=In the novel "Huckleberry Finn", Mark Twain is satarizing education. Twain satarizes the attitude towards education by Pap not letting Huck go to school. This shows how in the past, kids wanted to go to school but they were not able to either because their parents didn't let them or because they were not wealthy.= ="I took up a book and begun something about General Washington and the wars. When I'd read about a half a minute, he fetched the book a wack with his hand and knocked it across the house"(24). This quote shows how Pap takes the book away from Huck and throws the book away to prevent Huck from reading. It also shows that Pap does not let him learn how to read and write because he does not want Huck to be better than him.=

="He catched me a couple of times and thrashed me, but I went to school just the same, and dodged him or outrun hm most of the time"(28). In this quote Twain shows how Huck goes to school even though his father Pap tries to prevent him from getting educated. This shows how in the 1800's many people that wanted to go to school tried to do anything just to get educated.=
