Blog #8 Reader Response to parter novel

My partners (Andrea and Haley) and I are reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Huckleberry Finn is the main character and narrator of the book. The first scenes start off by giving you a sense of what Huck is like. To me he seems to be kind of an outcast but also very thoughtful and intelligent. Tom Sawyer is Huck's friend who is the complete opposite. Tom comes up with rebellious ideas and is aggressive whereas Huck is passive. From these first few chapters we learn that Huck and Tom ended their last book with finding gold in a cave, both of them receiving 6,000 a piece. We also learn that Huck was adopted but ran away until Tom convinced him to return and join his band of robbers and live with Huck's widowed mother. Huck does not like his mother and the way that she always tries to push her believes onto him. Huck gets annoyed of his mother for her continuing to think that he is bad and is going to go to hell. From the first chapter the reader is informed of Mark Twain's other book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer but that we didn't need to read that and the two books are separate from each other.
