Huck Finn 3: 47-66

Definitions-
1) rubbage- rubbish
"We found a brass button in his stomach, and a round ball, and lots of rubbage" (Twain 64).

2) Speculate- to engage in any business transaction involving considerable risk or the chance of large gains
"What did you speculate in, Jim?" (56).

Quote:
"Jim, this is nice... I wouldn't want to be nowhere else but here" (59).

Explanation: Huck is telling Jim that it is nice to be out in the wide open ranges again. To get back to his roots and experience all he was missing while he was with the mistress and under his father's "care". He is glad to be with Jim and go on some adventures and just have fun. He still would not want to go back to the way his life was. He does not seem to like change and to be away from the woods. He just wants to stay and the wilderness and keep everything the same.

Quote: "I didn't look at him at all. Jim throwed some old rags over him, but he needn't done it; I didn't want to see him" (60).

Explanation- This quote reminds the reader that Huck is just a twelve year old child. Even though he smokes and does what he pleases. And he says he is willing to kill anybody. He is just a child who is afraid of death. As he was so afraid of the dead body that he did not want to acknowledge it. As many kids his age do when confronted with a similar situation.
