"Huck's Father vs A Father of Today"

               From reading the few chapters I have concluded that Pap, Huck's  Father is the most beer crazed, abusive, selfish, and greedy egomaniac that I have ever heard about. Pap only comes to see his son, who he has not seen in about a year, for the money he got and he would beat up his son if he did not get what he wanted. A father of today would never see their son just because they have a lot of money. Pap is angry at Huck when he finds out that Huck has some kind of education and a fancy bed to sleep in when he himself has no education and sleeps on outside with the pigs. A father of today would want their kids to have a better education than they have and have a nice place to sleep, but not Pap. Pap is surprised when Judge Thatcher and the widow want to take Huck away from him when he beats up Huck, locks him in the cabin when he leaves, and tries to kill Huck when he gets drunk. The fathers of today are nothing like Pap and should use the Pap character to motivate them to be better fathers.
