Huck Finn

In pages 71-91 Tom, Huck and Jim are all on the raft floating along the Mississippi River when a storm came along and stirred up a ship wreck and they found boots, blanckets, and other necessities. They take the items and continue down the river. Then one night when Jim was sleeping Huck played a trick on Jim by leaving the raft. When Jim woke up he was alone and scared, then he fell asleep again and then Huck came back to the raft and when Jim wokw up he was so happy to see Huck and asked why he left, but Huck played with Jims mind and said that he had been on the raft the whole time.

Realism

Realism is about exactly what its name is, real. This form of writing is not fake in any way, shape, or form, this type of writing is known for its truth about topics that are written under this form of writing. Realism emphasises the ordinary, the everyday, and even the unpleasent aspects of life in general. Life is hard, too many people try and make life seem like it is ok, when really their life could be going up in smoke. But realist are not like those people they tell a story like it is, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson is, in my opinion, a transendentalist writer. In her peoms she speaks of nature and how much she loves and respects nature eventhough she has not lived in the woods, but niether did Emerson. She also has many of the morals that transendentalist writes have. Therefore she is a transendentalist writer.

Quotes from "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman

“ I concentrate toward them that are nigh, I wait on the door-slab.”

This quote is stating that people should live in the present. They should focus on the things and people that are in their life at that time, instead of wandering what will happen in the future, or worrying about the things in the past. The part of the quote that says, “ I wait on the door-slab” is indicating the past the present and the future. The things behind you are the things in the past the world outside and in front on you is the future and finally, the small space in between the past and future is the present.

“ I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.”

This quote is saying that when people die even though their body is not alive they are still apart of the earth, and are still there with you. When someone dies and is buried their body becomes apart of the soil and the grass in the earth. That is why the quote says, “If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.” That person may not be walking around but they are still very much with you.
