It is not until the end of the poem when he mentions himself as spectator of the murder of one slave and he “swore to wash the crime with his blood”. That means he was going to fight against slavery. That poem was written when Marti was very young and since then, he advocated for human rights. He kept his promise and fought for the freedom of his country and for slaves. However, he valued human rights not only in his country but universally.
Well, the perspective of these two authors Mark Twain who wrote “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and James Johnson who wrote “Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man” will help uncover the portrayal of a character named Jim from the story “Adventures of Huck Finn”. Mark Twain simply applied all of the characteristics of a slave to Jim to make him more realistic to the audience. The opinionated thought of a slave was that they were not smart enough to hold an intellectual conversation. A key scene of this example is when Jim and Huck are on the raft in the river. Huck began a discussion about Frenchman’s language and Jim’s response was: “Is a cat a man, Huck?” “No.” Well, den, dey ain’t no sense in a cat talkin like a man.
Mark Twain’s novel, Huckleberry Finn, is the tale of a boy from antebellum Missouri who left the comforts of civilized society and ran off with a fugitive slave to the Free States. Twain wrote this piece not long after the Civil War’s end; however he set it before the war to fully illustrate one of his major themes. The American perception of race before the War, and especially in the south, was blurred by many flawed biases. Mark Twain illustrated this theme throughout his work, with his main point being that nobody in this time and place was free from the effects of racism. Even his most sympathetic white characters found it completely natural to regard blacks differently, for the racist preconceptions were everywhere and they permeated and changed the thinking of everyone in their path.

In the beginning of the novel their relationship is EDIT but as it progresses we see Huck’s moral compass continuously change directions as he struggles with several moral dilemmas regarding his relationship with Jim. As they make the decision to take the canoe down the coast of the Mississippi river we
Huckleberry runs away on a wild adventure with his slave friend Jim, and together they run and encounter many twisted individuals on their way towards freedom, which ironically for Jim, was in the southern portion of the United States. Mark Twain etches every thought and feeling either of these individuals onto the pages of his novel like a caveman desperately trying to carve a story into a cave wall, yearning for his message to be shared with anyone out there who could possibly be listening. This message is that minorities can never truly have freedom. No matter how far Jim and Huck ran, they were eventually brought back to where they began, and forced to live their lives as they once did, because they were not the victors in the splattered battlefield of these pages, the ink running away from the bodies of the characters like blood from the losers of the battle, telling a story of how it all happened. No, Huck and Jim were the losers, minorities forced to wait until they were given the same responsibilities as the victors who were oppressing them.
He is told to sail first to the city of Fronteras, next to a lake named El Golfete, then to a river named the Río Dulce. This will get him to the Carribean Sea. Santiago’s uncle tells him to follow the North Star, and he will reach the United States, specifically the state of Florida. He is told the dangers of sailing, such as pirates, sharks, and the hot sun. I am still in slight disbelief at the fact of a twelve year old trying to accomplish these feats.
