the last chapters of Huck Finn

In the last chapters of Huck Finn you see how to tom getting Jim free is a advancer but doesn’t mean any thing for real but we are talking about someone’s freedom. I think for Huck’s age he did the best he could do but at times could have been better to help Jim. Huck who has been brought up in a society that slavery is acceptable and there is no respect for black this is a good ending and means Huck is a good person. But for the way the book ends Huck does not even tack notices that he helped Jim so it is also a bad ending for Huck and Jim as much as it is a good ending for there relationship. It is a good end to there journey down river in which Huck makes many moral decisions whether or not to help Jim which is good for there relationship but proves not strong enough at the end of the book.

how huck treats jim

Huck starts to treat Jim like a black person of that era he treats Jim like Jim is nothing because he dose not chare about Jim. Huck is fine with Jim on the raft because no one else is around. But when people are around Huck treat Jim like crap.

how man can be cruel

“Human being can be awful cruel to one another”
Huck says this when he sees the King and Duke after they have been tar and feathered. This is odd for Huck to thank this about people who just traded away Jim. It is also odd because they brought this on to them selves by wanting to get rich by doing the least amount of work and in such a low down way. Huck is being vary ignorant to what these people have been doing to innocent people. He thinks the king and duke are just good people doing wrong but they are bad people after Huck first saved them they did not thank them but wanted Jim and Huck too be there servants this is not what good people do.

Huck helps Jim

When Jim is caught Huck has a decision to make in wither to help Jim or not. This is a hard decision the make for Huck. In the end Huck decides to help Jim. His plan is simple, he will make the duke and the king think Jim was his slave and he must get Jim back. The Duke tolled Huck they sold Jim and a fake person they sold him to, but Huck know who the real person is. The duke thinks that is the last he will have to deal with Huck. Huck dose this because the finds that Jim is a true friend and it is not right to leave a friend in trouble and that Jim would do the same for Huck. It is the hardest decision Huck has made in the book and you see how he thinks not as a boy but as a man for he is standing up for what he thinks is right.

the king and Duke

The king and Duke find that a rich man has died and that his relatives in England are to come and clam the estate. So the king and duke pretend to be the relatives and are collecting the money and the estate. Of what we know of the king and duke this is one of the worst thing they have done. They are nothing but cheat and only care about them selves and money. The difference between Huck and the king and duke is that Huck sees the morality to some degree but the king and duke just what to get rich with out having to work for it and do not care how they hurt or how. Huck at least has a sense of right and wrong.

Huck Finn ch. 12-15

Huck wants to help the men on the wreck because he feels like it is the right thing to do. Huck is doing what a good person would do even if it were to help bad people. This shows us how Huck is a good person and doses not mean harm to people. Huck wants to help people and not just leave them for dead but to Huck it is also an adventure and look like fun. Huck likes to help but some times his help can be in a bad way. When he is doing good he will make it so no one can be let that he is Huck Finn because if thay did he wold have to go bake to his dad.

The Advenures of Huckleberry Finn ch.7-11

Huck put a dead rattlesnake in Jim’s blanket to scary Jim. But that night when they were getting reedy to go the bed Huck forgot the snake was there but this time it’s mate was there and it bit Jim. I thank that the reason that Huck wants to plat this joke on Jim is because they are alone and have to entertain them selves and it seems like a good idea at the time but Huck did no think it all the way throw. Unlike before when Huck did not want to trick Jim because he had no reason to and did not find it funny but now thing have changed to were Jim and Huck are good friends and Huck saw it as a good joke to play on Jim.

last american man ch.9

Eustace is not a American man he was but not any more. He is a lie he said we do not need necessity but he himself wants necessity. He is a lie and that makes me angry he is what I wanted him to be the real thing because that’s what I want to be real and it is hard to see him evolves throw the book. I need him to be real and it hurts that he was not

last aerican man ch.8

The apprentices dislike Eustace because they do not matter in his opinion hat maters is that the chows at Turtle Island get done. Eustace only chars about his dream like his father he just wants his dream to become reality but by wanting that he is killing his dream. I feel as though there is this image of Eustace as a man living in a tepee warring buckskin with no modern thing, but that is a Eustace has become a lie. He is a person who uses old tools, builds buildings, and owns a car, but if you look at the begging to the book when Eustace first starts living in the wild he lived like a Indian but also like the Indian’s they were to forced change. Eustace has modified his goal in a way that changes the whole aspect of his image and way of like just to make it money not for his over all goal. This is because Eustace is a “man of destiny” and men of destiny make money and don’t live secluded in the forest. But the worst of it is that Eustace is just like his dad in that they are ass holes and even though Eustace is different then every one else he is not living in the true wild he is living on a pre industrial revolution farm. And Eustace is the head farmer and if it is not done his way no matter if your way is easier of faster you are wrong and he will tell you that and you are not going to like it and to bad if you do not like it because he is the master and you are the slave. And he will use as many people as he wants and won’t be char if you pack your bags and go because you are nothing to Eustace unless you are his girlfriend. I would like to work for the original Eustace not what he has become.

