Exercise 6.4B: The Symbolism Of The Raft

There would be a light blue strip of shiny fabric running from the top left corner of the paper to the bottom right. This would be the river. On that river would be shiny jewels, silver and black in color, to represent the rocks that the had to go through to get from one part to another. One the top of the collage, there would be a simple squared with a triangular roof topped house on a raft. Although Jim and Huck did not have a fancy raft, it was still what they considered dear to themselves and it was what they saw as home for the time being. This would be painted on however, in watercolor to also represent that their home was still indeed on water.

Around them would be complete chaos. Magazine cuts images could be placed surrounding the entire stream and raft representation. There would be pictures of guns, animals, people's faces showing the difference facial expressions.

I disagree that he did the right thing, at least when it comes to putting his interests in mind and in really deciding what would be best for him as a person. He put himself at risk, he put his life at risk, and he put at risk the lives of those closest to him. During the times that he was living, it would have been impractical for him to choose the way he did.

Exercise 6.6B: Another Last Chapter

Huck will decide to continue on his adventure to really find out what lies ahead for him. To go back to the Widow and to his friends, would mean to go back to the life that he ran away from in the first place. It would not be like Huck to continue his life the way it was after going through all the adventures and all the experiences that he went through with Jim. He risked his life, he put everything at risk because he did not believe in what he was raised to think, and in order to fully appreciate everything, Huck would continue on an adventure until he found a place elsewhere, far away from his home, to settle down and live the life that he had always….....
