Помогите хорошо перевести ,пожалуйста
a drunken bum for a father;
an imagination too active for his own good;
as someone readers might have heard of in the past;
continues to attend school just to spite Pap;
aboard a wrecked steamboat;
genteel families;
freedom and tranquility are shattered;
in the subsequent confusion;
disappointed at their lack of income;
Toms plan is haphazardly based on several of the prison and adventure novels;
Huck ponders his next adventure away from civilization.