The Last American Man Ch.7

Eustace wants to ride his horse across the country to test his skills and endurance. By riding his horse across the country as fast as possible Eustace is putting his skills to the test and racing against time. You also see something vary interesting it is not talked about in the book in detail. It is the part were Eustace and his brother along with Susan disagree on whether or not to go throw a canyon or to continue on the current path of the highway. Eustace wanted to stay on the highway this is vary unlike Eustace, normally he wants to be in nature but here he wants to stay on the developed rout and not the one that is more natural. You see Eustace stray away from his routes becoming something else; he is becoming a man who only wants to complete his dream and not his ideals.

The Last American Man Ch.6

The pressure of running turtle island is a big factor on Eustace health. He is pressuring himself to archive his goal that he has created. He becomes so consumed with work that he is always angry at some things that he cannot be happy. This is because Eustace is the type of person who cannot sit in an offices doing work it is not his personality he need to to active in what he loves (I can attests to this personally). Plus pressure to buy the land makes him work to get the money to buy the land, which is another challenge in its self. This takes a toll on the people around him and because they do not want to be around him they leave and then he becomes depressed. This tacks a big toll on Eustace in that he becomes depressed and has a hared time getting out of this. Another interesting fact is that when Eustace in angry he is almost identical to his father in the way they act.

turtle island

Starting Turtle Island means Eustace has complotted the first step in to completing his goal. He has past the step of specking at places and moved to his mane goal of teaching by experience of being out in the woods. He can finally say he has done something for his goal and is no longer a man living in the woods trying to get his message out about a natural life and the natural way of living. He is now completing his goal instead of planning it. This is a big step for Eustace for he is embarking on his dream and is the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

local advocacy organization

A organization that I think should be a aided or empowered is the Indianapolis Jewish Community relations council which makes sure the Jewish Community equally represented in political problems and to promote pluralism.

the 4 of july to a slave

Douglas thinks to the fourth of July is hypocrisy because they preach about freedom on that day but yet to him and many other blacks the same freedom does not apply to them. He also comments that we say we have natural born rights and god granted us these rights but yet we do not given the same rights to a African-Americans. So how can god grant rights to some but not to all. Douglas also talks about how the fourth of July means nothing to a slave because they are not entitled to the same rights as everyone. For Douglas the Fourth of July is a time to mourn those are still in the bonds of slavery. Although I had to disagree with some of the references to the Bible in how it does not talk about slavery, when it does.

the worst of slavery

The passage in which I feel that you see slavery at its worst is on page 62 talking about a slave named James who ran away and was caught and dragged back in the punishment he received. This is how window describes the punishment that James received “therefore he decided, after the overseer should have whipped him to his satisfaction, to have in place between the screws of the cotton gin, to stay as long as he had been in the woods.” The passage later goes on to say how after four days that gin was unscrewed and there was the bodies half eaten buy rats. This passage shows how bad slavery is and how cruel a master is to his slaves. The fact that a man has the power to legally kill human beings and in a manner that they can do it is morally wrong.

incidents in the life of a slave girl linda's freedom

Linda finally gets her freedom when Mrs. Bruce by his Linda from Mr. Dodge. Although freedom is what Linda wanted she did not want to attain her freedom by somebody buying her and granting her, her freedom because she felt that she was entitled to her freedom. Also Linda was considered to be in the Free states she was still sold. Linda is still very grateful for her freedom and is glad to be truly free from the bonds of slavery that her children will never again feel the weight of slavery. Linda is also happy because she no longer is in any danger of being taken back and put back in to slavery. The fact that Linda knows that the safety of her children is secure takes a great burden off of Linda shoulders.

