What do you make of the Duke and the King? Is it wise for Huck and Jim to go along with them?

to me these two men are large scams. I'm not sure if it is going to end up good or bad for huck and jim, but I'm sure that these two men are hiding something. i don't think that it is wise for huck and jim to go with these men that call them selves duke and king. i think that wile huck is trying to do the right thing by helping them, he should have let them pass because the more people they bring and the more they ask questions then the more likely it is that they are going to get found out.

I agree with you on how Jim and Huck should not trust the Duke and the King. However, they did bring them money and entertainment, so as of yet no serious harm has come to the group.

Also, you made a very interesting point when you said that the more people on the raft, the greater the chance of them being spotted. An increase in people going ashore and walking around town means that there is a greater chance for someone to discover who Huck and Jim really are. Thus, their escape would be ended. As of yet, the Duke and the King do not pose such a problem.
