Huckleberry's Monologue

1657 Words7 Pages

I have a new teacher Mr. Huckleberry, he’s a middle-aged black man with a calm energy around him. After waiting in line to be seated he points at the back table in the right corner, a girl called Claire is already seated here, she smiles at me then tucks her ginger hair behind her ears, I like her because someone started a rumour saying her step-dad was bald so he stapled a wig onto his head and that made me laugh until my stomach hurt. Now it’s Jonah’s turn to be seated. I crossed my fingers underneath the table and only a few seconds’ later Mr. Huckleberry points at the table I’m on then says “next to Bame.” At this point my heart is racing and I’m screaming internally but of course maintain a cool exterior. I turn around to look at the paint brushes while he walks over, and start a …show more content…

Sighing I turn to Natalie, she has a horrified look on her face pointing towards Alice. I turned to see a giant bug crawling up Alice’s back towards her hair. Once it got to the back of her neck it jumps onto her hair clip then continues to make its way up. I feel bad for her but can’t help but wonder how she didn’t notice it, it’s almost the same size as her hair clip. I can hear sniggering from behind me, I look to investigate, and the rest of the class is gawking at her as if they’re watching a real life action movie. Alice finally notices the bug then casually flicks it off her head, it lands on the carpet next to me. I squirm towards Natalie who’s already freaking out. Our teacher notices the commotion then without hesitation a voice from the back shouts “There was a bug in Alice’s hair.” My posture collapses as I sink lower in my space, I feel ashamed of myself I should’ve said something. I watch how her ears turn red from behind which makes me feel even worst. “Then why didn’t anyone say anything!” Mr. Huckleberry snaps. He keeps everyone, except Alice and the people in the front behind afterschool to explain to us what bullying

    In the sixth chapter of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain manipulates the reader’s opinion of racism by using Pap, an antagonist to display his attitude towards the subject. Twain expertly uses the character Pap to explain his viewpoint using circumstance and the structure of his speech to make the idea of racism distasteful, uncomfortable, and even absurd to the reader. Before the initial speech Twain sets up Pap as a horrible father, a chronic alcoholic, and a liar. These qualities followed by Pap’s actions establish a permanent animosity towards the character and what he stands for leading the reader to inherently disagree with everything he says. Twain introuduces Pap at the beginning of chapter 6 by with him attempting to steal

    The scene that I relate to in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is when Huck is trying to get away from the Duke and the King. The quote that I found for this part in the book was when huck was talking to Mary Jane and he said “ It’s a rough gang, them two frauds, I’m fixed so I got to travel with them a while longer...”(187). This quote shows that Huck has figured out that the Duke and King are not good people and that he knows that he will still be with them for a little while longer.

    “Among many disparate attempts by scholars and critics to explicate The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, at least two interpretations have met with general acceptance: 1) the feud of the Grangerfords and Shepherdsons...represents a literally fatal flaw in the chivalric code of a decadent Southern aristocracy, and... Huck's desire to escape the strictures of civilization by seeking the relative freedom from social restraint represented by the river and the territories” (Hoy, 17). In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain uses a satirical approach to initially reveal the truths about the Grangerfords; however, these initial truths build to expose the aristocratic values of a southern family and how their views reformed Huck’s outlook on

    If you had to explain death and your perspective as an author how would you do it? Well each writer has their own style, in which some like to use descriptive figurative language and mood-setting tone to set a scene in their writing. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain and Sylvia Plath's “ I am Vertical” both demonstrate three types of writing that reveal the concept of death. The poem and the novel consist of, mood-setting tone, as well as descriptive figurative language, and lastly expressive first-person point of view. First, both sources, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and “I am Vertical”, use first-person point of view instead of third-person to express the topic of death.
