1. Motivation
Huck gives all of his money that he found with Tom Sawyer to Judge Thatcher to ensure that Pap would not get his hands on it. He knows that with the money, Pap would buy more alcohol, which is something that Huck doesn't want because Pap becomes abusive when he is drunk. By selling the money to the Judge, Huck is trying to remove his name from the large sum of money. Pap's motive for fighting for custody of Huck is to acquire the money that Huck has. If Huck would not willingly give the money to Pap, he may have even planned on getting rid of Huck altogether. Huck is motivated to run away to make sure that he is safe and to make certain that there is no way that Pap would get the money.
2. Motif
When Huck sees the footprints, he instantly thinks of Pap. He becomes very scared and paranoid about where Pap would show up. Huck believed in a superstition that when a man drowns, he floats face-down, but when a woman drowns, she floats face-up. When everyone thought that Pap had drowned, Huck believed that he was still alive, because the body was found face-up. Huck was, in fact, right and Pap arrived in the Widow Douglass's house. Huck and Jim also believe in superstitions that relate to religion, like the bewitching of Jim.
3. Foreshadowing
In Chapter 4, Twain foreshadows the arrival of Pap to the story. He does this by bringing up the tracks that Huck sees in the ground that confirms his belief that Pap is still alive and on the hunt for Huck's money. The answer to the foreshadowing in Chapter 4 is revealed in the beginning of Chapter 6. Pap arrives and interrogates Huck about the money. Huck then goes to Judge Thatcher to sell him the money to get it out of his name, and safely away from Pap.
4. Theme
Twain begins his questioning of morality of slavery in Chapter 6 by allowing Pap to talk about blacks in free states. Huck becomes exposed to what life is like for blacks in other places, where they are considered more equal, and even educated, in free states. Huck then is compares what he knows about Jim, Widow Douglass's slave, and what he hears from Pap. Even if Pap is drunk, and seemingly going mad, he is in this moment the voice of reason that allows Twain to show his views on the controversial topic.
5. Suspense
Suspense is created in Chapter 7 by describing the escape that Huck goes through to get away from Pap. He ran away and finds himself in the woods, trying desperately to get as far away from Pap as possible. Suspense is built by the escape, because it leaves the reader wondering whether or not Huck will get away safely and how he will use the raft that appears to the scene.
6. Imagery
At the end of Chapter 7, Twain uses different types of imagery. Some examples are how he describes the ferry and Jackson Island or how he describes the river with the driftwood and the "twinkling" town lights three miles away. Another example is when he finishes the chapter by saying, "There was a little gray in the sky now; so I stepped into the woods, and laid down for a nap before breakfast." He uses many examples of imagery in this sentence alone, from the sky, to the woods, to the time of day.
