Satire Question – Chapters 7-13
Remember that The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn is a satire of slavery. This means that it is ridiculing slavery through mockery, parody, sarcasm, or through other satirical devices. Note! There are three types of devices we are concerned with: Literary, Rhetorical, and Satirical. Question – Chapters 7-13 In Chapter 9, Jim stops Huck from looking at the dead man’s face. Why does Twain choose for this to occur in the novel. To answer this completely, make sure to: Consider the developing relationship between Huck and Jim, consider the positive and negative characteristics of Huck and JIm, consider what larger societal statements Twain may be making, and evaluate how this scene plays into our EQ: Is Huck Finn Satire or Evasion?

Satire QUOTE #2 – Chapter 9
Remember that The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn is a satire of slavery. This means that it is ridiculing slavery through mockery, parody, sarcasm, or through other satirical devices. Note! There are three types of devices we are concerned with: Literary, Rhetorical, and Satirical. QUOTE #2 – Chapter 9 The light begun to come before we got to the foot of the island. Then we looked in at the window. We could make out a bed, and a table, and two old chairs, and lots of things around about on the floor, and there was clothes hanging against the wall. There was something laying on the floor in the far corner that looked like a man. So Jim says: "Hello, you!" But it didn't budge. So I hollered again, and then Jim says: "De man ain't asleep -- he's dead. You hold still -- I'll go en see." He went, and bent down and looked, and says: "It's a dead man. Yes, indeedy; naked, too. He's ben shot in de back. I reck'n he's ben dead two er three days. Come in, Huck, but doan' look at his face -- it's too gashly." I didn't look at him at all. Jim throwed some old rags over him, but he needn't done it; I didn't want to see him (Twain 38).
