Huckleberry Finn
How does the book critic society during the antebellum?

Huckleberry Finn:
• Boy from the South who ignored the fact that black were capable of much more then just being slaves.
• To him blacks were not supposed to be free, intelligent, nor ungrateful for being enslaved
• Racism was something that was inherited.
• Jim could not actually be black.
“He white inside and I reckoned he’d say what he did say” (Twain 290).

The Grangerfords family vs. the Shepherdsons
• Stupid family feud
• A lot people dying to protect their family’s name.
“I crept along down the river bank a piece, and found the two bodies… I cried a little when I was covering Buck’s face” (127).
• Refusing to find a solution to bring an end to the feud.

King and Duck
• Two thief
• They would to make money in any possible.
• They had no values and were very selfish

Phelps
• They captured him and were very good to him.
• Nonetheless they were planning to send him back to slavery.
“Jim told him [Tom] Uncle Silas come every day or two to pray with him, and aunt Sally come in to see if he was comfortable and had plenty to eat” (262).
• Nothing but hypocrites
