Huck Finn Reader #3(Ch.14-Ch.18)

Huck is impressed about the Grangerford’s house because of the unique pictures she had hanging on her walls; she had bible pictures hung on her walls that were all done by Emmeline. Her house was set up in a unique way that Huck never seen a house set up like before. Huck’s view of the house was so interesting because Huck hasn’t seen much stuff in his life and this showed him that there’s more to life than just the life he’s living. “It was a mighty nice family, and a mighty nice house, too. I hadn’t seen no house in the country before that was so nice and had so much style.”(ch.17 pg.75)

The books in the house were so special because they were all poetry books. Huck is so interested in the books because they were poetry books done by Emmeline and thought that they were very good. Huck wants to learn new things so he’ll be able to become successful in something like how Emmeline is with her poetry. Twain finds education very important, he believes that with education you’ll be able to do more unique things and find way to entertain people. ”He said that she would slap down a line, and if she couldn’t find anything to rhyme with it she would just scratch it out and slap down another one”(ch.17 pg.78)

The drawings, poems, and scrapbooks are so unique because they were all done by Emmeline Grangerford herself. She seemed to be obsessed with dead people. The painting had so many arms because the woman didn’t know what position she wanted her arms in. They were going to scratch out the pairs of arms she didn’t want she picked her position. The woman died before they could choose. Emmeline is interested in death. She finds it fascinating to know about a death or suicide and she enjoys drawing the stories of the people who died and how they died. Huck is so touched by Emmeline’s life and art because she has a unique way of painting and Huck can see the story or the people through her paintings.
