In Mark Twain`s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain demonstrates Pap to be one of the main sources of hypocrisy in the novel.

Pap tells Huck “you think you`re better than your father, now don’t you, because he can`t [read]?

What I hope to gain from my internship is to truly be able to gain hands-on experience in the field of social work. Although I have prior experience in working with a particular group within a social work setting, I do not have experience working with diverse programs and diverse groups. I would like to learn how to conduct psychosocial assessments, and implement crisis intervention plans. I am interested in learning how to work with clients in completing intakes, conducting therapy, as well as collaborating with colleagues. I aim to learn how to apply the education and experience I brought with me to my new intern role.

Twain uses Pap as an example of unfit parenting. Particularly he shows Pap to be an unfit parent by talking about his abusive habits. An example of one of Pap’s abusive habits is “He used to always whale me when he was sober.” (Twain 12) Another example shows Pap being emotionally abusive to Huck when it comes to school. Pap tells Huck “if I catch you about that school I'll tan you good.

Crasssshhh! Shards flew across the room everywhere. Huck knew one thing for sure: Pap was drunk again, and more aggressive than usual. In the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which was written by Mark Twain. Huckleberry Finn lives in a small town with Widow Douglas and her sister; not with his father. Why? Huck’s father, Pap, is a cold hearted child abuser who only cares for two things: whiskey and dough. Surprisingly the judge gave custody of Huck to Pap to give him a second chance, which turned out to be a horrendous mistake. There, locked in Pap’s cabin, Huck has to figure out how to survive on his own and escape Pap’s custody. He does this and finds himself assisting a runaway slave get to Cairo. At that time, slavery was a common

The first contrast between Jim and Pap is the initial reaction Huck has when encountering them. When Huck is on Jackson’s Island, presumably alone, but then comes across a smoldering fire, he is at first frightened, but once he sees that the other refugee is Jim, he pops right out of the bushes and greets him. He is glad for his company. However, when signs of Pap being around are apparent, Huck is seen to panic, and rushes off to rid himself of his fortune. He knows that Pap is greedy enough to steal from anyone, even his own son. When they come face to face, it becomes clear that Huck is afraid of his father, who used to beat him while in a drunken state. During this confrontation, it becomes clear that Pap resents that Huck is being educated, and feels threatened by it. On the contrary, Jim teaches Huck what he knows, and is proud of him for thinking up schemes, such as faking his death to escape his father’s grasp. As Jim and Huck travel together, Jim shows more consideration and a protective nature for Huck, and he tries to act, as much as he can, as a shield between Huck and the corrupt world, which is something Huck’s father never did. On the contrary, Pap exposed Huck to more corruption than most others his age, such as Tom Sawyer, were expected to have been exposed to.

The bond that they share is the same of that that is shared by a father and his son- Jim

Huck has had enough with their failed relationship, deciding he can handle such an atrocity, he decides he will run away from his monster of an alcoholic father. Pap will never be able to have a relationship with his father, because he was probably drunk, got into an argument and was shot and killed. Alcoholic parents’ actions often hinder the child’s ability to tell what is right from wrong.

“He said he’d cowhide me till I was black and blue if I didn't raise some money for him. I borrowed 3 dollars from Judge Thatcher” (Twain, 31). Pap was a dead beat dad who didn't seem to care for Huck. Although in Huckleberry Finn, Pap was a harsh man who abused Huck. In Fences Troy was a ____man who tried to protect his son from trouble in heartbreak by being blunt and telling the truth from his perspective. Children thrive with the presence of a father figure. In some ways, Troy was like both Pap and Jim. He cared about his son and pushed him away. Huck too longed for a father figure. Huck finds a father figure in Jim (Slyman , Paragraph 8 Pg. 1). Jim loved his family, he wanted to reunite with them, but since it is impossible, he takes Huck as his child in place of his blood family, and now he acts as if he was Huck’s father.

You ask Judge Thatcher; he'll tell you the same." Twain Chapter 5 - "The. Huck's father does ridiculous things for the desire to be wealthy, like kidnapping Huck and not allowing him to leave to go to school. It is evident that Pap is blinded by his greed and only cares about obtaining money, and while he’s in that process of getting the money, he is abusing hucks in every way possible. Twain also criticizes greed in his portrayal of the Duke and the King.

Because of Hucks childhood and how he grew up, he struggles with a lot of things. Huck began to freak out because he was so close to freedom, and worried they were going to get caught. He started thinking "why me?". Huck was struggling with everything illegal they had done, and couldnt wrap eevrything around his head. Huck thought he was to blame for everything that has happened. He grew up getting beat up, and being told everything was his fault so I dont blame him for thinking this. Your past expieriences does not give you any exuse to act a certain way, but its also not easy to just forget about. He started feeling bad for Miss Watson, and started thinking "what did she do for me to treat her how I did?". He starts to reflect on his life
