Today I collected students' reflections on why Huckleberry Finn matters to them.
We then discussed the central theme from the novel of self-betrayal and bad faith. We saw that Twain's ideas are grounded in his assumptions about human nature and the nature of God. To help us understand the opposite of bad faith, we will be studying the fourth lecture from the Lectures on Faith.
Homework:
Finish your SOAPSTone analysis of Huckleberry Finn. You should have it all done except for last minute questions you may want to ask tomorrow. Remember, you should write down as much as you can for each of the SOAPSTone categories:
Speaker
Occasion
Audience
Purpose
Subject
Tone
