Mark Twain uses satire to show how the people's rationale of slavery is not right. Huck Finn grows up in an environment surrounded by people that teach him that blacks are not as good as whites. They even go so far as to think that blacks aren't even people like whites. Jim helps and protects Huck during his journey. One night on watch after the duke and king have joined them, Jim doesn't wake Huck up for his part of watch, and Huck says that this happened quite often. Jim was looking out for Huck and taking his watch. Then Huck talks about how Jim is crying for his family that he misses, and he can't understand how Jim can care for his family like white people do. He said it didn't seem natural. So even though Huck is starting to see Jim as more of a person than before, he still thinks that Jim is acting strangely for a black person. Mark Twain also uses satire to show man's inhumanity to man. The robbers on the Walter Scott thought that it would be better to leave the man to drown rather than just killing him outright. They thought leaving him wasn't their fault and it was good morals.

Our society would be similar in that people would still be looking for an easy answer from someone else. There are still gullible people who trust what other people say and take it for fact. Some Christians are still saying to do one thing and then going against their beliefs when they feel the need to do something. Some people in organized religion are just there listening to what others tell them to believe and just doing it without really taking their beliefs to heart. Con artists still take advantage of other innocent people. Prejudice still exists in different forms. The mob still rules when people get together against something, and they just get swept away in the crowd and the moment. Things happen without really thinking because the mob is just an irrational mass of people who don't really know what they want but just follow a leader who seems confident.

brings the ideas of slavery and prejudice to light but shows them in a way that makes people think about what has happened in history. This book helps to bring an understanding of where people with the ideas about slaves being lesser are coming from and to understand why something like that shouldn't happen again. Huck has a growing respect for Jim as a person as the novel progresses despite his prejudiced surroundings. This shows how despite one's surroundings a person can still have their own thoughts about subjects and can change.

Jim is the archetypal figure the companion. Huck meets Jim at the beginning of his journey. Jim helps Huck more than he realizes. Jim takes more of the watch and sometimes doesn't wake Huck up for watch. Also Jim tries to keep Huck protected like when they were on the steamboat with the robbers. Jim provides Huck with companionship because despite the fact that Huck wants to get away from society, he still needs another person to keep him company. When he initially sees Jim, he is delighted to have another person with him even though he is helping an escaped slave. Through the duration of the book, Huck begins to view Jim more and more like another human being rather than a slave. Even though Jim is older than Huck, Jim seems more immature. He has had even less exposure than Huck to education and the outside world.
