Literary Analysis: Part 1
Diction: The sentence structure shows the degree of education a character has.
Example: “‘That’s the name,’” I says, “‘I most forgot it. Well, Miss Mary Jane she told me to tell you she's gone over there in a dreadful hurry’” (Twain 173).Slide7
Literary Analysis: Part 2
Figurative Language: Though scarce, Twain uses figurative language to paint a picture.
Example: “ The duke he never let on that he suspicioned what was up, but just went a goo-gooing around, happy and satisfied, like a jug that’s googling out buttermilk”( Twain 199). Slide8
Literary Analysis: Part 3
Theme: Need to be aware of what is going on around you. Don’t just act to benefit yourself, but others too.
Example: “Of course I wanted to slide down and get out of there but I dasn’t try it”(Twain 183). Slide9
Study Guide: Question #6
Why does Huck say at the end of Ch. 28, “Tom Sawyer couldn't ‘a’ done it no neater himself. Of course he would ‘a’ throwed more style into it, but I can't do that very handy, not being brung up to it”?
Huck isn’t as accustomed to doing “good deeds” like Tom is (as seen in the quote). Huck is acknowledging the fact that he is doing good, though not as skillfully due to lack of practice. Slide10
