Dylan Thomas' A Child's Christmas in Wales

Finish The Crucible movie

Homework: Read Huck Finn chapters, uh . . . all of them! Finish the novel over winter break. I know that's a lot of reading, but you can do it. It's a page turner and it's very interesting and entertaining. As you read, look for the following:

  • How does Huck change during the course of the novel?
  • In what ways does Huck follow the pattern of the hero?
  • Mark Twain has written a condemnation of the South. What were the problems, according to Twain? Look for more than racism
  • What is the dramatic difference between Huck and Tom?
  • Is this book racist? Clearly, the "N" word is a problem for many people. What do you think about that? Do you wish that Twain had used the word "slave"?
