Huck finn is influenced negativly and positivly by sawyer in many ways. one ways is influenced is by when he "says do you reckon tom sawyer would ever go by this thing." chap. xii,pg 50,par 4. i think this is a negative way because jim told him that they a should leave the ship alone cause its gonna cause trouble. But jim went on any way thinkin of tom and almost got notice maybe killled by some possible murderes. They also lost their skiff. It was posive because they got a couple new items but was it worth it.

He was influenced positivly by widow douglas because she is the one who inrolled him in school. She had him on the right path. as in doing his school work he wasnt swearing or doing drugs.that s how window douglas positvely influenced huck. ex. this shook me up considerable i didnt want to go back to the widows being all cramped and sivilized as they call it. chap vi ,pg 19, par 2

Pap influence huck negativly because he a drunk and thatvwhat a good roll model should be teaching their kid. He was beatin huck constantly for no reason when he got drunk which made run away and paln his on death.ex but by and by pap got too handy with his hick'ry chap vi, pg 18, par 4

jim influenced him positvley because he has been helping huck survive on the island and everthing. he has also been telling him good advice like dont go on the boat, but he is soft spoken he doesnt stick by what he says to huck for ex. but jim dead against it at first. he says: "i doan want to go fool'n long er no wreck. chap xii,pg 50, par 3

All in all hick is influenced by many people in posive and negative ways.

Reader Response 1: Huck Finn (1 - 6)

Why looky here. There was a free n there, from Ohio; a mulatter,most white as a white man. (ch.VI,p.20, par 3). Theirs a free black man that is good as a white man even though his skin color is different oh who.

what i think about this quote is that it is a racial slure. i also think that pa thinks that blacks shouldnt be free. the next thing i think is that he think that white people is better than black people. When really their equal cuase skin color doesn't determine personality. Lastly i think that that it is good that they dont have to be slaves and can do things when they want to just live life basically. But the sad thing is that rasism still exist in schools, jobs, and many other places.

I think that mark twain really dont believe that blacks should be slaves. i also think that he dont believe that white people is better than blacks. he just created a character like pa to show satire. Also he made pa to be ignorant and racist and drunk, and a unfit parent for a reason. But this character is amking the book interesting. ..........
