In today's reading, Huckleberry's dad was all drunk. Earlier he had been rambling about the government being bad. Later he drank more and slowly he started to fall asleep. Huckleberry was planning on escaping as soon as his father fell asleep, but Huckleberry had fallen asleep also. Huckleberry's dad started screaming about snakes biting him and that the devil was after him. He called Huck the the Angel of Death, and started to chase him around with a knife.
I think that the dad should go to rehab and this time actually stop drinking and change his life around.
