.... by using his magical powers to harm their enemies. He set Wargs afire while he was trapped in a tree and created a bolt of lightening to kill many of the Goblins who had surrounded the group in a cave. The magical ring, which was a key to helping the group succeed in the book, allowed he who was wearing it to become invisible to others. Also, there was a black stream in Mirkwood that made he who drank out of it suddenly very drowsy and forgetful of previous events.

.... Grangerfords' belongings and liberally offers compliments. The books are piled on the table "perfectly exact"(111), the table had a cover made from "beautiful oilcloth"(111), and a book was filled with "beautiful stuff and poetry"(111). He even appraises the chairs, noting they are "nice split-bottom chairs, and perfectly sound, too-not bagged down in the middle and busted, like an old basket"(111). It is apparent Huck is more familar with busted chairs than sound ones, and he appreciates the distinction. Huck is also more familiar with flawed families than loving, virtuous ones, and he is happy to sing the praises of the people who took him in. Col. Grangerford "was a ge ....

.... first example of Twain’s satire to be intrudes in the novel is the character called Pap. He is Huck Finn’s father, and the town drunk. Pap is an ignorant man and a negligent father. Huck narrorates what it was like to live with his abusive dad. “By and by Pap got too handy with his hick’ry, and I couldn’t stand it no longer. It was all over welts. He got to going away so much too, and locking me in. Once he locked me in and was gone three days (p.35).” Pap has no idea that he does anything wrong, even though he is such a horrible father to his son.

For six years Edna conforms to these ideas by being a “proper” wife and mother, holding Tuesday socials and going to op ....

.... because it was more descriptive. When Tom Robinson was convicted for a rape that he did not even commit, the book made the situation more dramatic because of how well it was described. The book was less emotional because the event just occurred. There were no in-depth descriptions of the situation. Another example of this point was when Boo Radley had saved Jem and Scout from Mr. Ewell. When Scout told Boo it was alright for him to pet Jem, it was better described in the book. The third point is that the pageant the night that Jem and Scout were attacked was shown in the book but no in the movie. The movie only showed them walking up to the stairs, then the scene chan ....
