Chris Manguno AP English III Huck Finn Questions April 3, 2014 1. Describe the Widow Douglas.? How does Huck respond to the Moses story?? What does this tell the reader about Huck's character? Widow Douglas is a kind woman who has pretty much adopted Huck, she lets him live in her house. She prays a lot, before meals and in closets. She brought up Huck like similarly to how Pharos?s Daughter did for Moses. Huck Finn was interested in the story of Moses until he found out the man had been dead for a long time. This shows that Huck believes that only people living in the present are worth his time, and doesn?t honor the past as much as he honors himself. 2. Discuss superstition as a motif.? Provide examples.

Huckleberry Finn

Huck: Huck?s distance from mainstream society makes him skeptical of the world around him and the ideas it passes on to him. Huck?s instinctual distrust and his experiences as he travels down the river force him to question the things society has taught him. According to the law, Jim is Miss Watson?s property, but according to Huck?s sense of logic and fairness, it seems ?right? to help Jim. Huck?s natural intelligence and his willingness to think through a situation on its own merits lead him to some conclusions that are correct in their context but that would shock white society. For example, Huck discovers, when he and Jim meet a group of slave-hunters, that telling a lie is sometimes the right course of action.

Conscience
Huck
Big River

4 According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the definition of conscience is the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one's conduct or motives. People are born with a good conscience and no prejudices. Prejudice and hate for people of different race and color is taught and not inherent, which means it can also be altered. This change in human conscience is prevalent in the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain. At the beginning of the novel, Huck?s conscience is undeveloped and stereotypical of an average male from the south. As the story progresses, Huck?s conscience and view of society begins to evolve and he ultimately rejects the master slave idea and begins to move towards equality.
