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


“Well, I'll learn her how to meddle. And looky here—you drop that school, you hear? I'll learn people to bring up a boy to put on airs over his own father and let on to be better'n what HE is.”

What is Twain’s most likely intention for employing humor within this quotation?

Respuesta :

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.
