Annie Reuther's Disscussion Question!
Think about when Huck dressed up as a
woman in chapter 11, when the women finds out that he is man she says things
like he threw like a boy and didn’t react to the rat like a girl would. Do you
think this is a bit sexist that Mark Twain was saying that’s how girls are or
do you think it was an appropriate statement? Explain your answer.

I think Mark Twain talking about how Huck didn’t look like a girl from the way he did things while trying to act like a girl isn’t inappropriate at all. What Twain is saying makes sense because a girl and guy do not act the same and when the old woman saw this “other woman” acting strange she caught on very quickly. And for Mark Twain being sexist, he wasn’t he was just stating true facts that make sense. -Tony Scalise Jr
