setting for Huck Finn

Separate

slavery

Slavery is one of the big things that separate people. In the story, whites think of blacks as animals, but mostly possessions.

Money, education, and a job

People with money, education, and a good job are always in the higher class. Like the Duke and the King, they treat themselves as better and more important than other people.

A feud

In chapter eighteen, the feud between the Granderfords and the Shepherdsons came in. When two people think that they are rite and will not give in, they call on there family members and they call on there family members and so on, things start to get bad and turns into a feud.


Together

Respect

People with slaves get respect through there slaves. Huck did not have very much respect for the widow.

The river

The river brought people together by rafts, canoes, and ferry boats.

  1. Eli,

    I like how you formatted your post. I think you did the best job when you talked about what things keep people seperate. Be careful though when you talk about money and upper class. Was that really who the King and Duke were? I did not think about the feud at all - good job.

    I am interested to hear you elaborate on Respect. Can you tell me what you mean more clearly or give me an example?

    Mrs. Amber
