Question

In chapter 35, what does Tom propose to do with a shirt he wants Huck to borrow off the clothes line?

Answer 1

The answer is c.) He wants Jim to keep a journal on it.

"He said that would do.  And that gave him another idea, and he says:  

“Borrow a shirt, too.”  

“What do we want of a shirt, Tom?”  

“Want it for Jim to keep a journal on.”  

“Journal your granny—Jim can’t write.”  

“S’pose he can’t write—he can make marks on the shirt, can’t he, if we make him a pen out of an old pewter spoon or a piece of an old iron barrel-hoop?”  

“Why, Tom, we can pull a feather out of a goose and make him a better one; and quicker, too.”  "
