Do you think that Huck should have tried to help Jim after Jim knew that Pap had died and didn’t tell Huck?

I think that Huck should have tried to help Jim after Jim knew that Pap had died and did’t tell Huck because Jim and Huck are best friends and Jim had a reason for not telling Jim about his pap, maybe Jim didn't tell Huck because he will probably destroyed Huck completely. another reason why Huck should help Jim is because they bond will grow even more on their journey.

Where do I see the satire in my life?

I see satire in my life is when i read a book and the author is trying to make a good point example, jonathan Swift,he was a good example of a kick butt satire peice which blew my mind out of the water. before i continue the definition of satire is a literary manner which blends humor with criticism for the purpose of instruction or the improvement of humanity. a person when speaking can be satire because they are being arrogrant and a smart attic but in a good way.satire can cause social change when used to make a political or social point (although simply revealing absurdities to the public, as opposed to the quality of the satire, may be the actual cause of any consequences). For instance, the comic strip Doonesbury satirized a Florida county that had a racist law that minorities had to have a passcard in the area; the law was soon repealed with an act nicknamed the Doonesbury Act. In the 2000 Canadian federal election campaign, a Canadian Alliance proposal for a mechanism to require a referendum in response to a petition of sufficient size was satirized by the television show This Hour Has 22 Minutes so effectively that it was discredited and soon dropped.
thats why i see satire in my life and in the real world.
