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.

Hello,<br> do you want to live the American dream why ? more arguments please (4 - 5 ideas)
garri49 [273]
People would want to live the American Dream because of what they are told and promised in their homeland. For example, (I'm not sure when) but immigrants back then would be so excited to go to America because they were told the roads were paved in gold. Most importantly, these people came from countries going through war, famine, discrimination against certain minorities, and other hardships. They came to America to live in America because of the promise of freedom, and that's all they wanted.

Does any other word like 'proudy' exist in English?
attashe74 [19]
I believe “satisfyingly” would work, the definition of satisfyingly is: “in a way that gives fulfillment or the pleasure associated with this.” The definition of “proudly” is: “with a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction in one's own achievements, qualities, or possessions or those of someone with whom one is closely associated.” The word satisfy is used in the definition so I believe they are similar!

Which best describes the rhythm of "This Is Just to Say"?
olganol [36]
In an interview William stated that in his poem "follows a regular meter" (option c). This would mean that it has a regular rhythm. However, it might be seen visually because it is divided into three four-lines stanza and lines seems to be the same length (short) What is more , there is no punctuation so it looks like one sentence.  <span />
