of Tom Sawyer.

2. Why did Twain choose a young boy as the narrator for the

novel?

3. Name one of the major themes of the novel.

4. Give an example of superstition in Chapter 1.

5. Compare the character of the Widow Douglas to her sister,

Miss Watson.

6. At what period in history does the story take place?

Answers

1. Tom and Huck found the six thousand dollars in gold that the rob-

bers had hidden in the cave. Judge Thatcher invested it for them.

2. Twain uses Huck’s comments as an innocent and truthful

criticism of society.

3. One major theme of the novel is individual freedom. Huck

searches for freedom from the constraints of a corrupt so-

ciety, and Jim searches for freedom from slavery.

4. Huck accidentally fl ips a spider into a candle and is sure it

will bring him bad luck.

5. The Widow Douglas seems less demanding of Huck than

during the spelling lesson.

6. The story takes place before the Civil War, when slavery was

still legal in the southern United States.

Suggested Essay Topics

1. The Widow Douglas and her sister, Miss Watson, are both

trying to “sivilize” Huck. Compare and contrast their atti-

tudes toward Huck. What method does each one use in her

efforts to turn him into a “respectable” citizen? How do those

methods differ? How are they the same? Cite examples from

the novel to support your argument.

2. Analyze the scene where Huck fl ips the spider into the candle.

Why does he feel that this would bring him bad luck? How

does this scene foreshadow superstition in the novel? Sup-

port your answer with examples from the novel.

3. Twain chooses a 13-year-old boy as narrator for his novel.

In what way does this help to accomplish Twain’s purpose?

Discuss the ways in which a young, innocent narrator can

make a profound statement about the hypocrisy of his so-

ciety. Explain your answer.

Chapters 2-3

New Characters:

Jim: Miss Watson’s black slave

Jo Harper and Ben Rogers: two members of Tom and Huck’s

gang

Tommy Barnes: the youngest member of the gang

Summary

As Huck and Tom Sawyer tiptoe through the garden, Huck

stumbles over a root, which gets the attention of Jim, Miss Watson’s

slave. He calls out, but the boys, afraid of being caught sneaking

out at night, become extremely quiet. Jim sits down between them

but falls asleep before he is aware that they are near enough to

touch. Tom cannot resist the temptation to play a trick on Jim. He

hangs Jim’s hat in the tree, knowing that Jim will wonder how it

got there. The next day, seeing his hat in the tree, Jim conjures up

stories about witches and how they rode him around the world. He

is proud of this and consequently the envy of all the other slaves

in the neighborhood.

Having sneaked out, Huck and Tom meet Joe Harper, Ben

Rogers, and the other members of Tom’s “band of robbers.” Tom

Sawyer’s gang is patterned after the “pirate books,” and “robber

books” that he has read. They take a skiff down the Mississippi River

for several miles to explore the cave that Tom has found earlier. As

they organize their gang, the boys take an oath to keep the gang

HISTORY

The Story of the Malakand Field Force Winston Churchill

The great statesman Winston Churchill was also a renowned historian and Nobel Prize–winning author. In his first book, he chronicles an 1897 British military campaign against the fierce Pathan tribesmen on the Northwest Frontier, in the vicinity of modern Pakistan and Afghanistan. Churchill served as a correspondent as well as a cavalry officer, and his reportage of the bloody conflict reflects the energy and vision that would re-emerge in his role as Britain’s WWII leader.

She recounts her journeys through Canada and pre–Civil War United States in this travelogue. Drawing from letters to her sister back home in England, Bird passionately details such sights as wigwams on Prince Edward Island and the romantic falls of Lorette in Quebec — plus dark encounters with chol-era, slavery, and harrowing storms at sea.

American Indian Stories Zitkala-Sa

Perhaps the first work of literature by an American Indian that did not involve a non-Native collaborator, this important collection includes wistful autobiographical tales, traditional short stories, and pointed political writings. Zitkala-Sa, a Sioux woman who left her reservation at the age of 8 to attend a harsh Quaker school, struggled to find a balance between her heritage and American culture. These stories are a testimony to her tri-umph over hatred and disillusionment.
