Chapter 33-THE END

Chapter 33

Right away in the beginning the send a fairy boat off to the cave. As they open the cave they find Injun Joe's body laying upon the ground, dead. They buried him near the site and floods of people came in on boats and fairies to see the funeral. The next morning Huck and Tom get together and talk. Huck and Tom both know now that the money is in the cave. They plan for there adventure into the cave to get the money. But of course Huck chicken's out and believes that Injun Joe's ghost is around the area so he decides to persuade Tom to get out of there. But they kept going. They found the money. And as they head out of the cave talk about where to hide it. On the way down from the cave. They come up the Welshman's house. The Welshman brought them down to the widows house and the boy's were told to change into better clothes and to bathe. From here I haven't got a clue whats going on...

Chapter 34

So to shorten this chapter. Huck went to the dinner at the Widows. There story was shared and the Widow was so grateful she offered Huck a full home and money for school and a future job. Tom and Huck both decided that it was time that he show them the money they found. Everyone was astounded when they saw it. And the room went silent...

Chapter 35

Well this last chapter is mostly just explaining, how much of an impact these boy's adventure had on the world. They were carried as legends and were huge impacts on society. And there story was told in many places. This is probably a chapter you just need to read.

It concludes of Mark Twain talking about how they turned out in life. as well as Huck really didn't seem happy with his life with the widow so Tom and him talked. They decided they would take there joyous life for another turn. And start a gang.

These kids have/had very interesting way's of playing!

That's how the story ends as well. There are more books to be read. But I am not sure if we are going to conquer those or not. Joy reading with you!

30-32

Chapter 30
This chapter starts with Huck going back to the Welshman’s to see what happened last night. So Mr. Welshman and Huck talked about that night and then Huck told him that the Spaniard was Injun Joe. Later in the chapter after the town learned about what happened last night with the villains, they learned that Tom and Becky are missing. Most of the town's people went down to the cave to look for Tom and Becky. Huck is in bed with a fever and Widow Douglas was watch over him.

Chapter 31
This goes starts about three days ago in the book anyway. Tom gets Becky and him lost in the cave. You could tell that they are sort of scare mean at least Becky. Then were able to get by some water then ate some cake and they candles were almost out. So after and few day past Tom and Becky heard a voice thinking it was someone looking for them but it wasn't. It was Injun Joe. So Tom gets really scared and turns like dead silent. Injun Joe doesn’t stay long and doesn't really seem to care that Tom was there. Tom decides to go exploring and leave Becky there to rest but come back every once in a while to check on her. And that's pretty much how this chapter ends.

Chapter 32
So it's Tuesday and most of the people that were searching gave up on the kids. Becky and Tom were finally found. Tom was in bed for a few days and Becky was in bed till about Sunday. Huck is getting better but it still sick. Tom stops by the Thatcher’s house and that's when he told the Judge the Injun Joe was still in the cave, and Tom learned that the cave was locked up because of what had happened to Becky and Tom.

So what do you think happened to Injun Joe? Do you think Tom and Huck will ever get the treasure?

Chapter 29

This Chapter was interesting. Huck was still watching the door. And Tom pretty much split of into another part of the story but nothing really happened. He went to a cave and searched around. He described it as romantic and mysterious. But as Huck was watching the door, two men came upon him. He followed to see what was going to happen for they had the box he was looking for. As the men were talking very murderous talk. Huck got very scared but now that he knew there plan he wanted to do something about it. So, he ran back and up to the Welshmans. He told what he had heard and the talking was to be finished as they were walking up the streets with there weapons.

What will happen if someone where to find out Huck said anything?
Do you think that Tom will believe Huck when he tells him..will anyone?

I think anyone will if the Welshmans. I am scared to see what unfolds now.

Chapter 27 and 28

Chapter 27

After believing that the treasure and all they went through yesterday was all a dream. Tom and Huck are searching for the, patch eyed Spanish’s number 2. What do you think number two is? (Besides 2.) What do you think about Tom and Huck’s knack of coming across things they shouldn’t be seeing? First Potter and now Injun Joe and his friend.


