Chapter 17

In chapter 17, What happens in that Huck's, Tom's and Joe's families and friends gathered and went to their funeral. They were all feeling very bad. Becky was there and she started crying because she felt sad that Tom had "died" and she felt very guilty for rejecting him. Also, other boys were talking in a good way about Joe, Tom, and Huck. They shared the last time they saw all of them. The next morning, at church, Aunt Polly, Mary, Sid and the Harper family were all in black. The sat at the chairs and the minister began talking about the three of the boys. Suddenly, Tom, Joe, and Huck entered to the church! Everyone was happy and They were hugging each other. The last line of the chapter was:"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." This means that Aunt Polly was nice to him that day more than ever in a long time. That she got mad of what he did sometimes but she still treated him very good. Also that he didn't know if he was either gratefull to him or to God, but he knew that she was very gracefull that his little boy had come back.
