What impresses Huck about the Greenford’s house is that it was that he said “it was a mighty fine house, too I hadn’t seen no house out in the country before that was so nice and had so much style.” He said it didn’t have an iron latch on the door but I nice brass knob the same as the houses in town all parlors had beds in them it had a huge fire place that was bricked at the bottom of it had big bras bog-iron that could hold up a whole log. they had clocks in they house it had pictures around the house and one that Huck noticed was one hung above the mantle piece of a town.( quote on page 75 pp 3)
. What was so nice about the books in the house is that they had so many and Huck was so interested because he loves to read. Huck’s view of education is that he thinks schooling or at least reading is important and you need to be able to read and write.
What is so unique about the paintings is that it resembles what the little girl was like and what her life was like. The painting of the girl on the edge of the bridge is very significant because it says she doesn’t know if she wants to live, go to heaven or to go to hell mark twain describes this so specifically because this was her last drawing that was never finished. It might say that she wants to die or kill herself off the bridge. Huck was touched because he felt bad the girl never finished it. Huck said “ I reckon it is lovely” on page 79 pp
