Huck Finn 2

The main thing that caught my attention is this reading was the part when Huck's dad chases him around the cabin with a knife screaming bloody murder...literally. It reminded me of a part in a horror movie when the dad "...was laying over by the corner. By-and-by he raised up part way and listened, with his head to one side.He says, very low: Tramp-tramp-tramp; that's the dead...they're coming for me." I think he very well could have been demon possessed there. The only thing that would contradict that idea would be because he was chasing Huck, trying to kill him, calling him the Angel of Death, and normally demons flee in teh presence of an angel or the power of God/ holy spirit

Another thing i thought of was the things Huck did and the events that happened when he finally escaped the cabin. The very first thing that he did was go hunting. He killed and used the blood of a pig to, in a way, -set himself free- from anyone trying to find him. Just like we have the -blood of that lamb- to set us free from our bonds and sins. After throwing teh pig to it's "grave" Huck runs and hides in hid canoe just like the soldiers that hung Jesus on the cross ran away. Now, considering the sin(s) that are to be forgiven, who changed at that moment in the book? Who could have been seen as "forgiven"? I think it was Huck's father. Unlike Huck expected, he came back COMPLETELY sober. I wonder if his character has changed at all after that night in town.
