huck responce for 92-108

As you can see Huck and Jim are extreamly close. what does it mean that he is so close to him at these times? it is not social atiquite to be such good friends with a slave. this shows a level of maturity on Hucks part and that there is no difffence between races and children can see that if they have not been taught to. Huck is trying to free a run away slave who has taught him alot in his life. this show that you can learn form anyone the problem with people is that they are to quick to judge and somethimes the littleist kids can see that the best because they dont know how to judge yet.

floating 71-91 responce

there are many interesting things in these chapters that symbollolize different things to coem in the book. for example how Huch and Tom go on an adventure. Adventures are also a main theme of the book. During their adventure they are floating down the river. floting down the river can symbolize not having controle. this is what i infer from this because the other day...well most of this year i have felt like i was floating, not able to controle or stop anything, so it is slightly ironic that we are now reading about it. this is how i realate to this. During this chapter they also live off the land and really fend for them selves, which can symblize growing or being independent or self relient, also somethings we have been doing this term. In the end of this chapter they loose the raft, it floats away and they are unable to retrieve it. this could mean that they still are not as responisble as they think and have learning to do. it could also just be a new chalenge presented to them and depending on how they deal with it will determin how mature and self relient they are. it could also mean they can gain more controle or their lives becaus what they were floating on is no longer presnt. this could also mean the opposite thing which is that they have no controle but it depends on whre you are coming from.

Emily Dickinson, poems under heading “Day 1”

~Would you label Dickinson as Transcendental? Why or why not?
- i think that Emily Dickenson is a transcendentalist. she is a transedentalist because she says that she has pain in a few of her poems but she pushes threw it. this shows that she is self relient and strong within. she also states that no one can have power over her which shows that she strong and self relient. these are all qualities that transedentalist posess.

- This is just saying how the past drifts aways and compairs it to wilting. the past melts/ wilts away as it get further into the past. The present will become the past and so the cycle is on going.
