. Literally criticism, there’s a text about this book that I am do not understand fully. The one is about Huck’s drunken, bum, of a father. In the text it talks about how he beats him and wants his money, he also kidnaped his own son Huck. Every time Huck’s dad went out he locked Huck in the house, and when he returned drunk, he beat him for no reason. In the text it says. The local judge, Judge Thatcher, and the Widow try to get legal custody of Huck, but another new judge in town believes in the rights of Huck’s natural father and even takes the Huck’s Pap into his own home in an attempt to reform him. But that obviously hasn’t worked, and he harassed his son for months. My criticism is that if the people knew that the father was a drunk, and had no good intentions with his son, and they knew he beat him. After the dad kidnapped Huck, I don’t understand how the people couldn’t guess it was the dad that did it. The author was trying to build suspense by having Huck kidnapped and abused, but in my opinion, only thing it did is caused confusion because it was obvious that the dad was behind all that and they could’ve stopped it. 2.
