By Monday, please read Huck through Chapter Seven. Write a journal in your notebook for each of the following questions:
1. There is a great deal of irony in the interactions among the boys in Chapter 2. Twain tells us a great deal about their perceptions of the world. The way in which they handle Huck's entrance into the gang is especially interesting. He almost "cries." What do their actions and his reactions say about their perceptions?
2. Discuss your impression of the dialect used throughout the novel thus far. Does actually reading the book change your previous stance on the re-write discussion from earlier this year?
