Step-by-step explanation:

"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain is about the adventures and childhood of the title character Huckleberry Finn. This is the story of a young boy looking for adventure and freedom, travelling around, exploring things.

Chapter 5 saw the character of Pap, Huck's father coming to Huck to take his fortune. He also saw that Huck had started attending school, realizing that he is the first of the family to get proper education. Pap thinks that Huck's education had made him feel superior, making Pap angry. The excerpt provided in the text is when Pap warns Huck about going to school again. He feels that the only thing worse than getting education is learning religion. he doesn't want Huck to either study/ learn or be religious, for he feels that religion makes people judge others, moralizing them.
