Huck Finn Reader Response 1 (1-6)

Huck Finn Reader Response 1: (1-6)
Parental Relations

My quote came from when pap came home and tried to get Huck’s money and the judge wouldn’t give it to him. “Next day he was drunk, and he went to Judge Thatcher’s and bullyragged him and tried to make him give up the money, but he couldn’t, and then he swore he’d make the law force him.”
(Chapter 5, Page 16, Paragraph 3)

I think what is being said is stupid. Its Huck’s money and pap has no right to try and take it, and the fact that he said that he would get the law to get the judge to give him the money. This relates to my life because I’ve read book about things like this. I really feel that it is wrong for a parent to try and take a child’s money and using it for only themselves and not for the child in the first place. Huck should be able to decide what he wants to do with his money.

I think Mark Twain would say the same thing I do. Pap should not be trying to force the Judge to give him Huck’s money just because he is Huck’s father. This relates to his life because it basically is his life. Mark Twain probably thinks this is wrong but I have no sure source if that’s exactly what he thinks
