All right Readers aspiring to be great reading the missus

00:07

ain't in the ghost story Well here we go Question

00:10

ten of ten Last one Think about the proceeding passages

00:13

You read the following excerpt This expert is narrated by

00:17

huck finn who has disguised himself as a girl I

00:21

started up the illinois shore in the canoe just after

00:23

dark I started across the town from a little below

00:26

the ferry landed and the drifter the current fetch me

00:28

in At the bottom of the town i tied up

00:30

and started along the bank There was a light burning

00:32

in a little shanty that hadn't been lived in for

00:34

a long time And i wondered who had took up

00:36

quarters there I slipped up and peeped in at the

00:38

window There was a woman about forty year old They're

00:41

in it and buy a candle That was on a

00:43

pine table I didn't know her face She was a

00:45

stranger for you Couldn't start up face in that town

00:47

that i didn't know Now this was lucky because i

00:50

was a weakening I was getting referred I had come

00:53

on people not know my voice and find me out

00:55

but if this woman had been in such a little

00:57

town two days she could tell me all i wanted

01:00

to know So i knocked the door and made up

01:02

my mind I wouldn't forget i was a girl Identify

01:05

one way in which lucy's reaction to the lady in

01:07

the passage from mrs and the ghost differs from huck's

01:10

reaction to seeing the stranger in the excerpt from adventures

01:13

huckleberry finn Use one detail from the passage and one

01:16

detail from the excerpt to support your answer All right

01:23

well let's think about this one Here's a sample response

01:25

Lucy is frightened by the woman because the woman is

01:29

unfamiliar and in lucy's mind acts strangely describing the interaction

01:34

to her dad Lucy says the lady didn't seem to

01:37

see me when she looked which is the most frightening

01:40

part of the encounter for her Huck on the other

01:42

hand is glad that the woman is a stranger because

01:45

he doesn't want anyone to recognize him He says that

01:48

he didn't know her face and that this was lucky

01:52

What we'd be hard pressed to find two children who

01:54

are any more different from each other than lucy in

01:56

hut right lucy For freaks out when a woman looks

01:59

at her and huck laughs in the face of of

02:01

danger huh Gets into dangerous situations At least lucy is

02:04

afraid because the strange woman looks at her without seeing

02:07

her But the one thing that scares hawk in this

02:09

excerpt is the possibility that someone he knows might see

02:12

him and recognize him So when huck finds himself a

02:15

stranger he celebrates Unlike lucy who runs back to her

02:18

daddy well full scoring response describes it clear difference between

02:22

lucy's and huck's reactions to seeing a stranger and discusses

02:26

to relevant details that demonstrate the difference between the two

02:29

characters and note all the quotations and the excellent citing

02:33

that we did here in this answer for you and 00:02:35.645 --> [endTime] we're done with this section goodbye
