The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn Chapter 11- 43 Analysis
Chapter 11
"I reckon I shook like a leaf, and I didn't know hardly what to do."
(cite here)
The author in this simile uses a leaf to describe Huck?s Fear when his whole little girl charade is a bust. Huck has proven in the novel, due to the fact of mostly growing up in the woods, that he is very ?street smart? which probably gives rise to the fact that he?s so nervous. Not to mention he?s helping a runaway slave; which currently gives him this extreme inner guilt at times.

2. Theatrically, why might Shakespeare have opened Hamlet with an apparition in the dead of the night?

Shakespeare captures the audiences attention in the opening scene with the eerie atmosphere of ?bitter cold? and a sudden appearance of a ghost. While ?not a mouse [was] stirring?, Marcellus, Horatio, and Barnado deciding whether the ?dreaded sight? is or is not a figment of their imagination raises questions of the ghost?s significance and purpose in the play, whilst simultaneously possibly representing an omen or foreshadow of dark events to come.
