<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>
Answer:
Gail Collins in her book <u><em>"No Stopping Us Now: The Adventures of Older Women in American History"</em></u> talks about women and aging in America. According to Collins, aging is an unavoidable event of life and happens to everyone.
Explanation:
Collins is an American journalist and first woman who served as page editor of paper editorials. She has authored seven books, and<em>"No Stopping Us Now: The Adventures of Older Women in American History"</em> being her recent one.
She got the idea to write this book when she was penning her last book about the history of women's. She found a letter written by an elderly male colonist, who was looking for a wife, so, he writes back to England. The qualification that he asked for in his wife was, first, she needs to be civil, and second, under the age of 50 years.
Collins asserts that the definition of "young woman" had drastically changed over the years in American Society.
She explained, how early women were considered valuable because whole household were dependent upon her. But when people started moving towards cities, men would not look with interest in a woman who is past child-bearing age. She continued, that during Colonial period, if any woman dyed her hair she would be considered that she is trying to lure men into marriage by showing that she is younger.
In her book, she takes her readers on a ride, how the acceptance of women in society have changed over the periods, and how women's find it difficult to accept aging. But she suggests her readers to accept these golden years because aging happens to everyone.
