Comparison Between Tom And Huck
.... (176). Tom’s outlandish plan has much more “style” and he assures Huck that it will free Jim from slavery. Huck being a realist doesn’t understand the need for danger but he was satisfied, “…it would make Jim just as free a man as mine would, and maybe get us all killed besides” (176). Tom takes control over Huck and convinces him that they must free Jim by the books, not taking into consideration whether he is uncomfortable or suffering. Tom is only interested in the adventure of the scheme, where as Huck is mainly concerned about freeing Jim.

He didn’t think it was that serious, almost like he was surprised that what he did made a big injury. He did do it on purpose but without the intent of making such a big deal that it did. Gene talks about this with Finny’s doctor after it happened in this quote, "Right now, well of course, I am shocked. Who wouldn’t be shocked, for god sakes. It’s terrible, everything’s terrible." "But I don’t see why you should look so personally shocked. You looked like it happened to you or something." This means that he was shocked .....

A Book Of Double Meanings
.... government and the people in general is displayed in this act. Another display of the littleness is the fact that Gulliver is used as the Emperor's absolute weapon, but the emperor only uses him to conquer his world of two islands. This makes the emperor's ambition seem extremely low. Swift also criticizes the religious beliefs of the Lilliputians and England in the first story. In Lilliput, Ministers were chosen strictly on agility, or their ability to walk a tightrope or stick jumping. They were able to maintain their rank of minister as long as they could keep defeating these tasks. The political parties of the English go .....
