Journal 11

In this chapter we see the poor white section of a town. This town is beat up with old houses, yards, and tobacco hewing people. Twain explains this neighborhood very vividly because he wants us to understand the standard of living in some towns during that time. He shows the laziness of the people and how they all have nothing better to do than chew tobacco. This filthy neighborhood makes Huck think his living conditions are better than this towns.
