The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn response

    The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, authorized by Mark Twain was a great novel in my opinion. This book in particular and as a whole contains and teaches many lessons and themes for the reader(s). Huckfinn taught lessons on slavery and sacrifice, which stood out most to me in the novel. Two of the main characters, Huckleberry and Jim had a rather unique, genuine friendship. Huckleberry sacrificed a lot to help Jim. In some instances, He even lied for Jim in order to keep him safe. In the time period of the novel, slavery was a prominent thing. It was also rather audacious for a white male to become close with a black slave. Jim and Huck had a very priceless bond, they taught each other and also learned from one another. I also admired how Mark Twain did not camouflage aspects of slavery. For the most part, Mark Twain delivered the honest truth of slavery toward African Americans. All in all, I feel that this novel is worth the read and all students should have the opportunity to read such a great book that has so much valuable information.

1. In previous pages, Kien could not seem to get his writing together, but now his novel seemed to have its own logic and flow. What do you think caused Kien to be able to write now rather than before? Do you think something inspired him? If so, what? 2. Phan promised that he'd go back to assist the saigonese that he shared the crater with, but it started to rain and darkness fell. Therefore, he was not able to locate him. Have you ever been promised something and that promise wasn't fulfilled? How did it make you feel? 3. Phan says that whenever he sees a flood he thinks of his cruel stupidity of how he left the saigonese to suffer. Have you ever came across anything that reminds you of something in your past? 4. Would you rather prolong the life of a injured person or kill them if they asked you to. Why? 5. On page 86, it says that Kien's mouth was dry and his breath was foul. What could you conclude about Kien? 6. "Dying and surviving was separated by a th...

Introduction

     Hello! My name is Travia Renée Wilson. My birthday is January 13, 2000; I am a Capricorn. I tend to seperate myself from people. I am not very vocal. I'm more of an observer. In my unoccupied time I like to shop, spend time with my dearest and family, and also travel. I am currently enrolled at Ben C. Rain High School as a junior for the 2016-2017 school year. I am very excited and overwhelmed with joy to be a junior this year. For me, this year will be one of my most important school years due to me trying to make a name for myself academically. One of my mini goals is to be valedictorian or salutatorian of my senior class.To accomplish my goal, I will be putting my maximum amount of effort into everything I do. In the near future, I would like to persue a career in pharmacy. Therefore, my main priority is continuing to have a strong work ethic. I am very focused and ready to tackle everything that is thrown my way this year and beyond!

Blog Post Assignment 11

Dear advice column,  My name is Grant. I've been asked to teach a young man by the name of Jefferson to be a man. I know this sounds ironic, but this isn't just a small lesson to be taught. Jefferson was falsely accused for a crime and was called a hog in court. Jefferson is no hog and his nannan wants him to know that before he dies. I really don't know what to say or how approach him but I'd hate to let his nannan down. He really believes that he is a hog which makes it more difficult for me, they've brainwashed him! How can I help Jefferson? What should I do? What should I say? And how should I say it? Please reply!
