Huckleberry Finn has a deeper connection with Jim than with any other character in the novel. This contrast is especially striking given contemporary attitudes on race; though published after the Civil War, it recreates an antebellum Southern society that was completely organized around slavery. Relationships between white and black people were thought to be inevitably antagonistic, a master-slave relationship and not one of equals. Huck, however, does not see Jim as a servant; rather, he feels a kinship with him. Both are outcasts; Jim because he is a black man in a slave society, Huck because of his family situation. His father is abusive and alcoholic who doesn't care for him, and the two women who sometimes care for him try to change his character. Therefore he feels at odds in society, and has trouble fitting in. This makes him more sympathetic to Jim than to other white people.

How and why was dr kings use of non violence so effective in creating lasting social change?
NeX [460]
What made dr kings use of non violence so effective was because of all the media attention the civil rights movement was receiving. It was through such media outlets like television, newspaper and radio that king demonstrated to America and the whole world that the black community wasn't going to bend their knees to white oppression, and that it was in fact the black community that held the moral high ground. This helped create a culture of non violent protest throughout the nation that would continue well beyond the passing of the civil rights act and into present day.
