• Huck tells us Col. Grangerford is an aristocrat owning lots of farms. 
• Buck shoots at Harney. Harney returns fire and the boys take off running. No one is hurt. 
• Buck explains the feud between the between the Grangerfords and Shepherdsons. 
• Miss Sophia asks Huck to go back to the church where she forgot her Testament. Huck brings it to her with a paper in it reading “Half-past two”. 
• Huck’s servant, Jack, leads him to Jim. 
• Jim tells Huck that he followed behind him after the accident, but didn’t want to yell and bring any attention to himself. He has been hiding and trying to fix the raft while Huck has been staying with the Grangerfords. 
• Huck wakes to an empty house and Jack tells him that Miss Sophia has run off to marry Harney. 
• Huck rushes off to action. He climbs into a tree above Buck. Buck tells Huck that his dad and two brothers have been killed and that Harney and Sophia made it safely across the river. 
• The men that had been after Buck snuck up from behind. Buck and his cousin, who was hiding with him, were both injured. Although they tried to escape, both boys ended up getting killed. 
• Huck waited in the tree all night. When he came down he found Buck’s body laying in the edge of the water along with his cousin. He covered their faces and cried.

• Huck 
• Buck 
• Harney Shepherdson- a man from the rival family 
• Miss Sophia- Buck’s 20 yr old sister 
• Jack- Huck’s servant 
• The Grangerfords and the Shepherdsons

• Do you think that Huck is actually responsible for Miss Sophia running off and what happened in result between the Grangerfords and Shepherdsons? 
• Do you think that Huck cried purely for the loss of his friend Buck or do you think that the death of Buck signified more than that for Huck?

• “Miss Sophia she turned pale, but the color come back when she found the man waren’t hurt.” 

- If you had been reading carefully, this passage would have foreshadowed what was going to happen between Harney and Miss Sophia even before she got the note about half-past two. She didn’t lose her color over Huck and Buck’s safety, but for a man that she should have thought of as her enemy. 

• “Buck went off ‘thout waking me up.” 

- This comment shows that Huck thinks of himself as part of the family. He wanted to be right along side the Grangerfords helping them fight their battles. Even though he didn’t have any part in the feud, if the Grangerfords thought this was important so did Huck. 

• The feud between the Grangerfords and the Shepherdsons is very bloody and more often than not fatal. This doesn’t seem right, especially due to the fact that the origin of the feud isn’t even known by everyone that is involved in it. 
• When Buck is telling Huck about the deaths that have happened due to the feud, he never shows any emotion except for anger. No one ever seems to be sad over the deaths. They just accept that it is supposed to be this way and don’t try and think of ways that they can stop the fighting to protect their loved ones.
