Reading Annotation Guide: You must annotate every chapter of this novel using the annotation guide below.

connections or thoughts. In addition, a one sentence summary is due for each chapter. Please include the most
important plot details in these summaries. There should be a total of thirty chapter summaries.
Thematic Ideas:
1) Interlocking system of oppression: explicit system of racism through institutional slavery
2) Dualities:
* Exploration of moral truth versus education of social “truth” (hypocrisy)
* Development of “Christ” centered moral values versus participation in institutional Christianity
3) Maturation or “Coming of Age”: Bildungsroman progression
Symbols/Motifs:
1) Mississippi River
2) Rafts
3) Elements of superstition
Rhetorical Elements: (Explain corresponding effect or significance in your annotation)
1) Verbal, Situational, Dramatic Irony**  Consider the rhetorical strategies Twain employs to deliver a
convincing satire.
