Hi all, I'm really needing some answers for these essays. Please reply tonight. Thank you very much. You don't have to make the answers too long (Cause I know some don't feel like typing all that much)

i hope this isn't too long? "... space ... space ... space..."

not sure why i bothered to reply, but, out of curiosity, what have you done? and what have you gotten from the novel? and why did you ask complete strangers to do your work for you at the last minute? :confused: ...i guess it's less embarassing than asking persons who know you.

and i completely agree; it's much simpler to cut and paste than it is to type. you do know that one can be expelled from university for that, yes? (if you're there or plan to attend one day.)

seeing as I am in a good mood today (the birds are singing, the sun is shining & the semester is over). I might be inclined to help you - this inclination to help doesn't come around often, so I suggest you take advantage of it. You only need to do 1 thing first: Post what you have written for the answers so far, by 20:00 EST.

It's not for a written assignment. Those are essay questions for my test tomorrow. I need an idea of what to write. I read the first 20 some odd chapters and then my guardian died and my life went to hell with me having no spare time.

Ok, seeing as you have read the first 20 chapters you should have a pretty good idea of the characters in the book, it is only the first question that should be a problem for you.
It seems you are being given some useful hints on how to write your essays
Now, I have no intention of doing this for you however I will stay and allow you to bounce ideas off of me for what you intend to write.

The problem is that I don't get into books I don't like.

I know this about the book:

-Huck and Tom are friends.
-They go down a river.
-Huck hides from Pap.
-Pap is a drunk.
-One of them dresses like a female in Boston or somewhere.
-They make a gang of robbers.
-Pap doesn't want Huck, he wants the money. ($6,000 I think)

I just reread the sheet and can't come up with anything good. I need help. This is the only time I've ever scanned a sheet and asked for any school work help.

For question 3 it seems I would probably try to argue that Huck never really belives Slavery is wrong, as an argument go with something like the guilt he feels for letting him go. To answer point A, I would suggest that it was more admirable because it was down to a true bond of freindship formed between the 2 of them. You just need to find quotes to back it up.

With question 2 I will just give my interpretation of "sound Heart" & "deformed conscience" & leave the rest to you. I think it means that Huck knows what he should do, however like any young boy he always ends up taking the option which is more fun, and which generrally gets him into trouble

Thanks a bunch. You have no idea how much you helped me out.

No problem, you caught me on a good day. Just remember to try and find some quotes to back up whatever points you decide to make.
Anyway, I've now got some of my own stuff I have to work on.
