Chapter 17 Quotes

• "'Well, if you knowed where he was, why did you
  ask me for?" pg. 89
• Huck is answering a riddle that Buck tells him.
  Buck starts joking around with Huck right away,
  right when they met. Buck is obviously
  comfortable enough to throw a joke into
  conversation. Huck does not understand the joke,
  and this qote clearly shows his awkwardness and
  innocents in his situation.

• "... and my sister Mary Ann run off and got
  married and never was heard of no more." pg. 90
• This quote that Huck completely made up is
  weirdly similar to what happens in the next
  chapter when Miss Sophia runs off to get married
  and Huck does not stick around long enough to
  hear of her again. I think Mark Twain put this in
  the book to see if anyone could catch it.

Chapter 18 Quotes

• "My nigger had a monstrous easy time, because I
  warn't used to having anybody do anything for
  me." pg. 96
• This quote has two major meanings Huck is not
  used to having anybody do anything for him, and
  Huck doesn't want a slave. Huck is not used to
  his father do anything for him, so it is easy to
  see that having a personal servant would not come
  naturally to him. Huck doesn't want a slave
  because he sis not agree with it entirely, he has
  been friends with Jim and does not want to turn
  him in anymore.

• "... I reckoned  was to blame, somehow...I never
  felt easy till the raft was two mile below there
  and out in the middle of the Mississippi." pg.
  104
• This quote shows how much the Grangerford family
  affecting Huck within only a few days. Huck did
  not want to have anything to do with the two
  feuding families anymore. Huck also felt as
  though the feud was his fault, even though the
  feud has been going on for decades. Huck is a
  little self conscious and beats himself up too
  much.

Chapter 19 Quotes

• "Jim said the moon could 'a' laid them (stars)
  well, that looked kind of reasonable, so I didn't
  say nothing against it." pg. 107
• This quote shows how much Huck has changed from
  his reactions to when Jim was talking about King
  Solomon to when he says a comment about the moon.
  Huck does not try to listen to what Jim says
  about Solomon which is a good point but Huck
  agrees with the ridiculous comment about the moon
  laying stars. Huck is starting to respect Jim
  more.

• "It didn't take me long to make up my mind that
  these liars warn't no kings nor dukes at all."
  pg. 113
• Huck and Jim were gullible enough to be fooled by
  two poor men lying to get a free ride and food.
  Huck finally figures it out and does not make it
  a big deal and assumes Jim does not already know.
  Huck is very passionate thinking that just
  letting the men have their fun and food is better
  than arguing and fighting and making a mess out
  of their relationship, a very mature thought.
