Chapter XXXV
a new order of things • poor Huck • new adventures planned
SummaryThe two boys are now worshiped by the town. Whatever they do, say, or go, they are treated like angels. The Judge and the widow have put Huck and Tom’s money away and they get about a dollar a day. The Judge also wants to put Tom in the military and then law school. He is very fond of Tom now, especially when he learns about how Tom saved his daughter from a whipping.
Although Tom is getting a lot love (Huck too), Huck is hating his life at the widows. Everything is too clean, too perfect, and too uncomfortable. Huck then runs away, only to be found by Tom, who convinces him to come back to the widows. He tells Huck that if he if he is not proper like everybody else, he cannot join the gang. By explaining this to Huck, he agrees to come home. |
analysis |
Even though, Tom and Huck are now worshiped "adults" by the town, Huck hates his new civilized life at Widow Douglas's because he will never be able to get rid of how he was "raised," no matter how much he has changed.
