Isa's -Chapter 17

The following events take place in Chapter 17. It is Saturday, and the funeral for the boys is the next morning. At school, Becky was so sad because she gave up Tom's prized knob, and has nothing to remind her of him, also she regrets rejecting Tom and cries. Other children come along and they talk about the last time they saw Tom and Joe, bring to mind memories of them, and how both boys predicted that something was about to happen. The next morning, everyone in town come together at the church. Aunt Polly, Sid ,Mary and the Harper family enter the church dressed entirely in black, and the entire church stands as they take their seats in the front row. Church began and the minister started speaking kind words about the boys. At that moment, the door opens and Tom, Huck and Joe enter the church. Their families were very happy and grab Tom and Joe and begin to hug and kiss them, Tom was sad because anyone hug Huck so he told his Aunt and then she begins to hug Huck making him more uncomfortable or happy than being ignored by everyone. Tom’s outcome was the following: he was so proud for being at church and because he passed a great time. The last line of the chapter was the following: “Tom got more cuffs and kisses that day- according to Aunt Polly’s varying moods- than he had earned before in a year; and he hardly knew which expressed the most gratefulness to God and affection for himself” That means that he hadn’t received cuffs and kisses form Aunt Polly and he didn’t knew if the kisses or the cuffs showed more gratefulness to God and affection for himself, well both make gratefulness to God because the kisses shows your feelings toward the person and the cuffs do the same things I think.
