DO NOT plagiarize information from Cliff Notes, Spark Notes, or any other such source. DO NOT COPY another student s work or share your own work with another student. Responses are to be ed to dcampbell@servitehs.org by JULY 30, You will get a reply within two-three days acknowledging receipt. If you do not receive a reply, assume I do not have your assignment and take the necessary steps to get it to me. There will also be a reading check exam on The Hobbit the first week of school Assignment: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain takes place in the pre-civil War south. It is a coming of age story about a thirteen year old white boy, Huckleberry Finn, who embarks on a journey down the Mississippi River with a runaway slave named, Jim. The novel contains several examples of humor, irony, conflict, adventure, and more. Your assignment is to note Huck s growing conscience as you read the novel. Huck will tell the reader that he was not brought up right, that he isn t courageous, and that he doesn t really know the difference between right and wrong. He perceives that he does not have morals or values and he usually feels like he has done the wrong thing. However, evidence of Huck s conscience is obvious. He does act courageously throughout the novel, and, more often than not, does the correct thing. Identify seven instances in the novel where Huck s conscience is evident times where he struggles between doing right and doing wrong, times where he feels bad about something he is doing, times when he feels bad about what other people are doing, or times when he feels compassion or sympathy for something he has witnessed. Next, write a sentence summarizing the instance of conscience. Then, cite a passage/quote that represents the instance. Include the number of the chapter from which it came at the end of your quote. An example has been done for you. You may not use this example yourself, even if it is a thought that occurred to you. Set up your papers so it looks like the example below. Example: 1) Example of Conscience: Huck is worried about the robbers aboard the sinking Walter Scott. Even though he knows they are not good people, it makes him feel bad to think that they might drown and die. Passage/Quote: Now was the first time I begun to worry about the men I reckon I hadn t had time to before. I begun to think how dreadful it was, even for murderers, to be in such a fix. I says to myself, there ain t no telling but I might come to be a murderer myself, yet, and then how would I like it? (Chapter 13) Again, do not copy work from another student or claim that work that is not yours is yours!

The first one has been done for you. Aspect of Culture In the World State In the United States Today Human Life In the world state, human life is created through the Bokanovsky and Podsnap Processes that allow the Hatchery to produce thousands of nearly identical human embryos. During the gestation period the embryos travel in bottles along a conveyor belt through a factorylike building. Social status and looks are determined in this conditioning. Life is not created through an act of love. It is very biological and unemotional. Children are then brainwashed into believing the values of the World State through the process of hypnopaedic methods or sleep-teaching. In the United States today, human life is hopefully created when a man and a woman are in love with each other and decide to procreate together. The number of children they hope to have is decided by them. Social status and looks are left to chance. Values, etc. are instilled in children by their parents/guardians. Death Love and Marriage
