Huck finn question?

Question

I need some help:
When Huck goes to town in a disguise like a girl, what problems does he have with the costume?

Answer 1

he may look like a girl, but he doesn't act like one. the woman he meets, he helps her with her yarn(?) and to catch the ball as it falls, he claps his legs together, like a boy would do.
also, he has to take caution when going into town, because people can still recognize him, even with a dress on

Answer 2

Huck Finn is a banned book in many schools on grounds of being racist. I wouldn't expect that Twain wrote it specifically to BE a racist book- but if the author had some ingrained racial thoughts (even if it was not prejudice, it's hard to grow up in those times without internalizing the racism of surrounding society), it's possible that some things that would be considered racist would have slipped in. I haven't read the book in a while, but it's important to distinguish between racism that a specific character has (a character being written as a racist) and racism that slips in through the way Twain himself tells the story. I could write a novel that contains a racist character, but my own narration would oppose it. If Twain is still making racist suggestions in the body of the narration itself, you might suspect that, either consciously or unconsciously, he was being racist. It is also vital for you to ask whether all the things that are considered racist in 2006 were considered racist in Mark Twain's time. Many people who wholeheartedly supported black rights still had ideas that would be considered racist by today's standards.

Answer 3

He gets discovered by someone sharper than him. The person (think it's an old woman, not real sure on that) tosses something onto his lap. As a 'girl', wearing a dress, he should have opened his legs to catch it on the skirt. Of course, Huck being a boy, he bunches his legs like a hockey goalie.

Answer 4

he goes to Mrs. Loftus ' house to find out what was going in the town and what the people were talking about his death.the lady was intelligent but was kind to huck .but she comes to know that huck was not a girl but a boy,
when she asked him his name,he was unable to answer,while hitting the rat he did it exactly the way boys do.

Answer 5

he had a slight problem on his boys. his feet were hairy. he talks about guy things instead of girlish talks. the wife of the man who allowed him to stay in their home, still recognizes him to be a boy, pretending to be a girl with stolen garments. at the time when they talking about his made-up uncle the wife already knew the truth of who he is. he is not good at acting to become a girl although it is dark.

Answer 6

Men try to bargin with him for favors. I would say it was one of the most disturbing scenes I was ever to read in that series.

Answer 7

Why don't you go back in the book and look for yourself. Is it really that difficult?

Answer 8

I recall he didn't do so well with the skirt.....
