Twain is showing how people have the mindset of do anything you want till Sunday and on that day only you must be good, people either don't know the doctrine or they just don't care. ]]> 2018-04-24 01:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cox_ale000/tmzz275oblwg/wish/254657115 cox_ale000 https://padlet.com/cox_ale000/tmzz275oblwg/wish/254658606 Twain uses understatement for this satire because he says, it would be a wicked thing to do on Sunday, when in actuality it is a wicked thing to do ever. ]]> 2018-04-24 02:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cox_ale000/tmzz275oblwg/wish/254658606 cox_ale000 https://padlet.com/cox_ale000/tmzz275oblwg/wish/254659533 This develops Huck's character into one that has no problem doing things that are wrong so long as they don't contradict anything hes determined for himself. It also shows that his character doesn't ask questions about the things hes taught, he doesn't want to know why or anything deep, he would prefer no rules at all. ]]> 2018-04-24 02:11:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cox_ale000/tmzz275oblwg/wish/254659533 cox_ale000 https://padlet.com/cox_ale000/tmzz275oblwg/wish/254660234 2018-04-24 02:16:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cox_ale000/tmzz275oblwg/wish/254660234 cox_ale000 https://padlet.com/cox_ale000/tmzz275oblwg/wish/254660309 "Some young birds come along, flying a yard or two at a time and lighting.
