huck 6
Aw reely lake how teh othor youses dialect as a gateway to describe da characters life. he uses many differnt words dat mean teh same thing ta illustrate how huckfin an' tom lived. when teh othor talks 'bout their travels on da river, he uses misspellins and a rural flaver to keep you interpretin the words on teh page. dis style, while inconsistent with da english language, is consistent with itself and its usage.

6/6 entries for 3/31/09, though overly short
ReplyDelete"Bad English" does not = lack of capitalization, which is what you do! Twain writes deliberately to create a sense of the dialect, which is what you do in the last entry. Back to capitalizing, young person!
