  1. Chapters 19-22 Satire and Morality

  2. One • On some spare paper, quickly sketch a two-part picture to show: First, life on raft with Jim and Huck before the duke and king came and then life with duke/king (Use Ch 19 if you need it for help) • Explain: What might the duke and king represent symbolically?

  3. Two • Which one is worse: the duke or the king? Why? Use at least one textual quote in your answer. (Look at Ch.20 if you need it for help)

  4. Three • Satire is when an author ridicules and exposes the faults of his or her subject in order to provoke change. • Thinking about this definition, how does Twain describe the people in the town, including Boggs? Be sure to think about what the town looks like, how they respond to Boggs, and their decision to lynch Sherburn. What might Twain be satirizing here?

  5. Four • How does Sherburn yell at the people who have come to lynch him? What does he scold them for and how does he view them? Use at least one textual quote in your answer. (See Ch 22)

  6. Five • Do you agree with Sherburn's analysis of the townspeople? How do you feel about his actions? Do you think that he was right to shoot a defenseless drunk? What should happen to Sherburn? • Why do you think that Twain makes his readers feel this way? What might he be saying about the way that the world works?
