"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was first published on Feb. 18, 1885.

4. Who did Jim run away from?

Answer: He thought Huck is a ghost.

Jim, like the rest of the town, thought that Huck had been murdered. Jim thought Huck was a ghost.

7. What does Huck say comes because he handled a snakeskin?

Answer: Jim was bitten by a rattlesnake.

Jim told Huck that bad luck was coming, because Huck picked up a snakeskin. Huck killed a rattler and curled it up on Jim's blanket to scare him. When the snake's mate bites Jim, Huck is convinced it all comes from handling that snakeskin.

8. To salve their consciences on the right or wrong of 'borrowing' food, what two things do they decide never to 'borrow'?

Answer: crabapples and persimmons

Since crabapples never tasted good, and persimmons were not ripe yet, it was not much of a sacrifice, was it?

9. What were the stage names used by the Duke of Bridgewater and the Dauphin of France?

Answer: David Garrick and Edmund Kean

They billed themselves as David Garrick and Edmund Kean. Basil Rathbone, William Gillette, Basil Rathbone, and Jeremy Brett were all fine actors who played Sherlock Holmes.

10. Who, at the end of the story, wanted to adopt and 'sivilize' Huck?

Answer: Aunt Sally

Yes, Aunt Sally wanted to civilize Huck, but Huck did not want any part of it. If you enjoyed this book, Mark Twain wrote many other fine novels. Mark Twain was the pen name of American writer Samuel Clemens (1835-1910). The character Huckleberry Finn was based on Clemens' childhood friend, Tom Blankenship. Tom, according to Clemens, was "ignorant, unwashed, insufficiently fed; but he had as good a heart as any boy had." Thank you for taking my quiz on Huckleberry Finn.
