I thought it was funny when the gossipers were saying that the writing in the diary with blood was "secret African writ'n". It was also rather humorous to me when they said "sperits couldn't a done better and been no smarter." when they were talking about how the "niggers" got away from the best dogs around. Because the couple of slaves we're seen in the book have believed whole-heatedly in witchcraft and spirits, but this time it was the whites saying it.
We even see proof that Huck is keeping his way of having feelings for other people now and having some sense when he "...wouldn't 'a'[left Aunt Sally] not for kingdoms."
Is there a simularity between the doctor that helped Tom and the one that knew the Wilk's family? I don't remember a whole lot said about him or if he looked like a real kind gentleman, i just remember him trying to rat-out teh duke, king, and huck.
Then when Huck described Uncle Silas, after hearing that Tom and Huck were the ones that set Jim free, as "...kinda of [making] him drunk." I thought back to when the Duke and King were descovered and chased after Huck when he got away on the raft and They took after drinking too.
And, finally, I loved the part where Jim tells Huck what happened to his dad. I remember having a discussion about the man in the wrecked house and why Jim would cover his face. I don't remember anyone ever saying it was to hide the identity of the man but it all makes sense now! Jim is probably the best friend anyone could hope for, even when he didn't know Huck too well, he protected him as if they'd been close their whole lives.
