Post1: Huck Finn Response (Ch.1-Ch.12)

So far in the first 12 chapters of Huck Finn, a lot has happened. At first Huck is living with the Widow Douglas and has 6 thousand dollars. Huck's dad hears about the money and comes to get it from Huck. Huck already gave the money to the judge, so it is technically judge thatchers money now. Huck's dad kidnaps Huck and takes him across the Mississippi river and they live in a cabin. Huck's dad is a drunk and kind of abusive. Huck Escapes the cabin and goes down stream to Jackson island in a canoe her found floating down the river. When Huck escaped his dad had left for town and Huck faked his death. He finds that his Slave friend Jim, is also a runaway and they stick together.

In the first 12 chapters, the book is pretty good. It gets boring sometimes, but you always want to know whats going to happened next, which keeps you awake and still reading. I like that there are interesting parts of the book even though some are boring and kinda ramble. I don't like that sometimes the wording is just way too southern for reading! Of mice and men was a little more interesting than Huck Finn is so far.
