The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Satire and Synthesis Project Issue: Racism HF Quote Pap Finn on African Americans’ equal rights “Here was a free n****r there from Ohio…They said he was a p'fessor in a college, and could talk all kinds of languages, and knowed everything. And that ain't the wust. They said he could VOTE when he was at home. Well, that let me out. Thinks I, what is the country a-coming to? It was 'lection day, and I was just about to go and vote myself if I warn't too drunk to get there…” (23).

HF Quote Satire Analysis Pap Finn is expanding on a revelation about African Americans and how people are beginning to realize that African Americans are intelligent and capable because they have new suffrage rights. Pap Finn jokes that he too would vote if he was not too drunk to leave the house. He basically joked that if even African Americans could vote, he would too, because Pap sees it as a lower standard now because he is a belligerent racist. He is satirizing voting and blacks as he sees them as less than equal so if they can vote, then he, an abusive drunkard, could possibly vote too.

“…and do you reckon a n****r can run across money and not borrow some of it?” (141). “Jim’s a n****r and wouldn’t understand the reasons for it, and

that Jim is incapable of comprehending something because he is a different race. He is satirizing African Americans by saying they would not understand European customs cutting sawing off a leg because they have a chain dragging along and slowing everyone down.

Issue: Classism HF Quote

“The Widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn’t stand it no longer I lit out. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied” (1). “Col. Grangerford was a gentleman you see. He was a gentleman all over; and so was his family. He was well born, as the saying is, and that’s worth as

AND EDMUND KEAN THE ELDER…then at the bottom was the biggest line of all— which said: LADIES AND CHILDREN NOT ADMITTED. ‘There,’ says he, ‘if that line don’t fetch them, I don’t know Arkansaw!’” (118119). Issue: Religious Hypocrisy HF Quote Huck on Beliefs versus Actions “Next Sunday we all went to church, about three mile, everybody ahorseback. The men took their guns along, so did Buck, and kept them between their knees or stood them handy against the wall. The Shepherdsons done the same. It was pretty ornery preaching—all about

HF Quote Satire Analysis Huck states in this quote that everyone went to church together and heard a sermon on brotherly love, nothing spectacularly life changing, but a good sermon overall. However, the weekend itself proved to be rough because not everyone can practice what they preach; though everyone agreed with

Huck on Dead People “…she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn’t care no more about him; because I don’t take no stock in dead people” (1-2).

the preaching and decided it was good, they did not use the spoken word to have impact on their decisions and actions. This quote satirizes religion by reminding audiences that Christians often say things that coincide only with the Bible, not their actions. In addition, the men who attended church brought their guns. If the sermon preaches brotherly love, they should have left their guns at home and placed their trust in their family and friends. Huck does not think much or place his thoughts on those who are dead. This creates a somewhat reasonable excuse to not care about Moses, even though he is renowned in Christianity. Because death is the point of no return, Huck places them in a separate and nonintegrated category that he does not think about. He is able to satirize religion by stating that he basically thinks that dead people do not matter. Huck believes that if

create the chaos and violence and that humans are responsible for wide issues like war.

the meme shows that people ignore their not received help from prayer and listen to what they want to hear; people will twist things and statements into what they want to justify their actions or to avoid consequences, which is like the Shepherdsons and the Grangerfords who attend church, but still engage in rough fighting.

http://www.cnn.com/ 2016/06/06/health/be fore-i-die-festival/ 45 people approaching death or thinking about death are asked what they want to do before they die. Tom Davis desires that his loved ones care about him, and he wanted to see his grandchildren. People are also coming to a realization that death is a more worked out thing; people usually think about it and how they want to go. Sadly, many are concerned about financing medical

Huck on Why He Doesn’t Believe in Praying “…Miss Watson she took me in the closet and prayed, but nothing come of it. She told me to pray every day, and whatever I asked for I would get it. But it warn’t so. I tried it. Once I got a fish-line, but no hooks. It warn’t any good to me without hooks. I tried for the hooks three or four times, but somehow I couldn’t make it work. By-and-by, one day, I asked Miss Watson to try for me, but she said I was a fool. She never told me why, and I

they are dead, people should not place so much of their beliefs and thoughts with dead people in mind.

bills when their chances of surviving are so small, and they want their loved ones to have money. It is like an overall realization that it is going to happen, and that death is conclusive.

Huck satirizes Christians by stating that they have all prayed for something they wanted, no matter how seemingly unimportant or unnecessary. In Miss Watson’s attempt to civilize Huck, she receives an opposite response because she reassures Huck that he could have whatever he wanted if he prayed for it, and that is not always the case. In prayer, many believe that one may get what they need, not what they want, or that they may receive what they want but not what they need.

She stopped consistently finishing her prayers, and lost some of her Muslim identity. However, with the election of Trump and the complications of possible Muslim registry, Noorbackhsh reached for the prayer she tried to abandon as a

genuinely horation and places dead people in their own group. It satirizes death and coffins by joking that only dead people would understand what it feels like to be in a coffin. This relates to Huck’s realization that he does not place “stock in dead people” because they are dead, and they are a totally different category. This meme defines that separate category in a less than serious manner. http://3.bp.blogspot.c om/-JG5qo0l_w8/UV9MhG5Ziq I/AAAAAAAAGyc/ grEg5tk7Gg/s1600/8308318 315_83884320c2_b.j pg This satire is in the form of a picture or meme; it is a horation as it pokes at those who only pray for unnecessary things they can accomplish themselves, but do not pray for starving children, who actually need God’s help. This picture communicates the fact that many Christians only pray because they believe it will benefit them or because they want

Prayer carries many definitions, but it is not something that can be defined in one statement; Miss Watson loses credibility in Huck’s opinion by lying to him and being inclusive about prayer. Miss Watson demonstrates religious hypocrisy when she states that prayer will get Huck what he wants as prayer usually is for desperate or confusing situations, not something on a whim.
