday, March 14
P3 and P8 Tuesday, March 15

1. Characterize the Mississippi River. As they travel these first few weeks down the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, they see many things. If we look at the river as an actual CHARACTER within the novel, how would you characterize them?


2. What does Huck mean when he said “…a dream does tire a body like everything sometimes,”?


3. In humbling himself to Jim, what does Huck learn?


4. In the beginning of Chapter 15, there’s a departure from “reality”, as stated in the Endnotes. Explain how Twain’s plot differs from what should’ve happened next.


“We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.” ~ Lloyd Alexander
