4. Chapter 17 Quotes
"'Well, if you knowed where he was, why did you ask me for?" pg. 89
Huck is answering a riddle that Buck tells him. Buck starts joking around with Huck right away, right when they met. Buck is obviously comfortable enough to throw a joke into conversation. Huck does not understand the joke, and this qote clearly shows his awkwardness and innocents in his situation.
"... and my sister Mary Ann run off and got married and never was heard of no more." pg. 90
This quote that Huck completely made up is weirdly similar to what happens in the next chapter when Miss Sophia runs off to get married and Huck does not stick around long enough to hear of her again. I think Mark Twain put this in the book to see if anyone could catch it.

5. Chapter 18 Quotes
"My nigger had a monstrous easy time, because I warn't used to having anybody do anything for me." pg. 96
This quote has two major meanings: Huck is not used to having anybody do anything for him, and Huck doesn't want a slave. Huck is not used to his father do anything for him, so it is easy to see that having a personal servant would not come naturally to him. Huck doesn't want a slave because he sis not agree with it entirely, he has been friends with Jim and does not want to turn him in anymore.
"... I reckoned  was to blame, somehow...I never felt easy till the raft was two mile below there and out in the middle of the Mississippi." pg. 104
This quote shows how much the Grangerford family affecting Huck within only a few days. Huck did not want to have anything to do with the two feuding families anymore. Huck also felt as though the feud was his fault, even though the feud has been going on for decades. Huck is a little self conscious and beats himself up too much.

6. Chapter 19 Quotes
"Jim said the moon could 'a' laid them (stars); well, that looked kind of reasonable, so I didn't say nothing against it." pg. 107
This quote shows how much Huck has changed from his reactions to when Jim was talking about King Solomon to when he says a comment about the moon. Huck does not try to listen to what Jim says about Solomon which is a good point but Huck agrees with the ridiculous comment about the moon laying stars. Huck is starting to respect Jim more.
"It didn't take me long to make up my mind that these liars warn't no kings nor dukes at all." pg. 113
Huck and Jim were gullible enough to be fooled by two poor men lying to get a free ride and food. Huck finally figures it out and does not make it a big deal and assumes Jim does not already know. Huck is very passionate thinking that just letting the men have their fun and food is better than arguing and fighting and making a mess out of their relationship, a very mature thought.

7. Themes for Chapters 17 - 19 Friendship is very important
