Read the excerpt below and answer the question. “henry the eight…used to marry a new wife every day, and chop her head off next morning. and he would do it just as indifferent as if he was ordering up eggs…. and he made every one of them tell him a tale every night; and he kept that up till he had hogged a thousand and one tales that way, and then he put them all in a book….well, henry he takes a notion he wants to get up some trouble with this country…. all of a sudden he heaves all the tea in boston harbor overboard, and whacks out a declaration of independence…. that was his style…. that’s the kind of bug henry was; and if we’d a had him along ’stead of our kings, he’d a fooled that town a heap worse than ourn done.” in at least one hundred words, does huck believe that the information he gives is true? what purpose does this excerpt serve in the story?

That’s the kind of bug Henry was; and if we’d a had him along ’stead of our kings, he’d a fooled that town a heap worse than ourn done.”

In this excerpt, Huck tells us about Henry VIII. However, his knowledge of history is clearly very limited, as he ends up mixing many different time periods, stories, settings and events that are not related to each other. He makes a connection between Henry VIII, The Thousand and One Nights, the Boston Tea Party and the Declaration of Independence. It is unclear whether Huck believes all this to be true or not. However, he does tell all of these stories for a purpose. Huck wants to prove that throughout history, kings and other noble people have always behaved the same way, and we should not expect them to be any different nowadays.
