- Slavery, robbery, and the racism are social issues in here. When it comes to
black people, the ones who have the money or white people when they saw a
black people they just going to sell the black people into a slavery. Slavery and
treatment of black people in general. Jim, who is a black slave, is treated like a
piece of property. Miss Watson's use of slaves and Christianity shows that
despite their shortcomings, people back then believed they were good and
devout. The conflict between the shepherdsons is proof of this. This is further
illustrated by the n-word usage by those who identify as religious. Slavery and
murder reveal the culture's hypocrisy and the lengths to which people will go in
order to violate their values and ideals. These topics are brought up in The
its own troubles. For murdering its just a normal thing for them. Example for each
other because of the conflict and slavery, also. For stealing the slavery they will
just steal anyone who is black people that they think are runaway to the owner.
The robbery are the one of the common social issue to the story. Example of tom
and finn they use robbery because they are bored and of course to get the
money from people who are powerless. For characters that had issue to black
people one of them is aunt sally. Aunt sally disregarding black people directly
influences Huck and his beliefs about black people. Aunt sally explicitly shows
how little black people matter to her that even their death has no importance to
her. Also from what I observed to hucks perspective is that Huck feels as though
society has rejected to him he just want to go somewhere and wanted to be in a
change environment to feel free just like jim that wanted to be free to feel that he
2. What can you learn from the characters of Huckleberry Fin and Jim? (at least
500 words)
- There’s a list that I learned from Huckleberry Fin. First, Always keep your word.
Fin always a man to his word especially to the part when he said to jim that he is
going to go back to him just wait to him to go check if there is anyone who is
dangerous when it comes to jim the slave because for a fact that when someone
saw jim, they will just go to jim and sell jim to the slavery or they will became the
master. Second, Sometimes, you just have to accept social courtesies and play
along. Fin are a amazing pretender when it comes to new people that they
encounter. I realize this when the part of they encounter the “duke” and the “king”
the pretender. Fin know along that they are a fake but little did not they know that
the pretender king will sell the fake information about jim when they got into the
town that is why the pretender jim are sober when they saw him. Third, Being a
part of this world requires some lying skills. Finn knows how to lie when he
realize that the people he encounter are not good and just after for money.
Especially when finn suddenly knows the king and duke are just pretending to be
in a high position. Fourth, Having a get-away place is a good thing. Fin always
find a good get-away place is like freedom to him and jim. Last, Life gives us a
hard time, but it’s a good thing. If you keep repeating the same actions, you will
not only grow bored but also become mired in the current situation. Fortunately,
life makes sure that you never get comfortable and that nothing ever goes
according to plan. Trials and temptations come our way, but this is for the best.
- As for Jim. Jim is portrayed as a loving man that no matter if the people are bad
to him, he is still kind to them and he is always smiling to jim and to the other
people that he did not know. He is a hard working man through out the story just
to help himself and jim to escape from the bad people that are chasing them. Jim
stand as a father to finn in my opinion. He always looking for finn if finn are alright
and if he is hurt.
