Is or isn’t Huck Finn racist? Does reading Huck Finn help or harm race relations? I believe Huck Finn isn’t racist but shows some race relations.

In chapter 8 on page 41‚ Huck and Jim seem to grow a bond‚ a bond that society wouldn’t accept‚ when Huck later finds out that Jim ran away and were wondering in the woods they seem to develop a close friendship

Another reason Huck matured through the novel was because of him having Jim as basically his only friend. When Huck says to Tom “Good land! I says‚ “Why‚ there ain’t NO necessity for it.

Huck Finn: Conflict Between Society and The Individual The conflict between society and the individual is a theme portrayed throughout Twain’s Huckleberry Finn.

As portrayed several times in the novel‚ Huck chooses to follow his innate sense of right‚ yet he does not realize that his own instincts are more moral than those of society. From the

purposefully constructed Jim in such a way that his actions contrasted how society perceived him‚ proving that often times people are easily the opposite of how they appear. Twain conveys the fact that Jim has good intentions despite risks when he helps Tom after he ’s been shot‚ even though he will undoubtedly be caught. The doctor even notes that "[Jim] was a better nuss or faithfuler‚ and yet he was risking his freedom to do it‚ and was all tired out‚ too"(Twain 285). Surprisingly‚ Twain also made it

“I was out with a ‘yes’m’ before I thought” (p.220).

BY JG Can the influence of Nature and Nurture on two souls be compared? Nature and Nurture both determine Huck’s and Jim’s personality ad behavior. Nature gives them their inborn traits often.

Huck and Jim’s relationship grows over the course of the book and it ultimately leads to Huck wanting to save Jim from slavery. Nevertheless‚ Tom tells Huck after they saved Jim that Miss Watson freed Jim in her will. Miss Watson died during their adventure making Jim a freed man; therefore‚ replacing the n-word with slave misrepresents Jim (Twain 260). Just like removing the word‚ replacing
