Huck put a dead rattle snake at the bottom of Jim's sleeping bag. What Huck didn't know was that the when a rattle snake dies its mate always coils around the dead partners body. This resulted in Jim being bitten by the snake on his heel and what was supposed to be a funny joke ended up being a serious accident and a dirty trick played on Huck's part. Huck felt extremely bad about the incident though and told Jim he would do anything to make up for his mean trick.
Huck decided to trick Jim this time and not any earlier because he didn't have to worry about anything at all to play this trick. Huck didn't have to worry about the Widow finding out or making too much noise. He also didn't have to worry about Jim finding out and telling on him. All these factors ultimately led to Huck's decision in tricking Jim now opposed to any earlier. This trick was an easy one for Huck to do and he was sure at the time that nothing would bounce back at him and get him in trouble for doing this. This incident caused Huck to believe that he had bad luck now, as well as Jim.

This is a good way to think about the trick that Huck played on Jim. I didn't think of it this way. This is well thought out. Good Post.
Nice blog bachelart. I like how you thought about why he played the trick and even though this isn't the trick I thought he played, i still enjoyed your blog a lot. Keep up the good work mon ami.
