Chapters 26- 30
So far in the novel a lot of stuff has happened. Joanna Wilkes questions Huck. Then Huck feels bad about "tricking" such nice women. So he sneaks into the room of the con men and takes the money and takes all $6000 with him. Then Huck hides the money inside Peter Wilkes coffin. It is then, by strange circumstances buried with Wilkes. The con men split up a slave family and liquidate the land. Mary Jane is crying about the separation of the slave family. Huck feels sad for her so he tells her the entire truth on accident. Huck makes her "go to a sick friend's house" for the night. We can tell that Huck has a little crush here. He even reminisces that he still thinks about her. Then the coolest thing happens, the real Wilkes brothers arrive from England. The whole time afterwards the 2 Wilkes brothers and the 2 con men attempt to prove to the lawyer who is who, but in the end everyone goes after all the men. When they get to the grave of Peter Wilkes, they find the money hidden there. With all the ruckus, Huck and Jim sneak away. However, the 2 cons find Huck and Jim. The old con man is pissed at Huck for leaving them and almost chokes Huck. Then the 2 con men argue saying the other left the money in the grave, but they get over their quarrel and sleep.
Dear Mark Twain,
In class we are reading your novel Huckleberry Finn. In these times there are many people that say that the book is controversial and insulting to some people. They wish it banned. Others respect your work and say that any changes to it would deprive students of what you wanted them to notice. Your intricate writing and use of symbolism, the concept of racism, journey, etc... help shed light at the times at hand. I like how you show the world through the eyes of a semi-innocent young boy and show how he matures through out the story. Another thing I like is how you build up the conscience of Huck slowly throughout the story, and then have him take action following his morals, logic, and conscience to do what is right. This is seen when he notices that humanity is despicable, when the con artists trick the townspeople for the play and the townspeople trick the rest of the town into getting tricked by the con artist. Then his morals kick in when he decides to help out the nice ladies in getting what they deserve back again. This coming of age story, along with the explanation of existence in that time period, are what I believe makes your novel, Huckleberry Finn, a great American classic.
