We read an excerpt from Life on the Mississippi in which Mark Twain harshly attacks the influence on Southern U.S. culture of the writings of Sir Walter Scott, and briefly discussed how Twain's satire on the romantic medievalism of the antebellum South is represented in Huckleberry Finn, especially in the depiction of Tom Sawyer.

Quiz #3 tomorrow over all of Huckleberry Finn.
