Quotations for Analysis

  on me pretty tightly mostly, but before cold
  weather I used to slide out and sleep in the
  woods sometimes, and so that was a rest to me
  (Twain 14).
• Analysis Despite having basic amenities, Huck
  still prefers to be in nature. A house and a bed
  make him feel cramped. He takes a break from
  society and is able to rest up when he is alone
  in the woods.
