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 -
