Question

Read the excerpt from chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

I reckoned I was scared now, too; but in a minute I see I was mistaken--that is, after the first jolt, as you may say, when my breath sort of hitched, he being so unexpected; but right away after I see I warn't scared of him worth bothring about.

What does the phrase “I warn't scared of him worth bothring” illustrate about Huck’s character?
that he doesn’t take other people seriously
that he is easily frightened by others
that he has a very high opinion of his father
that he is a strong judge of character

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer is D. that he is a very strong judge of character.

Even though he is young, Huck knows that his father is just a drunk loser, who would milk him out for money to buy alcohol. Huck is a troubled child who is used to mischief, so he has learned to tell real danger from mere annoyance. His father's behavior does frighten him at first, but it only takes a moment for him to realize that there is no reason to be afraid.

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is indeed D.
