HW for October 2 - "The Declaration of Independence" and "Huck Finn" (chapters 3-6)

 1. Speculate on the use of subjects, pronouns (and their respective referents) in "The Declaration of Independence"

2. "Miss Watson seems to see no conflict between the religious and racial narratives she embodies" (Terrell L. Tebbetts, "Civilization, Outlawry, and a Declaration of Independence...", Mississippi Quarterly, 2023). How far is this negligence of contradictions true for the text of The Declaration of Independence?

3. How is Huck's perceived oppression and struggle for freedom comparable (or not) to that of the North American colonies in 1776?
