-I agree with Kyana there is some irony between Huck dying and Jim disappearing. -commenting on Ashley and Kyana
-I agree with everyone that said that Jim was an easy suspect because of his race. -commenting on Logan and etc.

*Pap ran away even tho he didn't do anything because Huck died in his cabin and thought they would come after him. I think he knows that his actions caused Huck to "die".
* I do think there is some irony with Jim disappearing when Huck "died" and they found each other in the woods.  -Commenting on Ashley
* I agree Gabi because the only reason Pap is so worked up about the possibility of Huck being taken from him is because Huck goes and gets money for his alcoholic ways. -To Gabi]]> 2016-12-07 17:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142354993 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142355011 Just because Huck is kind to Jim, doesn't take away from him being inherently racist. Their relationship is used for the readers' benefit.
I liked what Ashlin said about the hyperbole of death; that would increase the effect of the satire.
@Logan Brou, maybe the bad luck is emphasized bc of Jim's place in society.]]> 2016-12-07 17:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142355011 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142355036 2016-12-07 17:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142355036 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142355051 Huckleberry disguised himself as a girl in order to obtain information and if people were still looking for him because he was not near civilization.]]> 2016-12-07 17:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142355051 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142355061 -Huck reflected his father when he stole things from others.

I think that fear goes with ambition because Huck and Finn have so much fear of getting caught, but that strives them to continue to do stuff that creates fear.

-I concur with the comment about satirizing of the justice system
due to the likely conviction of Jim due to his race. 

-Samantha noted that social Darwinism plays a part in the book which I do believe is true due to the prevalence of race playing a part in the book.

-I believe that the statement made about the search driven by ransom is completely true as people are selfish and pursue things that will benefit them.]]> 2016-12-07 17:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142355315 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142355324 Being the time period, it was easy for the people to go after Jim rather than further investigate the crime.

-I like what Philip said, "It's survival of the fittest." Huck and Jim are doing what they can to survive, and we witness other people doing this at the end of chapter 12 as well.

-I like Alex's question about someone's psychological state as they run away. I'm sure that Huck is becoming drained and tired from running away, as well as Jim.

I agree with Gabi about picking up on what your parents teach.
I dont think Huck was homesick bc he had nothing to come home too really.
Did Huck have any other people looking for him because they cared or just for money?

Huck is starting to pick up on Tom's courageousness and his father's habits.
Hope's Question- You never know what happens when its just two people in a room 
Garrett's- I think that Huck will get tired of always being on the run, but since he always searches for adventure.
Superstition conversation- I think that Twain did this because he is trying to set the scene and able to understand what they believe in. 
They don't want to get their hopes up.
Never really sit and enjoy life always worrying.
Good point Ashley made about Huck being a hypocrite. I agree with this statement because Huck hated the way his father was always manipulating people and stealing. 
Huck manipulated Jim by using Tom's name to get him to go do something. 
I disagree with Dara, because Huck and Jim are both in the same position right now in the story and they both have to run from the past and stay hidden. 
What is the line between right and wrong and who draws that line??
Mrs. Hebert's level 3--- Yes there is a difference.. Sort of see it. Religion based off a story, superstition based on weird signs of natural, rare, occurrences. Biological circumstances. 
Huck is starting to learn to become self-dependent correctly. 
Manipulation point??????? about him dressing up as a girl and lying about who he was TWICE!!!! 
Civilized v. Criminal (idk the word to put)...
Racism is focused on it in the book to help set the scene... ? 
Dara's quote!!! YESSS 
Satirizes racism because it shows that people actually thought it was okay to discriminate and be rude to people just because of color... 
I don't think he did agree with slavey.... At ashley's question..

Society has changed and families have a different structure than in the 19th century. As society has gotten more progressive, alternate families have become normal in our society, rather than solely relying on the mother-father-child structure of prior centuries.

Garrett's level 3 question raised a good point- when does the fun of running away wear off? It seems so exciting at first, being able to escape the harsh truths of reality to live an alternate life free of the labels cast upon us. After a while, though, the adrenaline will wear away, leaving despair and hopelessness. After days of living off the land and hiding from those searching for you, maintaining the fantasy you have created, stress sets in. You long for the comforts of modern society. You wish you had a family-cooked meal. Or a family at all. This calls for moderation. Instead of escaping your problems in a physical sense, do so mentally. Find a hobby or some way to express why you want to run away and create something from it. Be productive. In the end, this serves a better end than running away and casting a shroud over the problems that first plagued you and will continue to plague you until you face them.

I like the conversation about taking risks. Ever since Huck was on the run, he quit being so imaginative and carefree as he was with Tom. He had to maintain the idea that he was dead, so he had to take calculated ricks to ensure the fantasy stayed intact. That's why he quit acting so foolish and started calculating the methods it took to survive on an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. He learned from his mistakes by not letting smoke be seen from across the river and by being careful of the island's animals and overall environment. Through his running away, Huck has grown towards being an intelligent young man rather than the ignorant boy he was before.]]> 2016-12-07 17:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142360633 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142360706 I really like Hope's level 3 question.

I feel as if Huck is moving away from his father in some ways. Sure he uses what his father taught him (stealing & hunting) but he has morals and his father doesn't. His father would have left the robbers to die in a heartbeat whereas Huck had a mental breakdown about leaving them behind and even went through the trouble of sending someone to save them]]> 2016-12-07 17:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142360760 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142360825 I agree with Dara that even if you are raised a certain way, you can change your opinion]]> 2016-12-07 17:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142360825 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142361223 Kollene's comment about Huck and Jim was on point.

For instance, Huck actually felt bad for all the people who truly liked him and are dearly missing him. Even with this fact, he knows he would have to remain in hiding and deal with the burden of guilt upon him. ]]> 2016-12-07 17:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142361455 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142361515 I agree with logan's comment about longing for society again but I also wonder if Huck does. He was already basically living off the land with his father for a while. The only difference now is that he no longer has his father around to abuse him. I also want to bring up the question: What if the problem was society. How do you fix that besides getting away. Maybe the best way to do so is to only leave for a while-to find yourself, but if that doesn't work then what else is there to do?]]> 2016-12-07 17:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142361515 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142361563 @hope for saying the superstitions was to bring out the culture in the south.

When Huck visits town, he talks about bad luck with the woman he talks to. Yet he had good luck by finding out that the townsfolk were coming to the island at midnight. Because of this, he was able to escape with Jim on time.

Many children tend to follow their parents and household beliefs, and even look up to their parents as role models. That being said, the inevitable irony of Huck following in the footsteps of a man in which he hated and resented, truly highlights this concept of parents being a primary source of children's actions and beliefs.]]> 2016-12-07 17:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142365003 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142365133 "sivilized"]]> 2016-12-07 17:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142365133 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142365171 Most of your views and beliefs come from your parents and the people you are around.

The only problem with that is that you would have to go against your own beliefs. And it may not have been so much so in the time the novel takes place but, in a society in which you will never be perfect to all of society and one side will always be against you... How do you conform to "match society." Political views for example-- If you conform to very conservative views, the other side still has differing opinions... If you conform to very liberal views, the same thing happens. There is never any way to please everyone at once so how does one go about it?]]> 2016-12-07 17:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142365519 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142365656 Kaylin explained that racism was used in this novel, because of the time period. ]]> 2016-12-07 17:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142365656 https://padlet.com/tara_hebert/la97ga7qpxi9/wish/142366045 In response to Logan's comment about my comment about Logan's comment about my comment- The circumstances vary by which this is the best method for change.
