Reader Response #6: Find a Poet

I like William Shakespeare poems because, there different then regular poems that people write. His vision in poems are creative and unique, which makes him different from others. I have read two Shakespeare books,and to me there very good. The poems that Shakespeare wrote were Venus and Adonis, Romeo & Juliet, The Rape Of Lucrece, and etc. To me I think that he is a very good poet, and his work of poems should still live on, to fulfill his legacy of making poems.

The poem that I can kind of relate to that Shakespeare created was Romeo & Juliet.

Huck Finn Exam 1 (1-23): Essay

De’Mario Robertson

Mr. Hughes
English 10 4th hour
31 October 2007

In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck faces a number of moral dilemmas, in this number of dilemmas, Huck problems are known to be tricky if you put yourself in the position he was in at the moment. Huck is known to get himself out of these problems and turn them around into a sort of “I’m glad I’m not in his shoes” kind of position.

A moral dilemma that Huck faced was when he and Jim were riding down the river on there Raft and they came to a big problem. The 1st problem they faced was that they were lost. The second problem they faced was that they could not find the city of Cairo. The details to the problem they faced was that when Huck got off of the Raft on this unfamiliar city or land, he didn’t know that he was going to come across a even bigger problem. Huck did not realize that what he was about to face was an even bigger problem. Huck coming onto the land was depending on if Jim was to be turned in as a run away slave, or be killed.
I think that Huck made a good decision by not turning Jim in to those slave catcher men. Huck knew that if he turned in Jim, he would face either a punishment for his actions of running away or even be killed depending on were they were located. So Huck’s decision saved a man’s life, and helped him keep his pride knowing that he had done well in Jim’s eyes.
Even though Huck was feeling sort of mixed up because he didn’t know whether to turn Jim or turn himself in and let everyone know that he was still alive, I think that he still made a good and courageous decision, because most of the kids his age at his time would have never thought to run away from there parent or guardian. Huck was smart enough to know that when something going wrong you need to get yourself out of that position as soon as possible.

Reader Response 3: Huck Finn (14-18)

Reader Response

1. The things that impress Huck in the Granger ford’s house are all the cleanliness and unique furniture and basic lifestyle they have in the house. Another thing that’s impressing to Huck is the poetry and articles he finds in the 15 year old girl room. He is amazed at how good she write, but disturbed that it’s all about death and how there are pictures, obituaries, and other death related things in the poetry. It shows that he’s very interested in the lifestyle they live in which to him is perfect.


2. One of the books that were special that caught Huck’s eye was the big family bible full of pictures, and one was “Pilgrim’s Progress,” about a man that left his family it didn’t say why. He was interested

Reader Response 2: Huck Finn (7 - 13)

The way Huck is influenced by tom sawyer is because there both young and they can understand another. Tom sawyer is suppose to be Huck’s best friend, so if you have a best friend your best friend should be able to listen to the things you have to go threw. Your best friend should be the one that’s helping to get into stuff and helping you get out of things. Tom sawyer is one of those best friends who gets you into trouble and persuades you to do thing that you know is wrong but do it anyway. But then he is a friend that stays with you even though you know you might get into trouble.

The way Widow Douglas influences Huck is by taking care of him while his father is out and about. “The Widow Douglas, she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me”. Widow helps Huck by providing him with shelter and other good life living. But Huck did not like the fact that widow was so strict. But because widow Douglas was so strict it helped Huck to be a very strong and smart boy.

The way pap was an influence on Huck is because he showed Huck how to be strong and wise and how to do man things like carry loads of food and make a camp fire. But the again pap was kind of a bad influence on Huck because he showed Huck the bad ways of life such as stealing and being drunk which is not a good example when your a kid.

The way Jim was an influence on pap is because he showed him how to do things such as make a shelter, camp fire, food, boat, and other materials while your outside in the wilderness. Jim also was kind of a bad influence because they stole things that weren’t there’s, but Jim put it in a way to say that it was borrowing instead of stealing so if you borrowed it would not be such a bad thing technically. Jim has been taking care of Huck so technically he’s not a bad person, but they will be punished for there wrong doing.

Reader Response1: Huck Finn ( 1-6 )

Tom Sawyer- "Now we'll start this band of robbers and call it Tom Sawyer's Gang. Everybody that wants to join has got to take an oath, and write his name in blood." . . . . " And if anybody that belonged to the bad told the secrets, he must have his throat cut, and then have his carcass burnt up and the ashes scattered all around, and his name blotted off the list with blood and never mentioned again by the gang, but have a curse put on it and be forgot, forever."(ch. 2, p.15, par 6)



The quote to me means like Tom sawyer was a big influence on huck. Tom was suppose to be a huck's be friend. he was not mentioned in the book alot but the parts that he were in was big. Such as the par when him and huck were sneaking around and nessing with big jim. That part made a big influence because that showed how him and characteristics were in the book.

Mark Twain's opninon on the quote was that he thought that making the characters in the book how they are would show you how real life experirences are. The abussive parents part in the book was big because it shows that despite how huck's father abused him in many ways he still kept his pride and head and moved on. Mark Twain was showing a lesson and a moral in the book and quote's.
