Reconstruction and Huck Finn

Today's Agenda:

Review: Huck Finn Chapters 15 and 16
  • Moral development, internal conflict, and dramatic irony
    • "Stuck in a fog"--Literal (actual) vs. Figurative (deeper meaning)
    • How is Huck figuratively stuck in a fog?
    • Why does Huck trick Jim?
    • How does Jim react?
    • What is Twain showing us about Jim?
    • How does Huck feel after?
    • Dramatic irony--When the reader knows something the character does not
      • What is ironic about this chapter?
    • Conflict--Internal vs. External
      • Man vs. Self, Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Man, Man vs. Society/Ideas
      • What is Huck's internal conflict?
    • What does Huck do? Why?
Discuss: The Election of 1876 and the End of Reconstruction