incidents in the life of a slave girl

One thing we have not talked about is the burden that Linda buts on her family. If Linda were to be caught she and her whole family would be in a lot of trouble. It is never said from the Linda’s family you see it on how Linda’s grandmother has aged in the passed few chapters. The laws for hiding a runaway are vary strict and if Linda were found in her hiding her family would be pulled apart. Linda’s family is willing to take the risk or they would not have take in her in. Linda was aware that her family was working hard to protect her, she is vary grateful for her family.

incidents in the life of a slave girl ch.20-28

Linda’s relationship with her brother William is an interesting part of this book. Mostly their grandmother who is a free person razed them, so this thought of freedom was instilled in the mined razes Linda and her brother. Linda sought comfort from her brother and her brother helped and protected Linda as much as a slave could. When William ran away he was deeply missed by Linda and she hoped to be joining him soon. Linda and William are both fighting for their freedom but for William it was easier to get then Linda’s freedom.

incidents in the life of a slave girl ch.13-19

Linda gets upset when her daughter is given the gold necklace because she sees it as the changes of slavery. Linda wants her daughter to be free for her only wish is to have here family free. Lind compares the gold necklace to the changes of slavery because the necklace has a presents on Linda’s daughter just like slavery has a presents on the lives of all the slaves. This comparisons is true to its meaning because of the problems of slavery and even though Linda’s daughter was vary young she was a slave and that is not right in so many way.

incidents in the life of a slave girl ch.6-12

Linda is right in that there is danger in love for a slave you see this two times so far in the book. Linda is saying that if a slave loves some one they haft to be careful who it is and what they say about it. For Linda who loves her grandmother must be careful because her master can and is tiring to make Linda secant guess her grandmother. Linda has learned that she is more then a slave and if her master makes her stop thinking that Linda will have a hard time trusting her grandmother. Another example of why it is dangerous for a slave to love is when Linda is in love with a free man. Linda’s master dose not like that Linda wants to married a free man because it would stop his plans to use Linda.

incidents in the life of a slave girl ch.1-5

One reason that is important that this is true and not fiction is that it shows you the actual life of a slave because it is also unedited it is not watered down or beefed up its a accurate description of a life of a slave. It makes the reader feel in all sat as a human could be treated that way and that people actually believed that other people or property and that they are better than others. The fact that this is also from a woman's point of view makes it different is the women were treated differently than men to be commonly see the man's point of view and that this only comes from a woman and is just scary that people are brainwashed into thinking that they are better that they others in that they own them like someone owns a car. And the fact that someone could treat another human being worse then they treat animals is sickening to think about.

nots on the state of virginia

Notes on the state of Virginia written by Thomas Jefferson shows his opposition to slavery. This is an interesting point because Thomas Jefferson a slave owner and the writer of the declaration of independence that talks about our unalienable rights to freedom but yet limits it to blacks. Some reason for this difference in views is that Thomas Jefferson was the only one writing notes on the state of Virginia but the declaration of independence had to fulfill the wants of many people and for the South slavery was important to the economy and it was the compromise that people against slavery had to make in order to form the United States. Although it is somewhat hypocritical for man who owned slaves to be opposed to slaves the time period was very different in the view of slavery was different and in some ways the definition of it was also different.

constitution

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

This is the foundation for are system of cheeks and balances. This installs the right of government in the people and that the government is for the interest of the people to have all there right of men. For it is the people who are in control what will happen in their contrary not one person. This is important because this sets up the modern system of representation of and for the people. For it is the right of the people to rune the government and to pick a leader who represents the people and to have the voice of the people be how you do things. It is are right ass citizens of the United States of America to uphold the constitution and to uphold are natural right

tomes paine

“Panics can produce as much good as hurt.” Thomas Paine
what Thomas Paine is saying here is that you worry about something too much you can actually do more damage than you can't in good if you worry about something a clear example of this is the Great Depression you had a little scare and no balances to counteract it and you had too many people worry about it causing a fallout of the economy. I totally agree with this quote in the many examples that can be shown from this quote their are something you will end up hurting yourself more than you gain from creating panic. You have to find a happy medium in order to create just enough of a panic for people to respond but to respond in a positive way rather than a negative way.

jonathan edwards

Jonathan Edwards shows how an early American society you had to believe that the Protestants believed that there is no flexibility. The reason that the Puritans came to America was to escape religious persecution and England but yet in America they were doing the same thing that England was doing because they wouldn't allow others to believe differently than they did. This relates to our discussion in class because we talked about how the people that were kicked out of Massachusetts went to form Rhode Island but yet in Rhode Island they still wouldn't allow others to believe differently than they did but that it was really Pennsylvania that was the first tolerate settlement to tolerate all religions.
