Superstitutions in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Jim and Huck use and believe
in many superstitions. There are many examples from the book, that show
this in the characters. Most of the superstitions are very ridiculous, but
some actually make a little sense.
Huck seen a spider was crawling on his shoulder and he flipped it
off and it landed in a lit candle. It shriveled up and died. Huck said it
would fetch him some awful bad luck. He got up and turned around three
times and crossed his breast every time. Then he tied up a little lock of
his hair with a thread to keep witches away. He says that the ritual he
did was for losing a found horseshoe and did not know if it would work.
These superstitions and remedies seem pretty far fetched and it is hard to
say where they originated, but I would have to say they originated down
South. I think it originated down south because I am from up North and I
have never heard any one speak of those superstitions. Huck believes in
these probably because he grew up with them and they were always taught to
him and he is so ignorant he does not know better.
One morning Huck turned over the salt-cellar at breakfast. He went
to throw the salt- cellar over his left shoulder to cancel the bad luck,
but Miss Watson stopped him. All day he wondered when something would fall
on him and what it would be. This all implies that Huck thinks something
is going to fall on him, because of his accident. I have heard about bad
luck from spilling salt so I think this Superstition started in the North
or maybe it was just popular and spread quickly. I do not believe there is
hardly any fact at all to this. Huck believes in this probably because of
the way he grew up.
Jim said when young chickens flew a yard or two at a time and
lighting it was a sign that it was going to rain. He thought if birds did
it, it would be the same. Also Jim said if you caught one of them you

"Pretty soon a spider went crawling up my shoulder, and I flipped it off and it lit in the candle; and before I could budge it was all shriveled up. I didn't need anybody to tell me that that was an awful bad sign and would fetch me some bad luck, so I was scared and most shook the clothes off of me" (1204).

Look inside any teenage girl magazine and one will find a page dedicated to horoscopes. From celebrities hiring their own astrologists to girls reading about their star signs, interpreting the stars and planets is very popular. Perhaps people want an answer to their questions or some insight on how to handle a situation. Reading his or her horoscope gives one the opportunity to understand the world around them, which is similar to the role of superstition in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Mark Twain, in his American Realistic novel, utilizes superstition in order to help the characters understand life and search for the truth (Cohen 68). Therefore, superstition plays an important role in the development of the characters in the novel.
This paper will have three parts. First, just renting a house in order to see just how hard it can be to rent a house and the problems that come with it. Second, we will look at buying a house to see how much credit and money it usually takes to buy a house. Finally, we will look at the benefits of “rent-to-own” options in order to see if it is truly the better option. I believe that the “rent-to-own” option is the better option because it is good for the owners selling the house to know they will get the money and it is good for the renters to see if they truly like the

In the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain the main character, Huck Finn, grows and learns many lessons. Throughout my life I have learned many similar lessons. In addition, I have discovered that there is a relationship between Huck's life lessons and my life lessons. Also I have learned many different lessons that Huck was dispossessed from learning. Twain's character, Huckleberry Finn, and I can be compared and contrasted through lessons we both have learned and lessons that only I have learned. During my life I have learned that lessons are hard, complex, and above all else are universal. One lesson that Huck and I have shared in learning is that a person can choose to escape an unfair situation. Huck escaped his abusive father and was taken in by the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson. I too escaped an abusive father. When I was six years old my mother divorced my father and I decided to live with her. Another lesson that Huck learns is to be his own person. He learns this when he left Tom Sawyer and his gang for his own adventures. I learned this same lesson when some friends wanted to go to a concert on a night that I had school and a project due the next day. I did not go with them and even though my friends had fun, I was proud to be an individual. Additionally, Huck learns that friends are very important because they are always there for you. He and Jim become very close over their long trip down the river. They do things for each other that shows that they are friends. Tom helps Huck rescue their friend Jim from slavery. Huck and Tom free Jim because he is a good friend to them. I have also learned that friends are a tremendous part of my life. On various occasions, friends have helped me study for important tests. Consequently, Huck and I have learned similar important life lessons though the experiences were different. On the contrary, there are also a few lessons that I have learned that Huck has not learned. I have learned that you must deal with your problems instead of running away 12/19/98 from them.

RTO targets the lower middle class, all the way to unemployed individuals and even those in government assistance. They know a customer can not afford it but they will rent to them anyway, anticipating that the customer will not be able to pay RTO centers encouraging unregulated renting practices since the majority of its profits come from repossessions.
He was walking down the streets when he seen a little kid just getting ready for bed so he snuck over to the bushes and waited for the kid to get in bed and he did the same thing he did to Mary at her house, but for the little kids he would let them fall dead asleep.
