Reader Response 1: Huck Finn (1 - 6)

"I had shut the door to. Then I turned around, and there he was. I used to be scared of him all the time, he tanned me so much. I reckoned i was scared now, too; in a minute I see was mistaken. That is, after the first jolt, as you may say, when my breath sort hitch- he being so unexpected; but right away after, I see I warn't scared of him worth bothering about."
Chapter: 5, page: 14, par:1
I think its saying that he's father beat him so much that he was scared to walk in the room with him. Then after a wow he got use to it so now when he walk in the room he's OK with his father being in there.
I think that everybody been scared of they parents once in they live. But as you grow up you get use to being around that parent. So then you don't get scared no more, you okay with being with that parent. In getting use of what that parent is doing so it don't bother him or her no more.
Mark Twain think that he father shouldn't do that to him because he just came in his live only to get his money. So you shouldn't came in town in tell your son to stop school, tell him that his not going to be nothing in life but what his father is in that's a drinking. Beat him for no reason, then try to kill him. But the father know if he kill him then he can't get to the money.
