Part 5: Quotation with an allusion for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
“After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers, and I was in a sweat to find out about him; but by and by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn’t care no more about him, because I don’t take no stock in dead people.” (Twain 12)
Information about Moses is found in the Christian Bible. He was considered a religious leader and a prophet. He is also credited for writing the Torah (Jewish religious book). He is the most important prophet for the Jewish faith, and also important prophets for Christianity and Islam as well as other religions.
A bulrush is a reed plant that grows next to water.
