Although society sees him as evil, Huck knows that he is innocent and sees him as a person. Mark Twain criticizes society by using the word 'servant' instead of slave, to show that Jim is a person, that is just treated horribly and being manipulated into believing that he owes anything to this people. Especially that society believes that someone can be owed by someone else, where servant refers to working for someone but not belonging to them.]]> 2023-05-08 18:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2582533129 brooke_brudner https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2582533369 “And looky here—you drop that school, you hear?

Mark Twain is criticizing his beliefs because Pap is selfish and wants Huck to turn out the same way he did, even though he has an opportunity to do something better with his life.

--> how does this connect to him criticizing education though? I would have used instead the fact that Huck shows that he is very intelligent despite not having an education--> This would prove that is is not necessary. The quote could be when he fakes his death or anytime he is able to think on his feet and show he is smart. ]]> 2023-05-08 18:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2582533568 brooke_brudner https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2582533780 "Well, there's five ******* run off tonight up yonder, above the head of the bend.

They ask him whether the man in his raft was black or white, because if he was black they would kill him or bring him in for money. This shows how little respect they had for black people at the time, since they don't even look at them as people, instead just a way to make more money.

--> This is accurate but how does this show that Twain is criticizing how they think ? --> he does this when he has Huck lie to them. If he agreed with them he would have turned Jim in. ]]> 2023-05-08 18:40:46 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2582533957 brooke_brudner https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2582534135 "And then something struck me. I says, now I reckon the widow or the parson or somebody prayed that this bread would find me, and here it has gone and done it. So there ain’t no doubt but there is something in that thing—that is, there’s something in it when a body like the widow or the parson prays, but it don’t work for me, and I reckon it don’t work for only just the right kind."

Mark Twain criticizes the Souths belief in religion by explaining how when the widow or parson pray, good things come of it yet it doesn't work for Huck. He believes that their is something in their body, and that prayer only works for the wrong kind of people. Instead of pray working for him when he needs it, it works for people that aren't fighting to survive and he 'the power of god/pray' to get through their life. ]]> 2023-05-08 18:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2582534307 brooke_brudner https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2585890466 "It was fifteen minutes before I could work myself up to go and humble myself to a ******; but I done it, and I warn't ever sorry for it afterwards, neither.

In society, it didn't matter if someone made a black person feel bad in any type of way because they don't see them as fully human. So Mark Twain mocks the racist views in the south by saying that even though it was hard for Huck to apologize because he was raised with different ideologies, he was still able to put his ego aside and understand Jim is human. And if a kid is able to do that than an adult should be able to aswell.  ]]> 2023-05-10 17:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2585890888 brooke_brudner https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2585891069 Jim is not educated, so he does not understand that different people speak different languages in order to communicate. He views everyone as equals, and believes that humans should all speak the same language because they are the same species. He doesn't understand that different races and places evolve different ways of speaking because they are in different areas from each other, just like other animals. He wishes that people didn't use skin color or race as a way to differentiate each other. Mark Twain criticizes his lack of education by showing that Jim truly is taught nothing, and treated like an animal, who is trained to do thing that only the owner deems necessary to them.
--> and yet despite being uneducated, he still makes more sense than those people who see blacks as animals. This is where the critique can be found. ]]> 2023-05-10 17:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2585891069 brooke_brudner https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2585891177 Most people see slaves as a way to make money, instead of human beings. They do not see themselves in Jim, and would rather turn him in and have him killed to make $300, rather than just minding their own business. Twain criticizes slavery by highlighting the woman's ignorance to the situation. ]]> 2023-05-10 17:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2585891177 brooke_brudner https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2585891323 Jim is very superstitious, and throughout the book it is seen that he has these beliefs, almost like a religion or belief system. Jim may have never been taught religion before, but somehow he does pick up on these superstitions such as the snake-skin. Twain mocks religion by comparing it to little superstitions and bad luck, making it seem like in the south everyone is extremely reliant on religion. Although Jim and Huck see the snake biting him as bad luck, the logical answer is because a snake comes to wear the dead snake skin is left, and must have thought Jim killed it.]]> 2023-05-10 17:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2585891323 brooke_brudner https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2587372767 2023-05-11 15:15:07 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2587372767 brooke_brudner https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2587374961 2023-05-11 15:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2587374961 brooke_brudner https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2587376486 2023-05-11 15:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2587376486 brooke_brudner https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2587378072 2023-05-11 15:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/brooke_brudner/l18xwszamrx8bwtm/wish/2587378072
