Huck Finn Review Questions XXI-XXIII

1.) The people in this town are cruel, not because they have to be in order to survive but because they find enjoyment in it. For example, they love watching dog fight, back then dogs weren't your typical house pets they were mostly strays, but they still were living creatures so the fact that watching them fight to the death and torturing them till they died was extremely cruel. This relates to the essay because any other animal besides a human does everything they need to do to survive, they do not do cruel and unusual things just for enjoyment like a person does. Which makes a person, the cruelest animal there is.

2.) He thinks the two men are hipocrits, although he benefits from what they do he does not want to participate because he thinks that it is wrong, but he doesn't argue with them because he doesn't want there to be qaurrels on the raft.

3.)

4.) The circus is actually a real performance, not a scam, they are just trying to get money and they think that in order to do that they need to do shakespeare because everyone loves shakespeare but in the end nobody really showed up so then the King and the Duke find away to bring in people and money and thehy use comedy cause that worked so well for the circus.
