On page 3, Huck is in his bed, preparing for sleep. “Pretty soon a spider went crawling up my shoulder, and I flipped it off and it lit in the candle; and before I could budge it was all shriveled up. I didn’t need anybody to tell me that was an awful bad sign and would fetch me some bad luck.” Spiders used to be refered to as bad luck, killing one that is. Huck is scared of, not the spider, but the fact it landed in that miniscule flame. The probability that it would have landed in the flame has Huck worried. The mood that Mark Twain has set up in the paragraph(s) let’s the reader become more aware of how he truly means for the bad luck to be recognized. Huck seem’s to think the mood of his surroundings and the spider have a common bond, this is also why he is so scared. In order to keep off the bad luck, Huck performs numerous activities, such as turning around in his tracks three times and crossing his heart each time, and he tied a little lock of his hair in a thread.
