WELCOME STUDENTS!

This is a place for us to discuss openly and honestly the literature we are reading. Here we are all just communicating our thoughts on what we are reading. There are no right and wrong answers. However, you are expected to be polite, mature, and on topic.

Two of a Kind

In the final chapters of HUCK FINN,  it is clear that Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn share a unique friendship.  However, it is also apparent that the two can be a study of contrasts:  Tom, the "romantic adventurer" and Huck, the "realistic explorer".   Discuss their opposing approaches to life and why you think they have a lasting friendship.  Cite at least one situation when Twain shows this contrast.  (The deadline to post a response to this blog opportunity is midnight, July 8, 2013.  Please tell your friends that a new post is up.)
