Level 5: Synthesis [characters]
9.) If you were the author of Huck Finn what would you change about his life?
There isn't anything I would change about his life. Everything that happened in his life, helped
him grow into what he has become. He has grown into a young man who knows right from wrong. He also know how to make good decisions.
Next I say I wouldn't change anything, because even though he disliked living with the widow. She fed him and nutured him and kept him clean. She also cared for him in a way that no one has ever cared for him before.
Also even though the way that pap treated him was horrible. The physical and mental abuse helped Huck progress into what he has become. He has become a stronger, smarter young man. When he faked his death to get away from his pap, that was smart as well as strong. He could've gotten into a lot of trouble if had gotten caught, he could have also been abused by his father if his father found out.
By him helping Jim to escape, he could have been locked up. It was a crime back then to help a slave to escape. Being as though they were both running away and he was not just helping A SLAVE to escape, that is more on his account. Huck has did many things that could have gotten him in alot of trouble.
Those are some of the things why I say I would not change anything in Huck's Life. Everything that happened in his life made him the type of person he has turned into. The caring that the widow has given him down to the physical and mental abus e given to him by his pap. Huck Finn has grown into a smarter and stronger young man.
10.) Writre a poem about the book.
Slaves, drama, fantasy's
All taken place in this book
If you don't believe me

Abuse and runnaway slaves
Thought they were dumb
Thought they were sick
Scams of deaths
Mistaken about who did it
Thought it was the slave
Then they got caught
Jim put away
Huck taken in
Changed on him for a minute
Then came to his senses
And realized what he did
Escaped again
Got caught by some thieves
Were forced to help them scam
Thieves got caught
Huck and Jim got in trouble as well

Dear.....
I've read this book called the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This book has a lot of different settinngs. This book involves a young boy who is going through problems with his low-life father. To get away from his father he faked his own death [[crazy right]]. Well anyway this boy faked his death and caused everyone to go around looking for his murderer, And get this this whole faking his death thing took place in his cabin. Thats right a log cabin with no windows a door Huck could not escape from and a chimney. That had a huge effect on the book and the rest of the settings.
