In the beginning of chapter four, Huck talks about school. He has been in school for three to four months. He is beginning to like school. In addition, Widow Douglas is very proud of Huck's progress. One morning, before school, Huck spilled the salt. Huck believed in bad luck omens. Widow Douglas would not let Huck throw salt over his shoulder to keep away the bad luck. Later that day, Huck found his father's shoe prints in the snow. Huck wanted to ward off his bad luck with his father. To do so, Huck gave all his money to Judge Thatcher. Furthermore, Huck went to see Jim, whose hairball could see the future. The hairball told Huck that his father was unsure of what he was going to do. When Huck returned to the house, his father was sitting on the bed.
In chapter five, Huck's father takes custody of Huck. His father is a drunk and made Huck give him money for alcohol. Widow Douglas and Judge Thatcher tried to petition for custody of Huck. Unfortunately, the judge who heard them was new to the county and would not take custody away from a father. The new judge met with Huck's father and tried to civilize him. This effort was unsuccessful. Once a drunk, always a drunk.
Chapter six is about Huck and his father. Huck went to school when his father told him not to. To keep his father occupied, Huck gives him money for booze. One day, Pap, Huck's father, captured Huck and took him to a remote cabin three miles away. In the cabin, Huck would try to please Pap, but there was no one there to stop the him. When Pap would go to town, Huck would be locked in the cabin. One day, while Pap was in town, Huck found a saw and began to create an escape hole. He was part way done when Pap came home. Later that night, Pap thought he was being attacked by the angel of death. Pap held a knife to Huck, because Pap thought Huck was the angel of death. When Pap passed out, Huck grabbed the gun and pointed it at Pap in case the angel of death came again.
