Question

Read the quotation from chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer is to portray Huck's father as uneducated and ignorant.
Huck's father is telling his son that he shouldn't go to school because it makes him think he is better than his own dad. He is stupid and rude and wants to deprive his own son of education and a better life, which doesn't involve theft and crime.

Answer 2

To portray Hucks father as uneducated and ignorant.
