Please read chapters 1-5 of Huck Finn for Monday. If you were unable to check a book out from the library, there are several free electronic editions you can find online. One is available here, but there are several other options online.
Although understanding the plot is important, looking at how the topics below help to create our understanding of characters is even more significant.
I suggest that you mark these topics in your text (or on a post-it). If you want to be extra fancy, you can also color-code these different ideas in your notes.
Superstition
The role of the river
Appeal to father figures
Women (and their influence on Huck)
Religion
Education
Class Consciousness
Racial Identity
Self identity
Clothing
Money/Wealth/Acquisitiveness (wanting to acquire stuff)
Deception
Search for Approval
Protectiveness
