What is your definition of community? What about charity? People that are there for you and have your back. It’s not only your family, but it’s the people around you that know you and would help you if you needed it. That is my definition of community. My definition of charity would have to be if i needed to define it it would be to help someone less fortunate than you in any way. It could be financially or giving them food and clothes.

In Angela’s Ashes the definition of community shows when their neighbors help them with their children. The community of neighbors helps them get through the death of the all of the children.

In a way I believe that the community in Huckleberry Finn is similar to the ones
