The thing that impresses Huck about the Grangerford’s house is they have locks on the doors and they also had new rag carpet on the floor. Huck’s view of success and happiness is having new clothes and having servants for every body in the house and being able to have new things like carpet. “As soon as I was in, the old gentleman he locked the door and barred it and bolted it, and told the young men to come in with their guns, and they all went in a big parlor that had a new rag carpet on the floor.” (chp.17 pg.73 par.4)
The books in the house are so special because they are poems written by Emmeline. Huck is interested in the books because he had never read or seen those kinds of books before in his life. Huck also found interesting was the pictures in the book. Huck’s view of education is that it is really important to have education. Mark Twain’s view of education is you need have an education. “They was different from any pictures I ever see before.” (chp.17, pg. 76, par3)
The unique thing about the drawings, poems, and the scrapbook is that 15 year old Emmeline did all those things before she died and she was really good at what she did. Emmeline was obsessed with the people who died in accidents and cases of patient of suffering, when she did that she would make poems about them. The significance of the painting is that which ones would be the best and the rest to be scratched out. Huck’s view of death is that it was something to be sad about when someone dies.
Huck’s view of suicide must be a scary thing for him. Huck’s view of art might be a very good thing to do and see. Huck is so touched by the girl’s life and art because she was very talented at what she did and she was living a very good life. “And Art Thou Gone Yes Thou Art Gone Alas”. ( chp.17, pg.77, par.1)
