Satires are All Around In HF
Well, if I were to ever pick up a book with endless amounts of satirical referances, Huck Finn was probably one of the best, because I must say; I am not disappointed. Here’s one I found while reading:
“Trouble has done it, Bilgewater, trouble has done it; trouble has brung these gray hairs and this premature balditude. Yes gentlemen, you see before you, in blue pants and misery, the wanderin’, exiled, trampled-on, and sufferin’ rightful King of France.” -p120
I thought this was pretty funny as seeing how these crazy old guys who Huck just randomly met (as he does a lot of people throughout these chapters I suppose) speak english pretty well (and by the looks of it with a pretty good southern accent) and claim their King and Dukes of France. Shouldn’t such high quality or at least former high quality men of France be a little more well kept and more…French? The Satire alert is a blowin’.
