"'Quick, Jim, it ain't no time for fooling around and moaning"pg77
Huck is trying to make jim move cause huk wants to go. So he pushes Jim a bit to get him going. And in a way it works to get jim movin.
"you could see her nigger go off right under your eyes..."
Mark twain makes reference to the word nigger which at that time was mean. It was a common word back then, but today it is a very heavy word which could get u into troble. And so you get a sence of the way people are towards black people back then.
"Goodness gracious, is dat you, Huck?" p89
After the storm the raft was in bad shape. With huck almost drownding. Jim was happy to see he was alright.

good man
"Nothing can be done, you know, until I get on the ground."
This quote is saying he is waiting for the right time to arise. it also sheds light on the circle of life. He is living in a particular moment that is bad and he wants to stop and begin a new.But he must learn to deal with and accept it to make it better.
“there may be a devilish Indian behind every tree.”
What he is trying to say is that there always is going to be something that will threaten you. So u have to work hard to try and prevent anything from happening to you. Cause there could be trouble lurking ahead of you behind a tree.

emily
i think there are some parts that support the idea of Emily being transcendentalism. Like "When it comes the landscape listens,..." this shows the idea of nature which is the idea of transcendentalism. There are all sorts of references to nature like with grass, daffodils, and snakes this supports transcendentalism.

Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)
He is talking about the way he keeps disagreeing with what he says. he says how The condition or quality of being numerous. and what he does shows he doesn't care about what he is contradicting himself.
The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering.
He hints in this one at the thought of Nature. He says that the hawk does this becasue of him talking and loitering. and this is imposible for an animel to talk to a person.

Quote for Black veil
pg52 "But what has good Parson Hooper got upon his face?" This shows the time era. Because they are not used to it. And it shows something about the Puritan religion. He is doing something different.
