huckleberry fin questions.

After reading what was going on in the last few chapters i was excited to see what chapters 11 through 20 were going to be about. i had figured that it was going to carry on with the fact that Huck had escaped from the cabin and was going to go off on his own. In previous chapters we found out that when huck left the cabin he went to an island and there he found Jim which was a slave that lived in the house where tom was living when the story opened up. Jim ran away because he thought that his owner was going to sell him and he didn't want that to happen so he just decided that if he left he wouldn't have to worry about any trouble. soon after this all happens tom and Jim decided to go into town and there they met a lady named Judith Loftus and she tells the boys a few things that were going on in their town. when Huck left he staged his own murder so that his father would not come looking for him. so now the police and the people of the town think that either jim killed him because jim just so happened to go missing the same day Huck died or that pap Hucks father killed him. throughout these few chapters a few things happen. one example is that the boys boat gets lost and they come across a ship of robbers, and they take one of their boats. huck leaves jim for a little and stays with a family who is very wealthy. this family was called the Grangerfords he finds out much about this people. that they have no rules, are no forced to go to school they all have their own personal slaves, and they have an on going feud with another family. this gets really bad that one day he sees one of the sons fighting and ends up dyeing and that was enough for Huck so he leaves and ends up meeting back up with Jim. this is a quick lay out of somethings that occur during chapters 11 - 20.

At first when i started reading this book i really didn't seem to like it very much. it was somewhat boring and just didn't seem to interest me. but as i kept reading this chapter it got much more interesting, and i got to learn more about who Huck was and about where he lived and about his life. through out these few chapters you learn who huck lives with when the story opens up. i also learned that his father was a drunk and did not really seem to care much about him. also you find out that huck has a best friend and his name is tom sawyer and they are different in many ways. we also find out that when Hucks father decides to come around, he captures Huck and takes him to a cabin in the woods and locks him in there. one day while his dad is out Huck manages to escape. this lead to tell us that there was going to be much more excitement that would be going on through the rest of they story.
