Chapter 17: "On the table in the middle of<br>the room was a kind of a lovely crockery basket that bad apples and oranges and peaches and grapes piled up in it..." <br>I had to do a report and I forgot to bring my book home. After using this text, I noted that Twain picked "bad" rather than "fake" to describe the fruits, which was obviously a shot at the Grangerfords, who were perfect on the outside but "bad" on the inside. My teacher pointed out to me that in the real text, it says "had" and not "bad." Luckily, the point was still true, even without the supporting word choice.
