Huckleberry Finn is a young boy who has been mostly on his own and recently found a lot of gold with his friend, Tom Sawyer.  This event happened in the previous book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and now Huck’s share of the gold is being managed by Judge Thatcher. Huck’s mother is deceased and his father is the town drunk who is frequently not around.  The Widow Douglas has decided to adopt Huck and civilize him by teaching him how to behave in society and how to read and write.  Her sister, Miss Watson, is also helping to educate Huck about the christian religion and various bible stories.  Huck is interested in the bible story of Moses until he finds out that Moses has been dead for a long time and therefore he loses interest.  Huck is a very practical person but also very superstitious.  He thinks that he will have bad luck because he accidentally killed a spider.  

Summary of Chapter 2

Huck has decided to sneak out of the house at night with Tom Sawyer.  As they are leaving to go to the woods they are almost caught by Jim, one of Miss Watson’s slaves.  Jim is determined to find out who is hiding in the dark, but he eventually falls asleep as the boys wait quietly in the dark.  Tom decides to play a trick on Jim and hangs his hat on a tree branch above where Jim is sleeping.  Jim thinks witches did it and later tells stories to otehr slaves about how they possessed him and made him walk all over the state. Tom and Huck continue to a cave in the woods where they are meeting up with other boys from the town.  The boys are trying to form a gang of robbers and are deciding on the rules of the gang.  Once all of the details are agreed upon, the boys head home.  Huck is dirty and tired as he falls into bed.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
