Satire Quotes In Huckleberry Finn

"He was the innocentest, all-time erstwhile soul I ever see. Merely it warn't surprising; considering he warn't only just a farmer, he was a preacher, too, and had a little one-horse log church down back of the plantation, which he congenital it himself at his own expense, for a church building and schoolhouse, and never charged for his preaching, and it was worth information technology, too. In that location was plenty other farmer-preachers similar that, and done the aforementioned fashion, down South. "

Here Twain satirizes Silas much like the widow, only in a more serious case. Silas is a farmer and a preacher that people of the boondocks claim to be a great preacher because he preaches for free and his preachings is very much worth listening to. In the novel, Twain writes that he also owns slaves in his plantation. So he is a slave owning preacher which Twain satirizes much similar the widow, considering she is also a stiff Christian. This places Silan, the priest, in a weird predicament, where he disobeys the Bible by owning a slave of his ain to piece of work for him. This kind of activity can be seen today where people like Silan go out and practise things that the Bible doesn't necessarily concord with. On the news you can come across gay men getting ordained everyday. Even though being gay is accepted, in legal terms, but in the Bible being a homosexual is highly unacceptable. In the picture yous can see a openly gay priest kissing another human, which breaks the priest's catholic adjuration to not be in a human relationship, but to only stay true to God, and in addition exist gay. This is a perfect instance of how people disobey the Bible when they say they are strong Christians.
