Post 1: Huck Finn Response (CH.1-CH.12)

Huck Finn is a teenage boy. Huck was living with the Widow Douglas because his father has not been seen for a year or more. His Father is a drunk, anytime he has money he spends it on alcohol. Then Huck's Pap is in Huck's room one day when he comes home. And he wants Huck to stop going to school, and stop reading books. And his Pap wants him to give him the money that Judge Thatcher's is keeping for him. Huck does not want to give the money to his father because he will spend it all. Huck's father kidnaps him and they go to a cabin. Then Huck escapes and makes it look like he was killed. Jim is Miss. Watson's slave. Then Jim runs away because he heard that Miss. Watson was going to sell him. So they find each other. Huck dressed up as a girl and went up to this lady's house and pretended to be Sarah Williams. He just wanted to know what was going on in town.





I really like this book because it is interesting and fun to read. I just don't like the way Huck's dad treats him. I really don't dislike anything about this book. I don't really think that it is that much like Of Mice and Men. But Lennie and Huck both run away.
