Raftsmen

in this chapter we truly are exposed to the barabarity of the raftsmen that Huck passes. I think the main thing that we learn about them is that are truly just a step away from what Huck and Jim are. The only difference between the two and the men they pass is a purpose. Huck and Jim have a purpose they have a destination but the other men are living off their raft just as well but have no purpose. This really gives us a basis for understanding what a reeal raftsman is and how Huck and Jim are different from that.
