Passage:
"Buck looked about as old as me--thirteen or fourteen or along there, though he was a little bigger than me. He hadn't on anything but a shirt, and he was very frowsy-headed. He come in gaping and digging one fist into his eyes, and he was dragging a gun along with the other one. He says: 'Ain't they no Shepherdsons around?' They said, no, 'twas a false alarm. 'Well,' he says, 'if they'd a ben some, I reckon I'd a got one.' They all laughed..."

Comments and Response:
A new character has been introduced that I believe will be important to the story. I believe that he will be important because Mark Twain gave more detail about Buck then the other characters presented in the same scene. I also think that he will be important because he is close in age to Huck Finn which would make him a good friend if the two got to know each other more. The new character is Buck who reminds me of Huck Finn in a way. If Huck were in the situation that Buck was in I'm pretty sure that Huck would respond the same way and say, "Well, if they'd ben some, I reckon I'd a got one." Not only are they close to each other in age but that they also have similar names, the only difference is the first letter of their names.
