Next day Pap returns drunk and demands for Huck and his money to Judge Thatcher. At first, the town agrees that Huck should go with his father but Pap gets arrested because of a drunken spree. He was going to be released but soon they start to think about maybe the only solutions is shooting Pap.
Time Period-
The time period in the book was between 1830-1840 when slavery was legal in some places.
How does the perspective/point-of-view of the narrator influence the story?
It affects it drastically because a 12-year-old has a different more dramatic point of view in life, making the book more exaggerative.
TIMELINE
By Jessica Turcios
This is the timeline for the Pony Express. At first, we used drum signals to warn or communicate with others. Then They used smoke signals to call someone up but that's a fire hazard. Then we used pigeons, like the old version of Twitter, but your mail could get lost so we finally used the pony express. The road was long but it was successful until the telegram came and decided to make everything easier. After the telegram, we started using local mailmen and slowly but surely phones took over and letters were rare.
