Huck Finn Response

Intro paragraph: In Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck, the protagonist, Huck, is greatly influenced by four people: Widow Douglas, Tom Sawyer, Pap, and Jim.

Body paragraph 1: WIDOW DOUGLAS: Widow Douglas affects Huck by giving him a sense of religion, education and a sense of wrong and right. Huck still thinks back to when he has to make a decision he goes over what is the right thing and how will it affect him and Jim. For example on page 2 “after supper she got out the bible and would teach Huck about Moses and Bulrushers.”

Body Paragraph 2: TOM SAWYER: Tom Sawyer affects Huck by giving him a sense of not quitting or giving up on adventurous and dangerous events. When he is with Jim, and Huck finds the snake on page 39 and decided to put it in Jim’s bed he thought to himself and said would Tom would do this.

Body Paragraph 3: PAP: Pap affects Huck by him by didn’t go to school, church, and is an alcoholic. Pap also told Huck said that it is alright to steal if you’re stealing for other people. Huck thought back to when he was little and Pap told him on page 49 “wasn’t harm to barrow things if you was meaning to pay them back, sometime.”

Body Paragraph 4: JIM: Jim affects Huck by giving him a sense of responsibility and made Huck act older. In chapter 11 Huck dresses up like a girl and goes into town and sees what the news about his death is and finds out that some guys are going to hunt down Jim and goes back and tells Jim.

Conclusion Paragraph: Without these key influences in his life, Huck would be a very different person.
