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.

Which response best explains how the authors of queen of the falls and where is Niagara falls view Annie Taylor's efforts to pre
velikii [3]

The authors of both texts acknowledge Annie Taylor's efforts to build her own barrel and have the courage to use it.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Annie Taylor was a woman who decided to jump into Niagara Falls into a barrel.
  • She did it and survived. Furthermore, the barrel was not destroyed, which shows that it was a very well built barrel.
  • This event drew a lot of attention from the American media and many people watched Annie's jump.

In "Queen of the Falls" and "Where is Niagara falls?" we can see that the authors claim that the media attention Annie received was the result of her manager's work, but the construction of the barrel was a feat made by Annie herself.
