In chapter 7, why does Huck want people to think he is dead?

English
1 answer:
marishachu [46]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<h2>Why does Huck stage his own murder rather than simply running away? ... Huck stages his own murder instead of running away so people won't go looking for him. If he simply ran away, his father would be upset and search for him, where if he were dead, he could escape safely with no one looking for him.</h2>

Explanation:

<h3>Unaware of his earlier drunken rage, Pap wakes up and sends Huck out to check to see if any fish have been caught on the lines out in the river. Huck finds a canoe drifting in the river and hides it in the woods. When Pap leaves for the day, Huck finishes sawing his way out of the cabin. He puts food, cookware, and everything else of value from the cabin into the canoe. He then covers up the hole he cut in the wall and shoots a wild pig outside. Huck smashes the cabin door with an ax, cuts the pig’s throat so it bleeds onto the cabin’s dirt floor, and makes other preparations to make it seem as if robbers have broken into the cabin and killed him. Huck goes to the canoe and waits for the moon to rise, planning to paddle to Jackson’s Island out in the river. Huck falls asleep and wakes to see Pap rowing by. Once Pap has passed, Huck quietly sets out downriver. He pulls into Jackson’s Island, careful not to be seen.</h3>
