Dear Journal, Last night I decided to sneak out of bed after being woken up by a crash from Aunt Polly’s room and someone talking outside. I snuck outside through my window and saw Huck. We started talking and eventually decided to go the graveyard. When we approached the graveyard we heard voices. At first we thought these voices were devils, until we saw Muck Potter. “They’re humans! One of ‘em is, anyway. One of ‘em’s old Muck Potter’s voice.”(Twain,52) We were able to figure out the other two voices were Dr.Robinson and Injun Joe. Eventually we figured out they were trying to dig up a grave. After the dirty work was done Injun Joe started to complain
about the payment. They argued until Dr.Robinson tried to knockout Muck Potter with a board. Injun Joe took Muck Potters knife and slashed Dr.Robinson killing him. A couple days later, I realized Becky wasn’t coming to school anymore because she got sick. This made me depressed because she was the only person I cared about at the time. This made stupid Aunt Polly think that I was sick all along so she gave me a disgusting tasting serum. It was so bad I decided to feed it to the cat instead. “So Tom pried his mouth open and poured down the Painkiller.” After I fed the cat the painkiller it sprang up and went crazy, jumping all over the house making Aunt Polly wondered what happened to the cat. Eventually she found the hidden teaspoon under the bed and wasn’t to happy after that.
