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.

Entry 5

  My favorite tale from the Canterbury Tales was the Miller's tale. The Miller's tale was very humorous. What made it even funnier was that he was drunk. The humor made the tale not seem boring and dreadful to read. I felt like I got through this tale the fastest because of the humor, it was easy to follow, and simply the best tale. I did not care for the other tales as much due to them not being as funny or interesting. Therefore, I dread reading them and did not have as good as an understanding as I did with the Miller's tale.

Geoffrey Chaucer Summary

  Geoffrey Chaucer, poet and writer, has been known as the father of literature as well as the prime shaper of the English language. He has also been recognized for his achievement of being the greatest poet of medieval England, although, his work is not always understood. Chaucer's poetry also reflects many sources such as: Latin, French, and Italian, and also folk tales, sermons, rhetorical textbooks, and ribald jokes. His poems are narrated by naive persona and often left unfinished which allows the reader to become creative. His use of narrators is also key in his works; Chaucer's attitude can never be depicted because he stands behind his narrators which makes his narrators very effective.

Blog Post Assignment 7

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...
