FUN WITH LITERATURE, page 6

Read the excerpt from the opening chapter of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Then decide whether the statement 01-05 are T true, F false or N not stated in the text.

You don’t know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain’t no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied one time or another, without it was Aunt Polly, or the widow, or maybe Mary. Aunt Polly - Tom’s Aunt Polly, she is - and Mary, and the Widow Douglas is all told about in that book, which is mostly a true book, with some stretchers, as I said before.

Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. We got six thousand dollars apiece - all gold. It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece all the year round - more than a body could tell what to do with. The Widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would civilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so, when I couldn’t stand it no longer I lit out.

01 The story was told by Tom Sawyer. T / N / F

02 There are three female characters mentioned in the text. T / N / F

03 The excerpt includes the summary of the previous adventure. T / N / F

04 The speaker was happy to be looked after by the Widow Douglas. T / N / F
