Government
"Call this givment! why, just look at it and see what it's like. here's the law a-standing ready to take a man's son away from him-a man's own son, which he has had all the trouble and all the anxiety and all the expense of raising. Yes, just as that man has got that son raised at last, and the law up and goes for him. And they call that givment!(ch.6, p.20, par. 2) I think that what Pap is tring to say is that, the government comes and takes this man's son away after he's tried his hardest to make sure that nothing like this would ever have to happen. He did everything to raise his son the best way possible, but still the government takes him away fron his son. When the government to suppose help him keep his son.
I think that Pap has a good point i agree with on the government. An example is how the government is now, how the United States is the only country that doesn't give the people free medications that they need to survive, people are dying because they dont have the money to pay for their medications. Still the government does nothing about the prices. I think that the government doesnt care about what's best for us they just care about themselves, and want to steal our money from us.
I think that Mark Twain doesn't like the government because of the way he talked about them in the the story. Mark Twain doesnt think that the government does their job right or how the government is suppose to be like.He probably doesnt like the government because he may have had a bad experience with them in his childhood. Twain maybe wa taken away from his parents when he was younger, and that's why he had the guy in the story have his children taken away.
