Jim's Perspective
The differences in Huck and Jim are alarmingly apparent and throughut the book I question the justness of their freindship. Just how can these two become such good freinds, when both have completely different backgrounds and an opposite set of morals. Jim representing the politically and ethically correct perspective, and Huck the backwards 19th century southern perspective. Since Jims seems more of a common sense oriented individual I believe he would have strife with the idea of serving the king and duke unconditionally, no matter their dirty personal endeavors. Huck is passive, nonsensical person who is content to support the king and duke so long as no conflict arises. Jim, if he was truly aware of who the scam artists he served so willingly, he would without hesitation commit insurrection against his oppressors. Jim has the personality of a real "man" as described by the sherriff. Hes able to give Huck constructive feedback when he disagrees with his decisions no matter his social standing. Jim is a much stronger character than Huck
