your lip,” says he. “You’ve put on considerable many frills since I been away. I’ll take you down
a peg before I get done with you. You’re educated, too, they say-can read and write. You think you’re better’n
your father, now, don’t you, because he can’t? I’ll take it out of you. Who told you you might meddle with
such hifalut’n foolishness, hey?-who told you you could?”’

Explanation:
The Audacious tone
in this passage is
very evident, the use
of broken English, and
just the raw emotion behind
the sentences are extremely evident. Pap is talking to Huck and
criticizing him for being educated and "thinking" that he is better than his father. Pap has allot of courage and is extremely
ballsy for criticizing his son for being to educated, and "pegging him down a notch." Mark Twin employs the use of broken
English, because for those who are less educated and do not speak proper English their English becomes more and more indistinguishable
and more difficult to understand. To show Pap's anger towards his son Mark Twain makes Pap's speech harder to read and therefore
displaying his anger towards his son. This combination of anger and courage displayed toward his son shows that Pap had an
extremely audacious tone towards his son.
