Answer: Huck wonders about the dead man, but Jim warns that it’s bad luck to think about such things. Huck has already incurred bad luck, according to Jim, by finding and handling a snake’s shed skin. Sure enough, bad luck comes: as a joke, Huck puts a dead rattlesnake near Jim’s sleeping place, and its mate comes and bites Jim. Jim’s leg swells but gets better after several days. A while later, Huck decides to go ashore to get information. Jim agrees, but has Huck disguise himself as a girl, using one of the dresses they took from the houseboat. Huck practices his girl impersonation and then sets out for the Illinois shore.

Huck is relieved because, as a newcomer, the woman will not be able to recognize him. Still, he resolves to remember that he is pretending to be a girl.

Rhetorical question
Explanation:
A rhetorical question is a question someone asks not to receive an answer but to emphasize a point. Rhetorical questions are often used for literary effect or as a tool of persuasion. The question might not have an answer at all (e.g. <em>Why me? Why bother? What's the meaning of life?</em>) or it might have an obvious answer (e.g. <em>Is rain wet? Do pigs fly?</em>). Rhetorical questions can also raise doubt (e.g. <em>Or was it?</em>).
As the word <em>rhetorical</em> implies, these questions are used as a figure of speech.
Answer:
The words scarcity, famine, and abstain are all negative words. Also, scarcity and famine mean a big shortage of food, and abstain means restraining yourself from enjoying something, so maybe this has something to do with that?
