Huck Finn Quotation Response 1

pg 15

"I set down again, a shaking all over, and got out my pipe for a smoke, for the house was all as still as death now, and so tthe widow wouldnt know."

The reason why I have chosen this quotation is because Huck uses personification in this statement. He gives a house human qaulities by saying it is still and almost like someone who is dead cause they will never move again. Another reason why I chose this quote is because Huck is going against the widow's orders of not smoking when he actually is. This quote is important because it shows that Huck will almost never listen even in a important situation like being healthy and clean. This tells us that in the rest of the story he will be smoking sometimes.
