Huck Finn 6

Like we discussed for our last reading, the raft is the place where Jim and Huck become closer friends. This is proven once again when "[they] said there warn't no home like a raft, after all. Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft." They are also quite comfortable out there on the water because "[they were] always naked, day and night..." That's awkward. Unless, they were comfortable with eachother and their surroundings. i love hannah

Also, i found a little bit of sybolism of Jesus in both of the men that got on the raft with them. The first one said, " the world may go on jsut as it's always done, and take everythign from me- loved ones, property, everything' but it can't take [his grave]. Some day i'll lie down in it and forget it all, and my poor broken heart will be at rest...by rights i am a duke!...and here am i, forlorn, torn from my high estate, hunted of men, despised by the cold world, ragged, worn, heartbroken, and degraded to teh companionship of felons on a raft."
Christ was whipped, cursed at, spit on, mocked, and killed to take the sins from the ones that broke his heart. He lied in his grave for three days. He was rightfully the "king" but worked as a carpenter with his dad and grew up as a regular boy. He was "hunted" by the priests in a way because they always tried to catch him in an act of doing wrong. Then the second man said he was " ...the rightful kind of France."
