huck finn paragraphs

1. Huck is influenced by tom, Jim, pap, and Widow Douglas in many ways. Tom sawyer influence’s Huck in many ways. Tom is hucks best friend and pretty much tells Huck what is right and wrong. Tom chills with Huck and huck chills with tom but I don’t think tom has the best influence because tom tries to do bad stuff like being a robber. Tom sawyer said “we are going to be robbers.” Page 5.


2. Widow Douglas influenced tom sawyer good. Widow Douglas told tom that smoking was bad and using improper English was bad. She said to him “don’t put your feet up there huckleberry, don’t scrunch up huck.” Page 2. And by doing that it made him a little more proper and gave him more pasture.

3. Pap was a bad influence to huck. Pap told huck horrible things and made him feel cruddy about himself. Pap locked huck up and would not come back for hours. Pap only wants huck for his money witch probably puts huck down. Pap had a knife in his had and put it under his arm and said “he would sleep and get strong and then we would see who was who. On page 22 paragraphs 3. Witch meant he was going to kill him.



4. Jim had a very good influence on huck because Jim was a good guy and had much knowledge. Jim liked huck and huck liked Jim and they became friends once ran away at the same time huck ran away ever since then the knowledge Jim has of slavery has been passed on to huck and huck does not have a problem with black people unlike everyone else. Jim said to huck “I reckon they robbed and killed the man in the house.” He said that to tell huck what probably happened when they found the house on the 3 mile island. That quote was on page 39 chapter x.
