Passage:
"Every time he got money he got drunk; and every time he got drunk he raised Cain around town; and every time he raised Cain he got jailed."

Comments and Response:
I find the diction strange in this sentence in the sense that instead if using the word ruckus or trouble, Mark Twain used the word Cain. I guess he must of really have liked that word like how I like the word conundrum and melancholy. It could also be credited to the the slang that the country folk in the book that the people or Huck Finn is use to sense the story is told from his point of view.
