describe the dramatic family reunion of the wilks' family and their long returned uncle's
Answers
Answer:
The girls even trust the duke and the king over their father's friends, since they believe the duke and king are family. As a show of this trust, the girls give the king and the duke all of their inherited money, telling them to invest it on their behalf and not even bother with a receipt.
Answer:
You've surely heard the phrase, ''every cloud has a silver lining.'' Well, this certainly applies to the Wilks family in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, at least when you look at it from their point of view. The cloud is pretty dark--the girls' father has just died, and one of their uncles and his wife had died not too long before that. It was certainly a sad time. However, when the duke and the king show up, posing as the girls' uncles from England, for the Wilks girls it is a silver lining. They see this as their uncles returned home, and a joyous family reunion, if one tinged with sadness. Of course, we know that the king and the duke are frauds, and so we see that the silver lining is false, which makes the whole situation a bit more depressing.
Similarly, when the king and the duke promise to bring the girls back to England with them, it is another happy occasion for the Wilks. They have been recently orphaned, but now they believe their uncles have come for them, to take them back to England so all of them can be a family again. The cloud here is that the move involves selling all of their property and their slaves, and leaving their home. And again, we see the other side of it, and know the girls won't be going to England at all. However, looking at it purely from the Wilks girls' perspective, the latest development is just one of a lot of highs and lows in a short period.
