Huck Finn-Summary
Tom and Huck have all these things that they need to get for Jim and one of the things was a spoon. Aunt Sally noticed that one of them were gone and during breakfast they also realized a bunch of other things were gone. Everyone kept finding excuses for the things missing and never blamed it on someone stealing it. They ended up finding the spoon in Uncle Silas's jacket and then Huck and Tom decided that he wasn't a reliable person so they would have to use Aunt Sally to get the things to Jim. They then played a joke on Aunt Sally with the spoons. She would count them and there would be 10, but when she counted again there would be 9 and that went on for awhile. They also did that with the other items that Jim needed. Also in these chapters they were with Jim and they went to go get him a rock so he could write what he wanted to on it, but it was too heavy so they snuck him out of the hut and Jim helped them get the rock into the hut. They also made a pie for the black slave watching Jim, for his witch project, and they put the rope in it for Jim. Then they were with Jim in his hut and Tom kept saying everything that Jim needed to do while he was a prisoner because all the things he was saying is what real prisoners do. They were absurd things some examples would be the rattle snake, spiders, play music for the spiders, have a mouse, watering a plant with his tears and scratching words into a rock. Jim didn't really like the idea of any of these things, but he said that he wasn't being a very good prisoner so he would just do what he was told from now on. I thought everything Tom was saying and having Jim do was funny. They are things that are so ridiculous it was funny.
