Readers response 3 ch14-18

The Granderfords house impresses huck because the doors have locks and they also have a new rag carpet on the floor. Having new clothes and being able to have new things like rag carpet on the floor is huck's view of success and happiness because he has a new things. Instead of old rags and having other people's clothes. This is the quote as it states in ch.17, pg73,par4 "as soon as i was in,the old gentlemen he locked the door and barred it and bottled it, and told the young men to come in with their guns, and they all went in a big parlor that had a new rag carpet on the floor".

The books had poems written in them by Emmeline,that's why the books were so special. Huck was interrested in the books because he never seen those kinds of books and never read them. In the books because he never seen those kinds of books and never read them. In the books Huck found pictures that got his attention. Huck belives that you have to get your edcuation. Mark Twain also thoughtthat you needed to get your education. ch17,pg76,par3 "they was different from any pictures i ever see before"

The poems were unique because Emmeline did them before she died. The significance of the painting was that she wasn't sure which set of arms to keep or erase. She was trying to decide before she died. Huck was touched by her because she was talented and because she a good life. ch17,pg77,par1 "and art thou gone yes thou art gone alas".
