Title:The real Wilks'

 

In chapter 28 Huck finds Mary Jane crying because she thinks that the slave family is still broken up however Huck knows differently.  He tries to tell her the truth however he has a hard time doing this under pressure.  Would you have just told her the truth Dennis?  Or would you have sugar coted it to make her feel better?  Next he gives her a note telling her where the $6000, and then leaves her to never see her again.  He doesn't ever see her but thinks about her every single day.  Next there is an auction going on to auction off the family's belongings, as planned.  The twist however, is that a mob then interrupts the auction with an interesting suprise.  Among the mob are two men who claim to be the real Harvey and William Wilks.  This is insane because they are supposed to be dead!  This made me think back when Huck dressed up as a girl, Sarah Williams, and talked to people about his murder.  Could they be the real Harvey and William Wilks?  If so could they have secretly interacted with Huck in the past without him knowing?  What would you do if people think that you are dead but you aren't?  Would you make it known or just accept it?
