Huck Fin is extremely difficult to read. I’m dyslexic and words that aren’t already spelled right are pretty much impossible for me to understand. So most the time I just give up and then fail our quizzes. Not to mention how incredibly ridiculous the story is. Why is an adult male hanging out naked on a raft with a little boy, I don’t care what time period this book is in that’s just weird. And the house floating on the river thing we talked about for like 30min, they wouldn’t be able to get in a house if it was floating on the river like the way the tsunami took the house in Japan, it wouldn’t be possible. It may have been hanging in the water though. Also If Huck is feeling bad about robbing people with the “King and Duke” why doesn’t he and Jim just leave with the raft while there out robbing people?? I feel like most of the time the interpretations we say in class are wrong maybe he meant exactly what he wrote, why does have to mean anything differently? I HATE this book and I HATE that we have to read it.

Is truth subjective?
Truth is not subjective; the way a person perceives truth can be subjective. When two different people see something happen and go tell someone else, the way they tell it won’t be exactly the same. Both of these people could be telling the truth but they took different things from the event. However the truth of the event is unchanging. A persons perspective can be influenced on a situation due to prior events. They can slant the truth do to their perspective but that still doesn’t change the events truth. To much of a slant however would just be no longer truth. Truth can never be changed that why it’s truth.
On the other hand, all truth is based off a lack of alterations. We say "Tomorrows a new day" is truthful because we have never witnessed any other occurrence, the sun not setting and rising again, to disprove it.

The Right To Bare Arms
The weather is hot. Batman and Robin have retreated to the Bat-cave to discuss the issue that is affecting the superhero community at the moment.
“Holy Spandex Batman! You’re trying to take away my right to bare arms” Robin exclaimed.
“Now Robin… long sleeve spandex complements the uniform tremendously” Batman said smoothly.
“Well golly gee Batman it's got to be 100 degrees outside” Robin said worried.
“It may be a tad warmer but it’s much more aero dynamic.”
“Jumping Jelly fish Batman, I don’t think you realize what you’re taking away.”
“And what is that Robin?”
“A chance to see this gun show!” Robin flexed his arms in several different poses. “I should have a permit for these, because they are scary dangerous.
“Robin I don’t think you’re taking this seriously.” Robins smile faded. “The superhero community said this issue must be resolve in each superhero team, within 0700 hours or else they’ll take matters into their own hands.” Batman’s voice was stern.
“Well gosh Batman, when you put it that way…” Robin’s eyes dropped to the floor.
“No fear Robin we’ll come up with something” Batman assured. He put his hands on his hips in a very dramatic way and looked up to the sky to think. Robin mimicked Batman’s pose and also started to think.
“Holy Loophole Batman! What exactly was the direction from headquarters?”
“They said that each superhero team was responsible for determining their right to bare arms.”
“THAT’S IT!”
“Spit it out Robin!”
“We decide our right so….”
“Yes?”
“What If one of us uses their right to bare arms and the other keeps their right to clothed arms?”
“That’s so simple it just might work!”
“To the closet!”

How does Huckleberry Finn's life compare to mine?
In the first part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn we learn a lot about him. Huck lives with a widow, and didn't hear from his dad until he found a bunch of money. My childhood is in a lot of ways very different from Huck's. For starters I live with both my parents, when Huck doesn't live with either of them. Huck has a very confused opinion on religion. Hes has two different people telling him about heaven and hell that he thinks heaven is boring and hell would be more fun. As a child I grew up in the church. My opinion of it has never been blurred. Huck's child hood does have some similarity to mine. He has a friend that doesn't always understand him, but what little kid doesn't. When your a kid you meet someone and they're your best friend. He plays pretend games in the woods, just like any other kid. Another difference would be that Huck grew up in the time of slavery. Like me he knew it was wrong but I never actually saw it, and lived through it.
