How Does Twain Present Racism In Huck Finn

Joint Commission is an independent, not for profit organization that accredits more than 19,000 health care facilities in the U.S. Accreditation is voluntarily done by the Joint commission visiting the facility and performing quality cheeks to certify organizations who have followed specific state licensure requirements to become accredited (Hay, 2017). The Joint Commission is continuously updating policies on sentinel events in all facilities. The guidelines are an overall policy for all organizations to follow. The sentinel event policy does recognize each individual entity but follows the same outline for these events that occasionally take place.

Many students, scholars, and teachers agree that Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, is a racist book pushing racist ideologies. Are these individuals correct in their beliefs, or are they completely missing the point of Huckleberry Finn. Many of these persons say that Mark Twain was racist, and they say that his book, Huckleberry Finn, is just a tool that he used to spread his racist feelings. While many people may feel that this is the case, they have some key issues to their argument.

“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, gives an eye opening view of the South during this time period through the eyes of Huck and Jim. Huck and Jim are very unlikely friends but become friends never the less and share many experiences on the river together. The two influence each other in more ways than one and may not even realize they do. They both have their own opinions and views although society heavily impacts them. Society’s view on racism is Huck’s view on racism because that is what he was brought up to be. The society has a powerful effect to smother problems such as slavery and racism. Huck being brought up in a society that ingrains racism in to you as a child is struggling to decide what is morally right and wrong to do and who will hopefully realize Jim's humanity at the end of the novel (Culture Shock).While talking to Huck, Aunt Sally projects "It warn't the grounding -- that didn't keep us back but a little. We blowed out a cylinder-head." "Good gracious! anybody hurt?" "No'm. Killed a nigger." "Well, it's lucky; because sometimes people

By refusing to let Huck sees the deceased man’s face, Jim is protecting Huck. It does not matter to Jim what race Huck is, he feels the need to shield Huck, a child, from the grueling scene. Jim unknowingly has become a father figure to Huck, even though Huck still has prejudiced against him. After tricking Jim, Huck feels bad and confesses, “It was fifteen minutes before I could work myself up to go and humble myself to a nigger; but I done it, and I warn’t ever sorry for it afterwards, neither. I didn’t do him no more mean tricks, and I wouldn’t done that one if I’d a knowed it would make him feel that way” (Twain 89).

To Huck, a slave is another’s property or investment; so consequently, he believes Jim is wrong to run from his master. Living in a society tolerant of such deep-rooted racism and prejudice, Jim’s generation is challenged merely to survive.

Jim and Huck, Jim being an adult slave, and Huck being a white little kid, are complete opposites but yet are somehow friends that rely on each other. Huck relies on Jim first when "... I went to him [Jim] that night and told him pap was here again, for I found his tracks in the snow” (Twain). Huck trusts Jim and shows that no matter what skin color or how old you are that person can be trustworthy. In one essay it is said, “Jim has no authoritative voice, nor is he in any position to articulate the obvious: in consoling and advising Huck he actually substitutes for the young boy's father” (Valkeakari).

Huck comes to the realization that Jim cares about his family as much as a white person would. At this point Huck stops seeing Jim as a slave, but sees him as a companion and as an equal. This is a major step in his moral development in the fact that he no longer follows what is sociably expected but rather takes his own path on what he consciously knows is

Huck finally understands that Jim, even though he is a black man, also cares for his family and endures emotional breakdowns. Huck begins to feel a strong friendship forming with Jim, and he feels compelled in helping Jim becoming a free man.

(Twain 39). Pap feels threatened by Huck’s new-found intelligence, so he beats Huck and removes him from the “civilized” lifestyle he has been living with the Widow Douglass, Hucks legal guardian who adopted him after Huck found the money. This physical and emotional abuse from his own father breaks Huck’s

Huck realizes many of the opinions about black people he has grown up believing are not true as he befriends Jim and learns lessons from him. Huck assumes Jim is not loyal to his family and that he does not care about his children. Huck is silent after Jim tells of the shame he felt after slapping his daughter for not answering him, not realizing she had lost her hearing. One morning he wakes and sees Jim sad and upset about being away from his family. Huck realizes, “I do believe he cared just as much for his people as white folks does for their’n.”

Twain uses colloquial diction to convey Huck’s struggle between the values of his southern upbringing, which urge him to return Jim, and his strong friendship and loyalty with Jim, which encourage him to protect the runaway. Although Huck lacks education, Huck interprets the laws in ways that are morally sound, an interpretation that most educated people fail to understand, while they blindly accept the injustice of slavery. Throughout the novel, Twain makes use of uneducated diction and syntax to convey an ironic contrast between Huck’s ability to discern between moral and immoral actions and his lack of education.

The Great War; nationalism played a big role in this extremely event for trying to unite national groups by through government. It created a big competition against other country and created competitions between Europe’s Powers. Germany’s national interest was to extend their territory by trying to invade and take over other land and water, however it did not work well for them which made Gemany suffered.

(278). Although Huck’s upbringing leads him to think of Jim as property, Huck believes that Jim is the same as him on the inside. That even though his skin was black, he had a white soul. Although this may not seem like a compliment, it’s Hucks way of expressing that he thinks of Jim as an equal. And even though blacks are inferior in their society, Huck no

Through different situations, Twain is able to represent racism issues through drastically contrasting characters, including a drunk, a nun, and a slave. However, besides the white, young, pure main character, Huck’s experience with the pressures of society on racism, Twain was also able to give the readers the point of view of fully grown white men at the time: the Duke and the King. The Duke and the King, unlike Finn, have already been subjected to years of brainwashing by society on the topic of racism. Yet these men are more concerned on survival than on social values and appropriation. This sets a circumstance to consider racism when the living state of the immoral, white crooks are at the level of “dirty”, runaway blacks under the law

Through the theme of rebellion against society, Huck demonstrates the importance of thinking for oneself and embodies the idea that adults are not always right. This is highlighted in his noncompliance when it comes to learning the Bible and in the decisions he makes when it comes to Jim, decisions that prove to be both illegal and dangerous. By refusing to conform to standards he does not agree with, Huck relies on his own experiences and inner conscience when it comes to making decisions. As a result, Huck is a powerful vehicle for Mark Twain’s commentary on southern society and
