As I was reading through the chapter 27 ( I think) I obviously saw the part when the dauphin cons the Wilkes women into selling their home. This really made me angry. I feel as though it is one think to lie and even to steal, but playing with someone's safety really bothers me. People need homes to survive. Not everyone is as "outdoorsy" as Huck is. The dauphin really is the worst character in the book so far. The dauphin even goes on to separate the family of slaves. For some strange reason, I am a firm believer in families. My family is really big and we try to help each other when something goes wrong. Separating a family is clearly devastating and the more I read through the chapter the more upset I got. It's sad to think that the two men had no remorse for what they were doing. Everyone makes mistakes but the thing that separates the "good" people from the "bad" people is the ability to learn from them. The duke and dauphin obviously haven't been caught, or if they have, they do not care. The way the duke and dauphin act shows immaturity and lack of integrity. Someone as old as a 70 year old has a lot of life experience. Knowledge, maturity and integrity are gained through life experience. The only thing this man knows is how to rob people of everything they have owned. The whole time I was reading the part where the slaves are separated, I was upset and considered putting off my reading. However, I couldn't stop because I wanted to see Hucks plan of exposure come to light. (Props to Twain for keeping me interested). I am tired of this plot though. I just want to fast forward through all of this drama and get to the part where huck can just be happy. He has been controlled by someone his entire life. Huck was also controlled by fear. I am honestly just ready for the light at the end of the tunnel that is this novel.
