In the book of “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn
struggles when he is pulled in two different directions by what society accepts and what he really
believes about African Americans. The racist Southern society in which Huck lives causes him
to have a negative feeling towards African Americans; while his newfound friendship with Jim,
Miss Watson’s African American servant, convinces him to think otherwise. Friendly and caring,
