Reader Response #3

Huck is impressed about many things in the Grangerfords house. One of the thing that Huck is impressed about is the style of the house. What he means by this is that it is no like most houses in the cuntry. The house did not have a parlor and no bed. This was different because most houses had parlors in them with beds. Another reason that the house was different was bcause the house had more stuff that you would see if you had a house in town and not in the country. Another thing that impresses huck it that was a room that had paintings and poetry in it. This shows that Huck's views of happiness and sucess were varied. What I mean by this is that Huck wants to have nice house but he does not want it in the city and he would rather have it in the county. It also sends the messege that Huck does not want to live a fancy life but more of a calm and middle class life so that people do not judge him on things that he does.

The books in the house were both poetry and educational with a mix of religious. This meas that the family is a riligious and they have some interest in education and poetry. This shows that Huck expects toget an education to an extent. What i mean by this is that he will get an education until he feals that it is to controlling for him. Huck stated that the books were interesting this can be interpreted that Huck has an iterest in poetry religion and education. The fact that Twain went to the extent to use an entie chapter to describe the books and paintings shows that Twain views education as important and somthing every one should have no matter where they live. This shows that Twin took an interest into educain because he is expressing himself through Huck.

The unique thing about the scrapbook and the poetry along with the paintings is that they were all done by a Grangerford. She was only fifteen when she died in the fued so the family tresures the scrapbook, paintings, and the poetry. She seemed to be obsessed with death. In my opinion this is because ofthe fued and the many people that died. I think that it was her way of expessing that he wantd the fued to end.
