  4. The plan • Number off 1-5 • Gather with the others who have the same number. Get out your journals and Huck book. Label your journal entry “Huck 17-22 Discussion” • Find the corresponding number of discussion question (group 2 has question 2) • Write a short paragraph, complete with one specific quote/example addressing the question. Each person should write down the group’s paragraph; don’t simply summarize but analyze • Chose a spokesperson who will share your findings with the whole class • Have each group share their findings, while everyone takes notes on the other four questions (the fifth, your own, is already done).

  5. Hwk • 1. Please read 23-26 • 2. Be sure you have read the Emerson and Thoreau readings in the Anthology packet, we will discuss them next time. We are moving on to the last section in the packet this week! • Please bring your materials to class each day. To inspire you: Without your materials don’t be caught; the material police I am not. Please don’t make my voice raise, instead, earn some praise!

  6. Hero’s Journey

  7. Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey • Much of the middle section of the novel is a series of Huck’s “tests” so please take note of these, especially chapters 30-31. In fact, please pre-write on the questions below in your journal- • What is Huck’s moral dilemma in Chapter 31 and what does he resolve to do about it and why? Find a quote or two to support your answer. Where does this fit into the hero’s journey?
