17. How can we characterize the relationship between Huck and Jim? Does Huck ever view Jim as an equal, and vice versa?

1 answer:

7 0

Huck and Jim initially start out on two different levels of the totem pole: with Huck, a young, white male being on the top; and Jim, an escape slave, being on the bottom. Huck understands this and thus treats Jim poorly (such as when he plays tricks on Jim or looks down upon him), but after their time spent together as runaways, Huck begins to understand and respect Jim— and even care for him.

Answer:

"The program was written by Sara, who is an expert in her field."

"To whom should I talk to about the report?"

Explanation:

Who is a pronoun that represents the subject of a sentence:

Who would like to go to the supermarket?
Who built that castle?

Whom is a pronoun that represents the object of either a verb or a preposition:

To whom was the song dedicated?
Whom do you trust?
I am not sure with whom I will go to the concert.

By replacing the pronoun with he/she or him/her it is easier to realize its function:

Who/whom took my laptop?

He took my laptop (RIGHT) - him took my laptop (wrong)

So in this case, the correct pronoun to use is who.

Who/whom should I talk to about the issue with my boss?

I should talk to he (wrong) - I should talk to him. (RIGHT)

Here, the correct pronoun to use is whom.
