Chapter 27 vs. 28

In Chapter 27, the concept of dark humor is shown at the funeral because there are hints at satire relating to death, especially when Huck says, "there warn't no more popular man in town that what the undertaker was." This chapter has a number of hints at dark humor whereas in chapter 28, the tone changes to something lighter. This chapter focuses a lot on the compassion of Mary Jane. Also, Huck learns a lot in this chapter about the humanity of slaves when he sees how Mary Jane treats them. He slowly starts to learn about their dignity and that they are human too.
