Answer Given: Don't have much time cause I have Calculus homework to do, but, i'll just list some scenes that have humor, and you could break them down as you want.... First off, Twain has the scene with Jim and his fortune telling hairball, lots o laughs there. Allright, other funny scenes include when Huck tricks the slave catchers into thinking that his father has small pox, When Jim and He, talk about king soloman and stuff and frenchmen and stuff. Also, you have where the duke and the dauphin trick people into seeing their play by writing "ladies and children not admitted" or something like that. ummm what else....couple bits of irony are when the preacher is talking about the brotherly love and stuff, talking to the shepardsons and grangerfords, and they are bringing rifles to that sermon, also with the whole fued thang, is when buck, is explaining fueds to huck. Back to irony, bitter Irony would be in the very end when tom and Huck make an elaborate plan for Jim's escape, even though Jim was already free, and has been for two weeks before the plan. Another little thing that comes to mind, I think I mentioned it in my page, but when The jugde and I think ms. watson believe that they have reformed pap, and they like give him a new coat so he can get a better job or whatnot, and he ends up selling it for alcohol. Oh well, hope that helps....back to math....
