Journal 3

Pap is very angry at his son for knowing how to read and speak properly. In chapter 5 pap asks Huck to read and once he had read properly pap gets mad that Huck knows how to read unlike him. Pap grew up in an environment where no one learned how to read and if you did know how to read you were most likely a snob. Pap can't be happy for his son because he is so caught up in the chances he never had. Huck seems not offended but i can imagine he is hurt that his dad doesn't want him to become anything or be a better man than he is.
