The second nigh of the show was packed and everyone again laughed and had a great time. The third night was different, their was new people, but this time their pockets were full. I'm guessing that they were going to throw vegetables and fruit at the King and Duke. The Duke and Huck was this coming so when the Duke stopped tending the table the door, he turned off the lights and made his escape along with Huck. The King came along a little after.
I guess both the King and the Duke have had some past experiences about how the crow gets at the third night of their show. I wonder what the crowd did when they realized that they have left. Hmmmmm.... what about the vegetables, did they throw them on each other or just kept them?

It was finally the night of the play for the Duke and the King. Only about twelve people had showed up and they all laughed at it and left before it was over. That had gotten the Duke mad and so he poster up a flayer said something like this; AT THE COURT HOUSE! For 3 Nights ONLY! Come see the tragedy and in Big words, LADIES AND CHILDREN NOT ADMITTED! The house was packed of men and the show was great all the man laughed and had great time.
The Duke really knows had to bring in a crowd. Man laugh at dumb things like what the Duke did. I mean thanks to the flayer he put on many man showed up to get drunk and have a great time laughing. Is that all men did back in the days?

After having the reenactment the whole crowd went down to Sherburn's house. The mob knock down his fence and wanted him hanged. Sherburn response to this was a laugh. He gave the mob a long speech of how telling them that they were cowards and they didn't fight with courage that's born in them but with courage that's borrowed from their mass. He also told them that they were to scared to hang him and he laughed. The crowd slowly started to walk away after having heard that.
If people are going to stand up and or mob for something they believe is right they might as well finish what they started. Like what we were talking about in class Put your money where your mouth is. Seriously people why start something and not finish it, why be cowards and just walk away.

After the three shots where fired, Boggs went down and everyone rushed over to see what had happened. Huck saw everything, he tried to squeeze his way through the crowd to get a closer view. The girl went rushing in towards her father and was panicking. She tough he was dead. He wasn't yet, some people helped pick him and took him over to the closets Drug Store and put him on the counter with the bible on top of his chest. Soon after he died. Everyone wanted to know what had happened so someone reenacted the whole scene, and the people who saw the actual event agreed with the man that that was how it had happened.
When I read this I felt as if I myself was their and saw the whole scene happened right before my eyes. I pictured it, me walking around and I see these two men confronting each other and one of them having a gun pointing at the other men. Then a girl running in screaming "Boggs!" and then "BANG" "BANG" BANG." Later everyone their rushes in to see what happened. Everyone spreads rumors of what happen and then they start to form a mob to kill Colonel Sherburn. Man people must have really respected Boggs or saw him as someone important.

Huck went wondering off to explore the town. When he was exploring he heard many people talking about this man named Boggs. Everyone seemed to have known him and by the sound of it, people were afraid.Huck heard someone calling for Boggs, he was trying to prevent Colonel Sherburn from shouting. When Boggs heard his name being called, he turned around, Colonel Sherburn took advantage of that and shoot the girls father three times, which was Boggs.
So everything seems to go fine, but then something bad always seems to happen when you thing Huck has finally started to have a happy life and family. I wonder how much of an effect this event could have on Huck's life. I also wonder why Colonel Sherburn shot Boggs, did he have something against him or did he just dislike him?

After having passed out the flyer's, Huck, the Duke, and the King went off to explore the town. The town was described more like an abandon place. The town looked old and dirty. Their were a lot of animals and several of drunk men fighting. I can see how this town would look like by the description from the book. I picture myself in this old town, filled with dirt and old beaten up houses, and seeing the circus. The circus might even be the only thing that's colorful their. I can picture me exploring around and walking by and seeing all of this circus stuff happening. I can see drunk men fighting and seeing them throw each other down.

This was from yesterday's days reading. After their long hours of practice, the Duke, the King and Huck were all ready to go to town to perform their skit. They had to leave Jim behind because of the newspaper entry. The King, Duke and Huck were in luck because the circus was in town, so that meant more of announcement for people to come watch them.
I wonder if people will really show up to watch them perform. I can imagine them acting their skits out and making the crowd laugh. I hope they make a lot of money and that they don't get involved into trouble like they always do. So far thing have been going well for all of them.

