The grapes of Wrath

Now I'm a little behind and I have only gotten through the first few chapters so far but I have to say I was pretty interested. I don't know weather to admire the main charecter or be afraid of him.(: He told the the truck driver who gave him a lift that he had been in prison for homocide but got off after four years for "being good." I am seriously doubting that even in that time frame you get off for murder that fast. If I'm correct he mentioned to the ex preacher that he was drunk and defending himself.....so maybe his charge was manslaughter? I really like the old preacher he is funny. I'm excited to find out what happened to the main charecter's family. Write more after I read more.

The Final blog for Hucklebberry Fin (done the right way) haha

I really like this book, you will find that its a slow read but well worth the time. I thought the relationship between Huck and Jim was interesting because they had grown very fond of one another without knowing it. The ending of the book was really cool because you just knew that Huck and Tom would have to be reunited by the conclusion. I just didn't expect the family Huck was joshing to be Tom Sawyer's family! I f i were a character at the point in the story when Tom and Huck are preparing to sill Jim back, (I would most definitely) be a good guy lol but I probably would have done the same as Huck and just let Tom do his thing.
I think the setting was important because it teaches us about life in the early south through experience and takes it from a fun point of view. The scene in which the "king and "duke" put on a play ( The royal nonesuch) to scam residents kind of reminded me of the "Royal Wedding" scene from Lemony Snicket's series of unfortunate events where all the protagonists escape. This part is unrealistic in a humorous way because its hard to imagine two scam artists just walking into a town and fooling everyone in sight.
I took the book for face value and I remember reading past all the words Tom used to describe the different steam boats in the dialogue. Does anybody know what a Texas is? ha ha(: I was intrigued by the issues brought up involving slavery. People were really brought up believing that all blacks were lower than Whites and were pieces of property. I mean I already knew this about the time period but its interesting to comprehend what the price is on a human life. Huck struggled with what he was tought is right. I think he could not stick to what he was tought because he knew in the very pit of his being that sometimes what is commonly told to us by authority can be wrong. In the beggining of the novel the author jokingly states that any readers who attempt to find a moral will be punished. I agree with him. The only thing close to a moral in this story is the idea that common knowledge on ethics can be improved. The purpose of this novel was to entertain readers and to educate readers about the fabric this time period was really made of.

still the adventures of Huckleberry Finn

So this is actually a pretty good book. Its an adventure based on luck with a wide variety of characters. I like Huck alot, he is wiser than his years and seems to have an answer to everything. I read for hours last night just caught up in the storyline. Theyre is always something happening. One charecter i really could not handle was Huck's dad i kinda wish he would just get hit by a car(: I dont have many complaints but do have to admit that Jim's dialect slows me down and it would be nice if he talked less. ( no disrespect intended.) Oh and I almost forgot to mention the lady in the cabin whom Huck goes to visit about a quarter of the way throught the book. I like her, she was funny... Oh and I got a kick out of Huck and Jim stealing the band of murderer's boat and loote. I sound like that Martin minute guy off of tv. Maybe its called a Waltin Minute? oh well.

The adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Yeah...... Having a hard time making it through the first few chapters of this book. Not that I'm a bad reader, I just do not find the beginning interesting whatsoever. I do like the main character though. He makes me laugh with the junk he gets into. (: Write more later? Hope I'm doing this right....
