Quote response 3 huck finn P. 197-214

""Sold him?" I says, and begun to cry; "why, he was my nigger, and that was my money. Where is her?-I want my nigger.""
(P.206)

Huck has realized that the men were con-men and he has been tricked. He is worried sick that his partner - Jim, has been taken, and they have been getting tricked this entire time. Despite their precautions, and Huck using his chance to escape, he finds out Jim has been sold. The man who orignally was going to sell him for the reward of 200$, sold Jim to another man for 40$, and now someone else has him.

"We blowed out a cylinder head."
(P.211)

Since Huck has arrived at the house where Jim is supposedly being held, he meets the white lady of the house. Her name is Aunt Sally. She thinks that Huck is her nephew, and he starts to play along with it all to secure being safe. She is wondering where he has been, and he tells her that something on the boat-(the cylinder head has broken.)

"I read considerable to Jim about kings and dukes and earls and such,..." (P.83)

Huck tells Jim a whole lot about kings and dukes, and he tells him stories. Jim doesn't know anything about the stories at all. It's interesting the questions he asks to Huck, because he seems confused all the time, but almost gasped at the fact of some of the parts of the stories.

In chapter fifteen, the fog comes in when they are drifitng, but Jim and Huck drift different directions. They end up finding each other, but JIm flips out and gets angry. He than makes up with Jim, but he feels bad about hurting Jim with the things he said to him. "...and I wouldn't done that one I'd 'a' knowed it would make him feel that way." (P.91)

First Huckleberry Response

"He said he reckoned a body could reform the old man with a shotgun, maybe, but he didn't know no other way."

The pap in this previous chapter (V,) has obviously shown that he is a drunk still. He has stolen Huck's dollar to buy whiskey, an dhe has ended up injail on a "drunken spree." Throughout the return of Pap, Huck is scared. He used to be beat by him even when he wasn't drunk. After this drunk incident, Pap is sent to stay with the judge-hopefully to beome a chnaged man, but it doesn't seem to work.

"Everybody said it was a real beautiful oath, and asked Tom if he got it out of his own head. He said, some of it, but the rest was out of pirate-books and robber-books, and every gang that was high-toned had it." (P.19)

Now that they are starting the gang, and what they expect out of it, you see the group of kids do not really know what they are getting into. Obviously, Huck is influenced by what he reads, and now shares it with the whole gang. I thinkt his line might be of some foreshadowing that because he doesn't know much, and they are all talking tough about what to do, that somethign real bad could end up happening to the group of them.

Emily Dickinson response #1

"There's a certain slant of light, on winter afternoons, that opresses, like the weight of cathredral tunes."

I picked this quote because I didn't really understand it. Opressor means to keep down severly with unjust force, but Emily Dickinson compares this to cathedral tunes, which are happy, and fill up the church with a loud melodic tune. The oppesion n this context though, is the "slant light," on winter afternoons. The beauty-maybe-of the light in winter afternoons are as powerful in sight, as oppresive a cathredal tune will take on you in a church.

"This is my letter to the world, That never wrote to me,"

This is a quote form the same poem actually-But this quote set the tone of the poem for me. It is kind of depressing and angry. She is angry throughout the course of this poem. She is ticked off at life, and using metaphors to express her problems at hand.

Young Goodman Brown Response

"Faith kept me back a while."

The traveler man is telling Goodman Brown that he is late. Young Goodman Brown simply replies witht his quote. He is nervous, this random man is suddenly speaking to him, and Brown doesn't knwo who it is at all, he thinks it might be the devil.

" 'The devil!' screames the pious old lady."

The old ladyw ho wee all know is bad in her ways, gets very scared. She sees the devil, but she already supports him and knows of him. He replies by asking her if he knows her,w ith an obvious hint of her worshiping him. She than gives in fast, and explains to him that she is kind of evil, and goes the evil ways. But the fact that she was startled to beign with struck me as a bit of irony, seeing as how she supports him, it would be weird that she would be so afraid to see him-almost as if to have not really beeleived in him in the first place.

paper topic choice

3. Look closely at either “Young Goodman Brown” or “The Minister’s Black Veil” and identify the dominant tone (the author’s attitude) of the short story. Then set about answering how Hawthorne goes about achieving this tone. When writing this paper, you may find it helpful to discuss literary devices and techniques such as foreshadowing, irony, figurative language, narrative pace, etc. Please include a number of quotations to back up your answer.

#1 #51 AND #52 Walt Whitman

"The Spotted Hawk Swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering."

I think the hawk represents some aspect of Nature. The Hawk complains of his pointless talking and his just hanging around, as opposed to doing things mroe important. He is talking about the useless points in his life I htink. (?)

"The past and present wilt - I have fill'd them, emptied them. And proceed to fill my next fold of the future."

He has done a lot in life, he has dealt with past problems and future problems. H ehas to keep working in order to have a good future, and he has to deal with his problems. He makes mistakes, but he fixes them.

Hawthorne #1

The Minister's Black Veil

1st quote- "...kind and loving, though unloved , and dimly feared; a man apart from men, shunned in their health and joy."

This quote kind of struck me. It is a bit sad. It is discussing Mr. Hooper's life and how thigns have been since the murders. He never really is able to come back to the real world. This black veil hides everything. People do not really beocme his friends, he doesn't have a wife, and his life is quiet and full of solitude.

2nd quote- " 'If I hide my face for sorrow, there is cause enough,' he merely replied; 'and if I cover it for secret sin, what mortal might not do the same?' "

This quote was interesitng to me because he kind of lets the girl know that he has his veil on for a good reason. It might be something sinful in the past but any man would do it if he had the experience that he did. It is on for a good reason, and not for attention or for annoyance.
