Hey everyone. My five questions are:
1. Does Jim putting on 'the mask' (of a slave) show that he is becoming a slave because he puts it on or that he is independent because he chooses to put it on?
2. How does Tom represent the unreconstructed South and Huck represent the reconstructing South?
3. Do you think that Jim was merely just an optimistic runaway slave?
4. Is Twain being racist by showing that Jim left his freedom for a white boy? Does it show that Jim is becoming an Uncle Tom?
5. Do you agree or disagree that Twain's unsatisfying ending is supposed to depict a real life failed attempt to reconstruct the South? Why?
