The Sheperdson and Grangerford families appear, on the surface, to be/have __________________________ (chosen theme). During Huck’s time with the families they display this _________________________ (theme) when they ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (general overview of an instance in which they appear to have what is needed to prove theme). Twain depicts this when ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (TEXT to prove it). However, in reality, the families are not ___________________________ (theme) because they _________________________________________________________________________________ (general instance when they do something that negates theme). They even go so far as to ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (TEXT to prove it). Despite acting as if they are _____________________ (theme) by _________________________________________________ (general idea one), the families reveal their true nature when they ______________________________________________ (general idea two). By observing this inconsistency, Huck is able to consider the idea that ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (overall lesson learned from the inconsistency about the theme). From this inconsistency Huck is able to learn ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (lesson about the specified theme we as the reader learn along with Huck). Through the use of colloquial diction and irony, Twain is able to the character of Pap to posit that the accepted values of being civilized in society are disregarded based on skin color. Being civilized in society at the time is perceived as being education, well-mannered, and knowledgeable. Pap characterizes the professor with all of these traits by saying, "he was a p'fessor in a college, and could talk all kinds of languages, and knowed everything," and "there ain't a man in town that's got as fine as what he had." Despite characterizing him as civilized, Pap believes he should be "put up at auction and sold," simply because he is a black man. By societal standards of being civilizes, Pap is far less civilized and educated than the black professor. Pap's speech indicates that he is not far along in his own eduction. Twain utilizes Pap's colloquial diction of "p'fressor" and "ain't that the wust" to illustrate Pap's lack of knowledge. Despite the professor's obvious intellectual superiority over Pap, Pap still believes he should not be able to vote simply because of the color of his skin. Twain uses Pap's opinion to illustrate the inconsistency with ideals of being civilized in regards to black people.

Text annotated for the specified device (underline, italics, bold font) 5. TWO bullet points that address what is being made fun of and how (this is just what we have been doing again and again) From chapters four-seven satirically commenting on the the views of education:
Through the use of colloquial and unlearned diction and the use of irony, Twain is able to use the character of Pap to comment on the twisted and disjointed views of education in the American South.(the comment Twain is making through the satire) During his conversation with Huck, Pap characterizes education as inherently negative because it allows Huck to “put on airs over his own father” and make Huck believe he is “better” than others. (how it is depicted in the context of the novel) This is distinctly incongruous to the societal perception of education as not inherently negative but inherently empowering. Education is about the acquisition of knowledge to make a person more capable and adept at achieving success within the construct of society. (the social perception which is different from how it is perceived in the novel) Twain highlights that Pap himself even feels compelled to honor education, almost as if it were a magic trick, when he commands Huck, “…lemme hear you read.” (the textual example of the element of satire) This irony of this is that he spends several moments scolding and demeaning Huck for his ability to read but now takes a keen interest in hearing his son do just that. (how the elements helps Twain make his satirical point) By exploring Pap’s own inconsistent idea about education Twain is able to underscore the troubled relationship adults have with education: the desire to empower and better children while still maintaining authority and power over them. (the overall comment Twain is making about that particular concept) |
