“Yes, he’s got a father, but you can’t never find him these days. He used to lay drunk with the hogs in the tanyard, but he hain’t been seen in these parts for a year or more.”
This quote is said by Ben Rogers to Tom Sawyer about Huck. This quote is stating the kind of father Huck has. He is a drink, and is never around. There are a lot of kids out there that have fathers that are like this. On one hand you feel bad for Huck because he has to live a life without a father to guide him and be a good role model for him. But on the other hand with a father like that you don’t want him around so that he can’t influence Huck in a bad way.
“No sir,” I says, “I don’t want to spend it. I don’t want it at all- nor the six thousand nuther, I want you to take it; I want to give it to you- the six thousand and all.”
This quote is said by Huck to Judge Thatcher about Huck’s money. Huck doesn’t want his money because he knows that if he has money then when his dad comes back then his dad will get the money. Huck decides to sell his money to the Judge for a dollar. The reason he sold it to the Judge for a dollar is to make sure it didn’t look like the Judge stole it from Huck. Huck doesn’t need money and he wants to make sure his dad doesn’t get it.
