  3. Huck Finn: Feuds, Firearms and innocence Chapters 17-18 Watch chapter 17-18 carefully noting the author’s tone toward the characters and the mood shift from the river.

  4. Huck is now on his own and he encounters—DEATH! and lots of it! • Emmeline Grangerford (100-104)—she writes about death. Why? • If you hear about death constantly can you become numb to it? • How is this a part of Twain’s satire? • Message: • Death is serious • Emmeline cares about the order of speakers at the funeral • Emmeline takes pride in her poetry • Huck feels a connection and believes she was very sad and depressed Turn to chapter 18 and read along as we listen
