You should have the TITLE, AUTHOR, THESIS, and GOOD  SETUP paragraph (3 good sentences). Don't leave your Shaefer paragraphs hanging out to dry.

Write about Huck Finn’s best friend. Is Tom Huck’s best friend? Is Buck Huck’s best friend? Is Jim Huck’s best friend? Support your answer with quotes. Use 2 quotes per body paragraph, six quotes total.

Write about a time your pretended to be someone you were not. Compare your own experiences to Huckleberry Finn’s and use quotes and examples of disguises from the book. Don’t write too much about yourself, write primarily about Huckleberry Finn.

Write about a time when someone you knew was in “forbidden” relationship. Compare their experience with Sophia and Harney. Use quotes and examples from the book, at least 2 per paragraph. In this case, you should set up Huckleberry Finn’s experience in the first 2 paragraph’s, your own comparison in paragraph 3, and then tie them together in the last paragraph.

Write about a family in a feud. Compare them to the Shepherdsons and Grangerfords. You would use a modern, famous comparison and compare them to the feud in Huckleberry Finn. In this case, you would set up Huckleberry Finn’s feud, and then use the modern fued, and then tie it together in the fourth paragraph.

Write about a time when someone close to you died. What was it like for you and for the people close to you. This would be similar to the death of Buck Grangerford for Huckleberry Finn. Compare this and use quotes.
