Passage:
"Whenever his liquor begun ti work he most always went for the govment. This time he says: 'Call this a govment! why, just look at it and see what it's like. Here's the law a-standing ready yo take a man's son away from him- a man's own son, which he has had all the trouble and all the anxiety and all the expense of raising. Yes, just as that man has got that son raised at last, and ready to go to work and begin to do suthin' for him and give him a rest, the law up and goes for him.'"

Comment and Response:
(R) Just like Huck Finn's dad, Pap, is blaming the "govment" for all his problems, so do the old people in our society today. Although it was Pap's fault that all this stuff is happening to him he is points a finger at the "govment" and says it is there fault all this stuff going on with him. The same with some of the older people in our society that blame everything on the government, although a lot of the time it really is the government that causes the old people trouble b cancelling certain things and taking their social security checks away.
