Answer:

Twain is satirizing society’s greed by having Huck’s father return under the pretense of caring for Huck when all he really wants is money.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • Twain is satirizing society’s greed by having Huck’s father return under the pretense of caring for Huck when all he really wants is money.
  • Twain is satirizing society’s dishonesty by having Huck hide his money to appear as though he is too selfish to share with his own father.
  • Twain is satirizing society’s disrespect by characterizing Huck as someone who is so rude that he cannot even treat his father with respect.
  • Twain is satirizing society’s ingratitude by characterizing Huck as someone too selfish to appreciate anything his father has ever done for him.

In Chapter 5, Twain satirizes society's greed through the character of Huck's father. Twain wants to show that society is so greedy that its interest for money can dominate even a father's concern for his children. Satire is a genre of literature in which an author mocks the shortcomings and follies of society, usually with the purpose of encouraging social change.

The irony is that Tom is more educated then Huck, but makes it very complicated to free Jim, instead of doing it the simple way.

What is weird about nick's drive into new york with gatsby? list at least three things about gatsby in this scene that strike yo
MatroZZZ [7]
First of all, Gatsby comes right out and asks Nick what he thinks of him. This is an odd question for anyone to ask, given that socially it would be considered rude. Stranger still is that he does not give Nick time to answer, he just moves forward with telling Nick a bunch of things about himself. 

The second thing that is odd, is that Gatsby says he is from the "middle-west". When Nick asks what part, he says "San Francisco" which is on the far west coast.

The third thing that is odd, even though Nick is feeling like everything Gatsby says is a lie, is when Gatsby actually pulls out a couple pieces of evidence that he is actually telling the truth! He shows Nick a medal from Montenegro and a picture of him at Oxford.
