Blues music was created by African Americans in the deep South during the 19th century. One of the main characteristics of blues music that separates the blues from other musical genres is that blues themes are more than often based on personal adversity. One popular blues theme is traveling. When the theme of traveling comes to mind, adversity may not be the first thing one thinks of; however, traveling was historically used as a tool to oppress African Americans in the United States. During the years of slavery, it was common practice to deny African Americans the right to travel or to force African Americans to travel between unfamiliar plantations.

Jean Toomer’s “Georgia Dusk” reveals the remaining influence of slavery on a newly freed African American society. The title is especially relevant within Toomer’s poem, as it signifies a motif that exhibits lightness and darkness within the poem. “Georgia Dusk” signifies this fusion through the word “dusk”, or the time when day transforms into night. This has a possible relation to Toomer’s identity as a mixed-race person, in that he has several racial identities.

Kathryn Lanford Date 8th grade 9th grade credit CHARACTER ANALYSIS The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain Does seeing the Mississippi River through the eyes of a young boy make for a great adventure? Well Mark Twain appears to think so in his fiction story “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” Throughout the book, the adventurer, Huck, learns many life lessons as he travels down the Mississippi River with his trusting friend Jim. Set in the 18th century

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is a first-person story about a boy who starts out in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, Missouri, in the early 1800s. Huckleberry Finn, or Huck, embarks on a journey where he deals with many moral dilemmas, and questions whether his own morals and those of society are ones that he wants to continue to believe in. These same morals are tested continuously as Huck befriends Jim, a runaway slave that he meets. He also sheds his old selfish morals, focusing on his own well being and instincts of self-interest, and eventually rejects the previous morals taught by society and implements his own. We can see the growth and change in Huck’s personality through three main events.

This of course was a racial problem because the slaves were made up of the black population. The majority of northern citizens didn’t necessarily care about the slaves in the south but there was a group of people known as abolitionists that did. The abolitionists wanted to

After the duke and king have just made a fake handbill and turned Jim in for a forty-dollar reward, Huck is left furious, but begins to ponder the situation and feels guilt for his choices in aiding Jim thus far, even though his instincts have told him to do so the whole time. Some of his naivety is still present when he decides to write a letter to Miss Watson revealing Jim’s location as a way of giving himself a reprieve of the guilt. However, after realizing that the relief is only momentary, Huck is back to square one. From the start of this passage and from the start of the novel, Huck’s narration represents a search for his own conscience and identity.

In Beloved, Morrison expresses the impact that slavery has on the black community. We come to know about the past events when Paul D and Sethe communicates about their commonly shared past at Sweet Home. The owners of Sweet Home were Mr. and Mrs. Garner, who dealt with their slaves respectfully. Despite that the slaves at Sweet Home did not have legal or social rights, the Garners allowed them many liberties like to select wives, handle weapons, learn how to read and even buy a mother’s freedom. Still Mr. Garner was a disappointing person as he was a slave owner.

Since he let them continue, they put on fake plays, such as Romeo and Juliet, and lie to strangers to earn money by saying they are a “changed man because of God” during a camp meeting. Twain shows how twisted the world is by using these characters to show how being morally wrong can take you farther than being a good person. As shown previously, Twain expressed his opinion on morality in various ways in Huckleberry Finn. He showed how the stereotypes during this time were not accurate at all, and how they can be broken.

Both the stories irony  are very similar and the author put them for a purpose and contribute to the idea of fear in the stories.the irony in the lottery is that how the villagers act so cheerful, but what they are doing in fact, is a crime. Also, anyone who thinks of a lottery would expect winning  something like cash, but in this case, the winner gets a reward of death. “This isn 't fair, this isn 't right.” This quote shows the point when the irony unfolded, and the reader became shook. Also, anyone who thinks of an exam would think getting good grades, and being proud of oneself, but the exact opposite happens.

More slaves were brought on board, including a large black man named Arthur, who, had been kidnapped from freedom. Then they continued downriver again. As Solomon befriended Arthur and Robert, the three of them plotted to overthrow their captors and escape. However,

One of the people Twain doesn’t admire is The King because he portrays him as a river con man who claims to be a dissapeared heir to the French Throne who also takes control of Huck and Jim’s raft. Pap would be another character who is not admirable because he treated his son worse than a slave owner treated a slave. The Duke is also portrayed as a bad man because he is The King’s side-kick who is also a con man. The Shepherdsons were also a group of unadmirable people because they shot Buck Grangerford along with his family. Mrs. Loftus is a little bit unadmirable because she didn’t let Huck have any of her food or things that he was in need of.

The novel, Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, is a story of a young boy and a slave who ran away from their homes in search of freedom. Even though they were running away from home, they both wanted the same thing. They grew a strong relationship together throughout the book. Jim became the main adult figure in Huck Finn’s life, helping to make decisions but making sure to not be strict like Huck’s home. I think that part of the reason Huck liked Jim so much was because even though Jim was older, he was african-american so Huck felt like he was not being controlled.

In the story, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is about a young boy and a runaway slave throughout the journey it has many obstacles which Huck has to make decisions with. The future students need to read this novel because it teaches the value of friendship and what it truly means. Another reason would be teaches you that you can’t always think about yourself throughout difficult decision. Lastly, it teaches you the journey that Jim and Huck had to make throughout the story. Huck has changed though the course of his journey by becoming kindhearted, selfless, and taking action to protect others especially Jim.

Through Huck’s Eyes The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain takes place during a time before slavery was abolished; therefore, black people were obviously deemed inferior to white people. Our protagonist Huck, the son of the town drunk, fakes his death to run away from his abusive father and finds his slave friend, Jim, also running away. They decide to team up and run away together, but Huck is internally fighting his urge to do “the right thing” and turn Jim in. During the novel, Huckleberry views Jim as a slave, a friend, and most surprisingly, a father.
