Huck Finn Presentation
1
What Have We Learned?
Overall throughout the book Huck's internal battles with himself mainly come to him when in relation to Jim. Huck's upbringing molded his nature to think of black people in a certain way, and while on the raft through multiple occurences we see Huck go against his own nature to save/protect Jim. Your upbringing doesn't dictate the way you live your life.
The Third
Modern Interpretation
“The more I studied about this, the more my conscience went to grinding me, and the more wicked and low-down and ornery I got to feeling.” (Twain 160).
- Guilt vs shame
- guilty characters like:
1. Simba
2. Batman (Why he doesn't kill)
3. Everyday people In Real Life
Huck treats his conscience almost like an entirely different person, a voice of reason in place of a physical character that would fill that role.
(WARNING: EXLPICIT) Modern Example: Fight Club
The second
“I Says to myself, this is another one that I’m letting him rob her of her money. And when she got through, they all jest laid theirselves out to make me feel at home and know I was amongst friends.” (Twain 132)
Within this quote, the reader sees Huck's conscience within his thoughts as he sees the people that are soon-to-be victims of the King and the Duke's trickery. That internal battle of morality sets this quote out above the rest in relation to the theme of Man vs. Himself.
Modern interpretation
- Decisions between two things
- The conforming of people nowadays
- From Film: Spiderman giving up being Spiderman
The First
“I was trembling, because I’d got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it.” (Twain 161)
Within this quote, the reader sees Huck's internal struggle between two choices that would change the course of his life forever. This can connect with young readers that feel pressured to make big choices at a young age and it best showcases the theme of Man vs. Himself.
