In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck Finn experienced many internal problems throughout the novel. When it comes to slavery, he agrees with the philosophy of slavery, but sometimes he only follows that philosophy because it is what he was taught in his society. "A man cannot feel comfortable without his own approval." (Mark Twain) Huck tries to approve his actions by following his conscience, regardless of whether society deems him right or wrong. One thing Huck experiences is racism throughout the novel. In Their Eyes Were Watching God, the racism is not as extensive as in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but it is still present. After the hurricane hit their home, Tea Cakes took charge of burying the dead. The government said to find coffins for the whites and throw the blacks somewhere. This tells us that racism will always exist in novels. Another connection I found to the novel is the article The Democratic Art of Writing by Huckleberry Finn and Twain. Connects The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It also foreshadows how they will both work together to save Jim after he is sold by the Dauphin (Nichols). In the first 15 chapters of the novel, Huck was reluctant to become Jim's friend. Jim was a slave and Huck thought he was inferior to him, which is revealed in the way he acts towards him. In Say it, Jim: The Morality of Connection in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Bollinger says "Only when its dealings with moral reasoning does this become problematic" (Bollinger). However, in chapter 16 we see a slight change in Huck's moral conscience. “I was so sorry to hear Jim say that, it was such a debasement of him. My conscience began to stir me... middle of paper... realizing that they are the same as him. They are both human beings and deserve the right to be equal. Huck really grows over the course of the novel and my research shows this. Works Cited PageAllen, Janet., and Burke, Jim, eds. Literature by McDougal Littell. Illinois. Houghton Mifflin Company.NA.
