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.
