Episode-VG

In the novel Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, talks about a lot of social activities. One of the events tha the author talks about is violence. An example of this social event is chapter 6 where Mark Twain explains how Pap abuses Huck. He also thrashes Huck for his money, and takes him away from the Widow Douglas and keeps him in a cabin. While Huck was in the cabin Pap would basically treat Huck like a slave. "Once he locked me in and was gone for three days. It was dreadful lonesome. I judged that he got drowned and I wasn't ever going to get out any more. I was scared. I made up my mind I would fix up some way to leave there, I couldn't find no way." (pg. 26). In this quote Huck is explaing how Pap would lock him in the cabin and be gone consecutive days. Pap would abuse him everytime he would get drunk. This picture to me symbolizes Pap being mean to Huck and Huck crying.

In my opinion Mark Twain makes violence a big part of the novel. It is not right the way Pap treats Huck. Nobody could blame Huck for wanting to run away. It makes me angry how the judge wanted Huck to stay with Pap. In those days judges did not seperate families no matter how bad the situation was.
