Jim’s Perspective
All of a sudden I woke up to someone saying hello and I jumped up and turned around to see who was on the island with me. To my surprise I saw Huckleberry Finn, thinking that he was dead i dropped to my knees and said “doan’ hurt me dont’t! I hain’t ever done no harm to a ghos’. I alwuz liked dead people, en done all i could for ‘em. You go en git in de river ag’in, whah you b’longs, en doan’ do nuffin to Ole Jim, ‘at ‘uz alwuz yo’ fren’.”
Then Huck explained to me what had happened to him and amde me understand he was alive and not a ghost. After expalining Huck says “It’s good daylight. Le’s get breakfast. Make up your campfire good.”
“What’s de use er makin up de camp-fire to cook strawbriesen sich truck? but you got a gun, hain’t you? Den we kin git sumfn better then strawbries.” I said.
“Strawberries and such truck,” he said. “is that what you live on?
“I could’nt get nuffin else,” “Why how long you been on the island Jim?” “I came heah de night after you’s killed.” “What, all that time” “Yes indeedy” “And you ain’t had nothing but that kind of rubbage to eat?” “ No sah nuffin else” “Well you must be starved ain’t you?” “I reck;n i could eat a hoss. I think I could. How long you ben on de islan’?” “Since the night I got killed.” “No W’y, what has you lived on? But you got a gun. Oh, yes. you got a gun. Dat’s good. Now you kill sumfn en I’ll make up de fire.”
So we went over to where the canoe was, and whuile I built the fire in a grassy open place amongst the trees, Huck went off and feched a meal and bacon and coffee, and a coffee-pot and frying pan and sugar and tin cups, and I was set back considerable because I reckoned it was all done with witchcraft. He caught a good big catfish and I cleaned him with my knife and fried him. When breakfast was ready weolled on the grass and eat it smoking hot. I laid it in all my might , because i was most starved. Then we had got pretty well stuffed, we laid off and lazied.
By and by I said: “ But looky here, Huck who wuz it dat ‘us killed in dat shanty ef it warnt you?” Then he explained to me th whole thing and I told him it was smart.
Huck’s situation is so extreme (the mental and physical abuse from Pap) that he cannot take it anymore. He does what he thinks is best; Huck listens to heart rather than his conscience. In order to get away from Pap, Huck organizes an elaborate plan to arrange his own death and run away – both denounced by society - from the prison cell (cabin) and Pap. Huck, for the first time in his life, had felt what it is like to be free: “The sky looks ever so deep when you lay down on your back in the moonshine; I never knowed it before” (Twain 46).
As Huck experiences first hand a skirmish between Buck Grangerford and Harvey Shephardson, in which Buck tries to shoot Harvey, he asks Buck what Harvey had ever done. Buck responds with, “Him? He never did nothing to me(120).” Confused, Huck then asks what he wants to kill him for. Buck answers, “Why nothing- only it’s on account of the feud(120).”
Early on in the journey, the reader can see the fondness that Huck has for mankind. "And begged me to save their ...
... me no choice. That blacksmith is my friend, so I have to kill you. It does not matter that people will come looking for you because I will not be here,” Finishing his sentence with a gunshot.
On a foggy night on the river, Huck, who’s in the canoe, was separated from Jim, who’s on the raft. Neither of the two could navigate nor see through the thick fog. They began whooping at each other in order to find one another, but it was no use. Frustrated, Huck decides to fall asleep. When the fog lifted and Huck woke up and found Jim asleep on the raft. As a ruse, Huck pretends that they had never separated and that Jim had dreamed the whole incident. Jim began to narrate and interpret his “dream” when he sees the leaves and the wreckage on the raft, and realizes that it was not a dream. He was extremely hurt by Huck’s joke since he was scared to death that Huck had died. Huck felt guilty for playing the trick and sincerely apologized to Jim, which was hard because of race (at the
The 3rd major sector of construction industry includes establishments in the specialty trades, which are primarily engaged in activities to produce a specific component (e.g. masonry, painting and electrical work) of a project. Specialty trade contractors obtain orders for their work from general contractors, architects or property owners.
“It’d be just perfect if he went absolutely off-his-rocker out here and tried to eat us or something. Or hung us from a sail pole—maybe used us as bait for ‘is next catch—”
In the vast and detailed world of psychology, there are a variety of different tests you can participate in. For example, you can participate in aptitude, verbal or numerical reasoning, and psychometric tests. These tests assess on a variety of different situations such as: behaviors, abilities and intelligence. Personality tests, a common and favored test, measure things such as: behavioral style, opinions, motivators, personal values and career interests. Most often, people complain or disagree with the score of some areas on their personality test; however, there are no right or wrong answers. After completing this personality test and reviewing the results, I found that the overall scoring accurately described me in most areas. The Big Five Personality test scores in five different areas involving openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.
Huck fakes his own death and escapes society by going down the river in a canoe to Jackson’s island where he meets Jim and discovers that has run away from Miss Watson.
For the Test, I decided to compare myself to my mother. My mother has been a huge part of my life, and is someone I admire and look up too. By completing this test, I wanted to see how similar or different our personalities were. However, before starting the test, I knew that my mother and I had some similar interests and qualities, yet very different personalities.
Subcontractors play very important role in the process of construction and often their work is underestimated. It is very common observation that owners hire professionals such as architects, engineers, construction managers, and general contractors. But, the actual work is performed primarily by subcontractors. The subcontractor performs the work according to the plans and specifications that are provided from the design professionals employed by the owner. For example, an electrical trade subcontractor is usually given a set of electrical plans and technical specifications designed by an electrical engineer and reviewed by the project architect. (Subcontracts and Subcontractors 2014).
The main important role of the Project Management in the construction industry is to make everyone work towards the same goal that must be aligned with the strategic objectives of the company. One of the most relevant differences between any Project Management and the ones working on the Construction industry is the knowledge and skill in certain areas related to the field, it is essential to have a good understanding of construction methods, materials, scheduling and blueprint reading as well as knowledge in communication and leadership skills. In construction technology plays an important aspect to considered, for a Project Management it is important to be updated in any new technology used by construction companies. (Dykstra, 2011)