In that town, named Pokeville, they had found a poor pirate. This pirate was seen as someone who had done a complete change, a good change. In that town was where this pirate meet the preacher who helped him turn his life around. The preacher helped the pirate by telling him that he should start all over again as a better person, the preacher open the pirates eyes to see that their is more than just a pirate life. From this he took it upon himself to try to raise money to go back to the island where the rest of the pirates are and change their lives.
Its a good feeling to have when you make or help someone change their life around, into a more better life. You know you changed for the better and or you help someone change because they needed a change in their life. And if that inspires that person to try to help others turn their life around, its great. As long as its for the best. Those people I would consider as someone that I would look up to. Because it would be like someone telling you what to do and them not having done it or do the complete opposite. No its them actually talking about their experience and how that helped them change. :)

Huck, Jim, the Duke and the King, were all finally getting along. Everyone was having a great time, then the Duke and the King started talking about the story "Romeo and Juliet." Huck was the interested in the story because he had never heard of it before. So the Duke and the King were planning to act out the balcony scene, but they needed some more props. So they went to the nearest town to buy what they needed and to get food. The weird thing was that the town was almost deserted, the only people still their were the sick people.
Things are good great for Huck and Jim again, but then something always seems to happen along the way. This part of the story is pretty weird. To walk into a town u never seen before and see that its pretty empty, except that its not, because their are still sick people. That's creepy! People just pack up and leave. That just sad. I guess that's what people did back in the days to try to avoid getting sick.

Huck had realized that the two men were not what they said they were, not Kings nor Dukes, but liars, frauds, and low-down humbugs. Huck never said anything to anyone about what he had realized not even to Jim. Huck wanted the family to be in peace and not in quarrels. The supposedly "Kings and Dukes," would always be arguing with one another, Huck and Jim did not like that they were always fighting. Huck and Jim tried their best to ignore them. I'm glad that Huck was not fooled by the two man, but I don't get why he doesn't just leave them if those two men just keep causing problems. But yet again, Huck want to feel like he has a family and that their are no feuds, like the old family he was with. I wonder if Jim has made that same realization? Well at least theirs more people to the family, and they try to get along. That makes me wonder how big could a raft be to fit four people and their made up beds. That must be one big raft.

The two men that Huck and Jim had found was an old man and his friend. Supposedly the old man's line of family was related to the Duke of Bridgewater, and that the last line in the family that was a Duke, was his great-grandfather. His great-grandfather came to the U.S. and married, and soon after died. The man had told Huck and Jim that he would preferred to be called "Bridgewater," and that he would very much appreciate if Huck and Jim waited on him for dinner and died everything he would ask them. I think the old man is just drunk and lying. Hahahah! But if he's telling the truth, then that sucks to loss your families line in royalty. I wonder if this relationship with the two men would somehow change Hucks and Jims relationship. I hate that you find a best friend and then someone joins and then you and your bestfriend don't talk a lot like you used to and then your relationship slowly fades away.

Reading from Tuesday. Jim and Huck talked about how much they enjoy their freedom in the river. The reading summary of that day was a basic explanation of how Huck and Jim spend their daily lives. What they do and how they know its time to sleep. They didn't mind not wearing clothes anymore. It was a happy life for them except when they saw a gang of people chasing after someone. Huck always thought it was about him and Jim. Its great that they enjoy having their freedom, but its not really what they expect when they see someone with a gun looking for someone else. Huck is always scared to see someone searching for someone else, he fears that they are looking for him or for Jim. Huck still blames himself for why Jim is considered a criminal. I understand that I wouldn't want someone being blame something I did.

This was the reading for Monday. Huck and Jim were happy to be away from the swamp and the feud. The only place they knew to be home was their raft. They spent some time going down the river and doing what they would usually due. From time to time, they stop and rest, go fishing, eat and sleep. That was their rutting. Many people now of days would think that live in a raft that's always in a river is bad. Maybe runaways, or people in the most wanted list, but Huck and Jim the river is their home. No matter how hard they try to fit in the real world, it doesn't seem to work.
