Week at a glance October 28 - November 1, 2013

This week we will continue reading and discussing section from Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  Our goal for this week is to read pages 117-156.  During this section Huck and Jim fall under the influence of two con men.  We'll read and analyze their adventures as the group of four make their way through the ante-bellum South.  Be on the lookout for Twain's very subtle use of satire and sarcasm to make some sharp points about society.
