Tag: Huckleberry Finn

The Teaser Tuesday rules are:

Grab your current read.

Let the book fall open to a random page.

Share with us two (2) ‘œteaser’ sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.

You also need to share the title of the book that you’™re getting your ‘œteaser‘ from ‘¦ that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’™ve given!

Please avoid spoilers!

I’ve not followed all the rules for today’s Teaser because I haven’t opened Huckleberry Finn at random.

I’m currently up to page 43 and as I didn’t want to open the book beyond where I’ve read, I opened it at page 43 at the bookmark. The two sentences I’ve picked between lines 7 and 12 are:

‘Have you got hairy arms and a hairy breast, Jim?’

‘What’s de use to ax dat question? don’ you see I has?’

Jim first started to tell Huck what had happened to him on page 41 and I’m still finding it awkward reading what he says – I reck’n I’ll git used to it b’fo too long. Oh, and Jim says

‘Ef you’s got hairy arms en a hairy breas’, it’s a sign dat you’s agwyne to be rich’.

There, I’ve broken the rules again – more than two sentences and one not in the right place!
