The main difference between the two boys is that Huck is more of a realist and Tom is an idealist.

Tom is raised by his aunt Polly and Huck's father is a ussles drunk

If Huck is the consummate realist of the novel, Tom Sawyer is the representative romantic. From the moment you are first introduced to Tom, it's easy to recognize his role as a leader, or controlling agent, of the situation. The gang is labeled "Tom Sawyer's Gang" because he is the one that controls its activities and pursuits. These activities, however, are always based upon Tom's exaggerated notions of adventure. Basing his experience on the fanciful books he has read, Tom tries to adapt his life and the life of others to that which he has read. The end result is a parody of sensibility and emotion, two literary agents that Twain despised. Tom's role as a romantic is extremely important because of its contrast with Huck's literal approach. Although Tom declares that his gang will pursue the exploits of piracy and murder, in reality the gang succeeds in "charging down on hog-drovers and women in carts taking garden stuff to the market." The vision of the young boys disrupting women bound for the market provides much of the harmless humor during the early pages of Huck Finn, and Tom is largely responsible for the slapstick approach. Tom's constant barrage of exaggeration, however, contrasts with Huck's deadpan narration, and Huck can "see no profit" in Tom's methods. Where Huck is practical, Tom is emotional; where Huck is logical, Tom is extravagant. Despite the fact that you can easily recognize Tom's ideas as foolishness, Huck does not question Tom's authority. On the contrary, Huck believes that Tom's knowledge is above his own, and this includes Tom's attitude toward slavery.

What were the religious political and economic motivations behind the crusades?
gayaneshka [121]

The Crusades were called because of religious devotion but the call was answered because to the desire for political and economic gain.

A call went out for soldiers to take Jerusalem from the Seljuk Turks.  

Many second and third sons answered the call. In the Holy Land they could carve out principalities and become Lords. In Western Europe the land was all taken. The call was answer by most Crusaders for dreams of political and economic gain.

The Eastern Roman Empire had appealed for help became of the amount of land and control that they had lost to the Seljuk Turks.  

The agreement with the Pope was that the Crusaders would liberate not only Jerusalem but the lands lost to the control of the Turks.  

When the Crusaders liberated the land they kept the land for themselves. This showed that the reasons that the Crusaders answered the call was not religious devotion but economic greed.

Haha, hope this helps. <3 !

If Carnegie were alive today what suggestions might he have for helping the homeless
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Andrew Carnegie was philanthropist

Explanation:

Carnegie sold his steel to JP Morgan and at the time was the richest individual. He invested that money in over 3000 public libraries and provided education to all. He himself came from a poor family and knew how difficult it was to fight, educate and achieve something. He wanted to change the world for the better and to start positions for all citizens as similarly as possible.

Probably he would still do so today in accordance with the times. So he provided IT education in addition to everything.

Most similar to him today is Bill Gates.
