I dont really get these boys. they just make up rules that they believe and follow. For example, when Tom and Huck go looking for the treasure in the cave (after Injun Joe died) Huck starts getting all scared because Injun Joe's spirit might be haunting the cave or what not. Then Tom starts making up all these things like he'll only haunt the mouth of the cave or whatever. how can they be so... trusting in their own fantasies?
and when they found the gold, they each got about $12k? or was it altogether? but I bet that nobody thought bad about them after they were rich. the book said they earned about $1 a day (or a week or something) as interest from the bank? and that $1 was about a year's boarding cost... so they'd make filthy rich incomes in a few weeks already. so that's probably the equivalent of making about... $1000 or more a day/week/month nowadays. 0_o
at the end of the book, when huck doesnt want to lead the "rich" life anymore, i was really dissapointed. i guess huck was too used to his old way of life, and hated the confines of society. most of us would have thought that life with the widow would have been a much better alternative, so it was a little unnerving that huck didn't like his life there. even with the stuffiness, he could have found someway to have days off to go fishing or w.e like Tom had. when Tom and Huck decide to become robbers after... i mean, they hadn't learned anything at all! it just proves that boys never grow up ;P jkjk

You need only 3 more posts. To bad they're due tomorrow. As of the 15th. That's what Mothini told me. Tom and Huck do have some pretty stange thought's. They need to learn that not everything you read is true.
mueller's blog says you have to post all tom sawyer ones by the 18th... i think that's saturday. and about tom and huck, they didnt even read about those things! they just thought of them randomly (like the dead cat thing or w.e)
I think it was 2k in all wasn't it...? Not sure it was while since I read this :P
And they were given $1 each week each. It was like a % pay off I forget how much. And $1 was pay for 1 week of boarding I think. So the equivalent of $1 per week back then is like $300 or so per week. I'm not sure about all this though cause I left my book at school today >_<
I am so sorry. I think I got messed up on what day the 18th was. I never really was good at what day of the week it is. The reason why Huck probably didn't like his new life is because he got thrown into it. If you go from being a social outcast to someone is the center of attention you would get rather scared and scince he was still a kid he hated it because unlike Tom he wasn't raised in that enviroment.
