What other themes appear in the text? ● Provide Supporting Evidence: For each section of the book, record at least three significant quotations or pieces of evidence to support the theme of loyalty and rebellion or another theme you discover (minimum one full sentence; no more than 1 paragraph). Copy significant evidence into your journal. ● Explain Your Evidence: What is the significance of your evidence? Explain how the quotation you chose relates to the major theme.

Huckleberry Finn Annotations: Four pieces of evidence and four explanations per section Section 1: Chapters 1-10 Section 2: Chapters 11-20 Section 3: Chapters 21-30 Section 4: Chapters 31-43 Into the Wild Annotations: Four pieces of evidence and four explanations per section Section 1: Chapters 1-4 Section 2: Chapters 5-8 Section 3: Chapters 9-13 Section 4: Chapters 14-18 SAMPLE ANNOTATION: Evidence: In chapter one of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck states, “The Widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn’t stand it no longer I lit out” (2). Explanation: This passage shows that Huck rebels against the widow’s “sivilized” standards of “regular” and “decent” behavior. Rather than participate in polite society, he would rather go away on his own and live as he pleases. In this capacity, he seems to remain loyal to his own identity.
