1. The logic is that they won't take things they don't need anyway. It makes them feel better about taking things. They didn't like crab apples and the prisims weren't even ripe yet.
2. He wants to be adventuorous like Tom Sawyer.
3. It's ironic because Sir Walter Scott is a romantic novelist about adventures and outstanding escapes. Huck Finn's escape from the boat wasn't anywhere near fantastic, they barely made it. Mark Twain is making fun of romantic novelties again.
4. Huck says that one day he might be a murderer, he's trying to see things from their point of view. He's trying to see what it'd be like to be stuck on a boat like they were.
5. The satire is the fact that he uses the greed of the steam boat captain to lure him into helping rescue the three murderers.
6. Jim feels like he's in trouble no matter what, he can either drown or if he gets saved he'll be sent back to the plantation and probably be sold south.
7. It's a romantic notion of Kings. He basically states that they don't do anything and sit around with their bunches of wives in their harem.
8. Jim had only heard of King Solomon, whom he considers a fool for wanting to chop a baby in half. He connects this argument wth the last argument so he's getting negative ideas about royalty or kings. He doens't understand why anyone would want to live like that because it doesn't make any sense. Kings are wasteful.
Well done. 22/22
