Due Thursday, 9/16: Refine our list of winners and losers. Each character / family should appear on only one side of the list. It wouldn't hurt to be able to explain why that character is a winner or a loser. I have included the list below:
Winners
Huck Finn
Jim
Widow Douglas
Tom
Sofia Grangerford / Harney
Judge Thatcher
The Wilkes
Miss Watson
The Duke and The King
The Phelps
Sherburn
Losers
The Grangerford / Sheperdson Clans
Pap
Miss Watson
The King and The Duke
Jim
Tom
Huck
The Widow
Judith Loftus
Judge Thatcher
The Wilkes Family
Definition of winners:
They get what they want
Success
They behave morally
Their struggles merited their reward
The reader likes the character
The ends justified the means
The means justify the end
The means do NOT justify the end
Huck has a positive opinion of the character
They end the story in an improved condition
Definition of losers:
The means justify the end
The means do NOT justify the end
Opposite of winners
They die
No growth throughout the story
Losers are victims of deception
Fail to make sufficient progress
Well, I'm guessing that there will be lots of debate tomorrow on which characters will be on the winners and losers side. . .
