The following questions need to be answered by 4/29. Please have them typed and turned in to Mr. Horvath by that date.
1. Why did Twain include the "Notice" on the opening page?
2. Each stage of Huck's moral growth culminates in a crisis of conscience and a decision to assist Jim. What are these stages and decisions; when do they occur; and what are their consequences?
3. What are the consequences of Huck and Jim going past the mouth of the Ohio River in the fog?
4. How do the king and duke impact Huck's and Jim's life on the raft, their quest for freedom, and the novel's movement?
5. Is there any justice in the fact that Tom is wounded in the final chase through the swamp?
6. The story is told by fourteen-year-old Huck, who admits to elaborate lies and fabrications. Can we trust him? Can we accept his version of things or must we read between the lines to get the story?
