So Jim gets bit by a snake and I'm pretty surprised he's actually okay, because I thought snake bites were way worse, or could be way worse than that. And he didn't have any medicine for it really, so he's pretty lucky, or maybe that snake just wasn't that poisonous.
Then a few days or so later, Huck dresses like a girl to go to a little town outside of the island. That's cute, too bad he didn't pull it off that well. I am very excited to read more of the book now, because I'm so curious to see if people will actually search the island for Jim. It amazes me that they are totally okay that Huck ran away from his pap, but if Jim does it, it's a big deal just because he's a slave. But that is how people were back then, and that's just crazy to me. If people do go to the island, by chance, and find Huck AND Jim, they are going to be so confused. I kind of wonder if they only find Jim and not Huck, if they'll kill him? Or maybe just take him back to town for the award money.

that is the sad part, that they are both humans, both just real people, both have just as the same advantage for life, both social outcasts, ran away as well with both valid reasons of why they did....but sure enough huck might just receive the upper hand on this one of living or having a better life- he's young and a little white boy.
From my knowledge of snakes, I say it more of depends on the type of snake. The reason is that some snakes are poisonous and some are. If the snake was a rattler I would say then it could take hours to kill. Or if it was another type then It's possible he might have a swelled foot for days or nothings happens at all. Do you think that's reasonable enough?
all I've got to say is im actually surprised Jim was okay I thought it was going to be one of those "never recovered" moments
