    1. Saying them words put a good idea in my head.  I see how maybe I could get me and Jim rid of the frauds; get them jailed here, and then leave.

      Huck never runs out of clever ideas to get out of sticky situations. I think sentences like this show a bit of the romantic write in Twain.

    1. Come in, Huck, but doan’ look at his face – it’s too gashly.”

      I think that this statement shows how Jim has come to kind of care for Huck because he takes into account Huck's innocence and inexperience and warns him. I don't think Jim would have warned Huck against it if he didn't care even a little.

    2. And, besides, he said them little birds had said it was going to rain, and did I want the things to get wet?

      Although Huck is a die hard realist, he has a knack for being a little on the superstitious side. Twain does not directly address the fact that Huck believes what Jim said about the birds, but the history of Huck's superstitious actions can lead the reader to infer that he does, in fact, believe it.

    1. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate we can not consecrate we can not hallow, this ground

      For this part of this sentence to not have commas after dedicate and consecrate makes it sound too rushed and does not have as much impact.
