Blog Post 4: Huck Finn: Setting Description

My Room

I awaken to the sweet smell of Blueberry Pancakes on a warm, nice, cozy Saturday morning in my full set bed with thick comforters, nice and pink and warm. My room is my sanctuary. I can go there whenever I like, it’s very, very close to home, and I have my privacy. It’s like my own little house. I have a computer, television, a radio, telephone, and desk. I never have to leave there unless I need to get something to eat (mini-fridge coming soon) :) I can just relax and listen to my music, looking at the beautiful colors of pink and brown (my favorite colors put together). All of my company loves my room because it so comfortable and relaxing. Soon as you walk into my room it takes away all your stress and worries, especially when I have my vanilla scented candle lit. When I go into my room I feel as if I am relaxing on the nice, sandy beaches of the Bahamas. It makes me feel very relaxed and comfortable. It’s the one place where I know I can be myself and no-one can judge me. I’ve been walking into this sanctuary for almost 2 years when my family and I first moved to Redford. This room means so much to me and I would hate to have to wake up one morning w/o being in there knowing I will not be returning :( I love MY ROOM!!!!! :)

Post 1: Huck Finn Response (Ch.1-Ch.10)

Huck Finn is about a young boy who was adopted by a widow. He had $6,ooo that his father was trying to take away from him. He didn't want to be in the custody of his father or the widow. So when the judge said he had to live with his father, he faked his death and ran away. While he was out sneaking around trying not to be found, he ran into a slave named Jim that had also ran away. So now the two are trying to escape.

So far the book is okay. I don't like how the author spells and his grammar. It's kind of confusing to keep up with who's talking because of the dialect he uses. Even though I do like how the book is adventurous and mysterious. It keeps the reader interested. So far I like this book better than Of Mice and Men because its far more interesting.