Chapter 28

They’re staking the tavern. The first three days, nothing. Thursday however, Tom disappeared down the alley behind the tavern to try the backdoor. Before Huck could meet up with Tom, Tom comes tearing out of the alley, yelling for Huck to run. Later, when they caught their breath Tom tells of who he finds behind the door. Injun Joe, drunk. Tom didn’t notice the box or anything. Which I don’t blame him due to the fact if I almost stepped on a known murderer and probably a guy who wouldn’t hesitant to hurt you. They plan for Huck to stand watch over the door, and fetch Tom whenever he does. Then Tom will hopefully find the box and take it.

Do you think their plan is going to work?

Chapter 26

This Chapter was surprising. Huck and Tom went to the haunted house to find buried treasure. With out realizing it was a friday they settled down and decided to not dig for any. As they were planning to head out. A couple of unknown people showed up to the house. It sounded like they were having a meeting of importance for a secret mission. The boy's really didn't care as mcuh as they were frightened. Not knowing what they were doing and not knowing what the men could do to Huck and Tom they lay frightened in the upstairs. Hoping that the men won't find them! After they left Tom and Huck went home. What did you think...Are you worried the men are going to try and find them at all?

Chapter 25

This chapter starts out with Tom wanting to find buried treasure. As he travels off to find Huck and talk to him about this grand adventure they are going to encounter her tries to figure out where they are going to dig. This is essentially what this chapter holds happening the whole time. As soon as Tom and Huck figure out a time to go dig up there treasure they find themselves almost scared of what they will dig up. They tlak baout what they will use there findings for. But as they keep the conversation going they get scared of what the witches and ghosts will do to them as they get it.

I like the detail in this chapter. For instance mark Twain describes where they are digging very well. He discribes is kind of spoky but in a little kids way almost. Here's an example of what I liked in this Chapter:

- "The boys were there that night, about the appointed time. They sat in the shadow waiting. It was a lonely place, and an hour made solemn by old traditions. Spirits whispered in the rustling leaves, ghosts lurked in the murky nooks, the deep baying of a hound floated up out of the distance, an owl answered with his sepulchral note. The boys were subdued by these solemnities, and talked little. By and by they judged that twelve had come; they marked where the shadow fell, and began to dig. Their hopes commenced to rise. Their interest grew stronger, and their industry kept pace with it. The hole deepened and still deepened, but every time their hearts jumped to hear the pick strike upon something, they only suffered a new disappointment. It was only a stone or a chunk." -

Other wise I will keep trying to post. Very sorry for the delay on this chapter. I am going to try and start posting everyday. We need to finish the book. Bye now - Alison -

Chapter 24

Short chapter again. I'm happy for Potter, being released. And of course being spoiled, the community trying to make up for imprisoning him.
Do you think that Injun Joe will try to get revenge on Tom and Huck? How would he do it? Where do you think he is hiding?

Chapter 23

So Chapter 23 was a little bit of a depressing chapter don't you think? I mean all the talk about hanging and the scared note of Huck's voice. (Even though you can't hear him, you can tell he's really nervous.)
This chapter starts out with Huck and Tom visiting Potter. What do you think about the ease of being able to talk to and give tabacoo and matches to Potter?
Then the next day is the trial, everyone's assumed that Potter is as good as dead, until Tom's little surprise. What do you think about Tom's surprise, is it the right or wrong thing to do?
What is your reaction to Injun Joe being called a Half-Breed? So Joe is on the loose, are you at all nervous for Tom and Huck?

Chapter 22

Well this chapter was relatively short, covering a little bit of the funeral. Tom gets measles. And everyone turns religious. Becky’s gone on vacation so Tom doesn’t really have anything to look forwards to. Well, I have one question for you all, and this concludes this short post.
What do you think about everyone’s interest in religion?
