Chapter 12-14
1.) Huck calls is borrowing because he says that if he could give it back he would, and he said he wasn’t going to steal everything so he only takes the better valued items which makes him feel better about stealing the other things.
2.) He wants be too adventurous like Tom Sawyer.
3.) It’s ironic because Sir Walter Scott is a famous romantic writer, and the men on the ship are murderers and there boat sank.
4.) He tries to put himself in their shoes, because he might be a murderer some day.
5.) He tell the captains that the niece of Horn back, who is very wealthy, was stuck on the boat. The steamboat captain is very greedy and Huck uses that to his advantage by luring them into to helping the men on the boat.
6.) He was talking about get stuck on the boat. The raft floated away and he was either going to get saved or drown and if he were to get saved he would get sold back into slavery.
7.) He thinks they just sit around and do nothing and marry a bunch of women, he really has no idea what the job of the king entails. He thinks that if the king dislikes someone he just whacks his or her heads off.
8.) Jim presents his argument has a debate and it actually makes sense. Solomon wants to settle a debate about a baby by cutting it in half, Jim does not understand why Solomon have so many wives. He has a harem that has a million children and a million wives and Jim doesn’t understand why a King would want to live amongst all those women and children he thinks he should build his own house and live there. Jims isn’t very educated so he really doesn’t understand Solomon’s reasoning for having so many wives.
It's not that the steamboat captain is "greedy" as much as he wants to get paid for his work rather than just saving someone because it's the "RIGHT" thing to do.
