When there is a variety people, whether they’re real or fictional, living in different circumstances will cause their attitudes or interpretations of life to differ. No two people see things the same way which means they are going to be affected differently.

He has a very positive outlook on life even though he is in the worst position someone could be in in the 1800’s; a slave. He believed that one day he would be reunited with his family again, and that’s what got him through the day. He also believes in treating others kindly, even though it isn’t returned most of the time. Jim’s positivity effects him in a positive way.

But I noticed dey wuz a nigger trader roun ' de place considable lately, en I begin to git oneasy” (Twain, 54). Jim, like most slaves, was tired of being treated like an object that could be sold and traded, and instead wanted to be treated like the person he was.

Because of how he was living, Jim easily could’ve had a very negative attitude, but he always looked on the brighter side and kept his head up, which proved to work out well for him because of his escape.

They knew that their current living situations couldn’t bring them joy, but believed that there were ways for them to be happy. But it wouldn’t come easily, they had to go find
