The novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain contains many examples of racism. It stands out in slavery. Even though Twain wrote this book after slavery was abolished there was still people who were unjust towards blacks. Especially in the South whites felt that blacks are below them because they had a darker complexion. The novel demonstrates that even people who are “nice” for example Miss Watson, Widow Douglass, and Sally Phelps, can still convey no worry for the slaves and the cruelty of separating a slave from his family, like Jim is separated from his family. Twain is critical about the way that slaves were treated; he didn’t feel that it was right


 * Chapter Sixteen**

> **Quotes:**
 * "Huck; you's de bes' fren' Jim's ever had; en you's de ONLY fren' ole Jim's got now."
 * "Dah you goes, de ole true Huck; de on'y white genlman dat ever kep' his promise to ole Jim."

> **Analysis on quotes:** > Jim has a hard time being able to trust white people because since he is a slave he has been lied to plenty of times. Huck is the only white person who doesn’t discriminate Jim because of his color nor because of his race, he sees Jim just as he would see someone else that is the same color and race as himself. Even though Huck doesn't read about certain people because they're dead, he can overlook the color of skin and help a friend.


 * Chapter Thirty-Two**

> **Quotes:**
 * "Good gracious! anybody hurt?"
 * "No'm. Killed a nigger."
 * "Well, it's lucky; because sometimes people do get hurt. Two years ago last Christmas your uncle Silas was coming up from Newrleans on the old Lally Rook, and she blowed out a cylinder-head and crippled a man. And I think he died afterwards.

> **Analysis on quotes:** > Even though a black died, Sally doesn’t really count a black man as a real person to die in the accident. Even though Huck hears Sally say this, he isn’t influenced by it and still thinks on his own.
