We read together from Twain's essay "The Decay of the Art of Lying." We read and annotated the first half. We will continue work on this tomorrow. We then read together pages 109-111 of Huck Finn. We discussed Sherburn's speech and what Twain might be saying about Southern culture. He seems to be pointing out a different kind of hypocrisy than that which he highlighted with the Grangerford episode, a hypocrisy of cowardice masquerading as bravado.
Homework:
Read through page 123 of Huck Finn.
Be prepared to present your fashion analysis any day this week.
