How Jim is portrayed in Huck Finn

Jim is portrayed as a poor slave. Even though he is a slave when Huck and Tom come across him and Tom wants to tie him up Huck says no. That shows that Huck sort of cares about Jim. So does Tom because he left money when he took things from Jim.


In the movie Jim is looking out for Huck and tells him to stay away from his dad. Jim is a family man and doesn't want to leave his family but he knows he has to.

Shrek :D

Exaggeration: to enlarge, increase, or represent something beyond normal bounds so that it becomes ridiculous and its faults can be seen

Exaggerating that she needs to get a man with a lot of money.

Incongruity: to present things that are out of place or are absurd in relation to its surroundings
The baking of the giant cookie and it going through the town.

Reversal: to present the opposite of the normal order (e.g. the order of events, hierarchical order)
When the fairy godmother found out that Fiona was already married.

Parody: to imitate the techniques and/or study of some person, place, or thing

Huck Finn Journal 2

Huck doesn't like how he has to conform to what Miss Watson says. He doesn't want to wear nice clothes or get cleaned up. He'd rather stay outside and be in the woods. Huck also doesn't like how Miss Watson is trying to make him follow a certain religion. I think that Huck should be more appreciating of Miss Watson and Widow Douglas because they took him in and are giving him a better life. If it wasn't for them then he would be living with his father just wandering around which isn't good for a young boy. Now that he is being brought up in a nice home he can get an education and in the future have a career and a family and become more of a man that his father was.

Huck Finn Journal 3

Huck Finn is being verbally abused by his father. His father doesn't like that Huck is sort of rich now and all he wants from Huck is his money. Huck's father also doesn't like that Huck is becoming more educated than him. I don't think that Huck misses anything about his father but he doesn't like living with the Widow Douglas because he doesn't like how there trying to civilize him. Huck would rather live in the woods and be free but he does not want to live with his abusive father. I think that Huck is better off not living with his father because now he can actually make something of himself and not become someone who just wanders around and is a drunk like his father.
