huckleberry finn, questions - last questions

Chapter 40-43

1. We learn that Jim has a very good heart. He thinks about others before himself when he risks his freedom for Tom.

2. The Doctor's speech made people don't hate Jim as much as they actually would. To be a doctor you needed (and still need) a high degree and people looked up to them. I think what he did was right in this situation.

3. Tom makes a necklace out of the bullet to show people how brave he is, and that he survived. It can also be kept as a memory for this big adventure he has been through.

4. Huck Finn decides to run away. It shows us that the society he lives in is not for him. He wants freedom to think and act like he wants. He has very strong opinions and that even makes it more difficult for him to live in the corrupt society.

5. The book would be very different if it was told in third person. I think having Huck as the narrator is good because you get a stronger relationship to the story, like you get more dragged in to it. What can be hard with it is that Huck's way to see things are deep. It might look easy, but it is actually very deep thoughts behind it. The hard part is really to understand the deep part of this book. The dialect is not the hard thing.
