When Huck went into the Grangerford house he was very impressed. They had a nice family and lots of precious things in their house. For example (chpt17, pg 75, 2 par...'' It was a mighty nice family, and a mighty nice house, too.") Huck seen that they had a clean home and nice comfortable furniture and different kinds of antiques everywhere. They were like the perfect family. Huck was really impressed that the Grangerford family was sweet enough to allow a complete stranger into their home. He never experienced a perfect family because growing up he didnt have his mother or father around to take care of him. He liked how the family bond with each other. Huck seen that they had a clean house and nice comfortable furniture.

In the Grangerford house there were many different kinds of books everywhere. They had a special book which was the families bible that was filled with lots of pictures. It was many other different forms of books that cought Hucks attention like the medicine books, poetry books, and a few writing books, too. The books in the house tells Huck that this family is very interested in getting their education. Since Huck was so interested inseeing those books, it tells me that Huck wouldnt mind reading a few books and learning something. The aurthor of this book which is Mark Twain, must have had lots of experience with reading books too.

In one of the rooms Huck notice some drawings that was by the Grangerfords daughter. She was very sick and had passed away when she was fifthteen years old. He seen lots of articles of peoples deaths and unique pictures of her drawing and poetry. Her poems were about death and one of her pictures showed people dying. Huck discovered one picture that she was drawing but did not finish. That picture showed a person who was at the edge of a clift looking like they were going to fall off. From looking at her pictures Huck thinks that the girl was obsessed with death probably because she knew she was going to die and it was a way to express how she felt. I think Huck felt sad because he can relate to the girls feelings because they were around the same age.

There is one poem that i had read so far that i really like. The poem by Alexandra Bird. First I want to talk about Alexandra Birds poem. Her poem was great, it talked about the different kinds of feelings a person goes through when drinking. She expresses how drinking can make a person be filled with such fear and rage. She makes her words sound so real as if shes been through the pain or been around it for some time. Ive only read three poems but the ones i read doesnt sound as good as Alexandrias.

I can relate to this poem in a way but then again I cant because I havent been around a lot of people that drinks. I can relate to it because I seen my uncle while he was drunk and he looked very sad. He started to say how he shouldnt have lost his wife and how he has nothing let for him. He was very mad and filled with rage just like in the poem.
