Language and Dialect in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Mark Twain's use of language and dialect in the book "Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn" helped him to bring about the overall feel that he
conveyed throughout the book, allowing him to show Huck Finn's attitudes
and beliefs concerning the nature of education, slavery, and family values.
When the story begins, Huck is seen as a young boy who is not very
educated nor wishes to be. He does not seem to care very much for the
attention that is given to him by the Widow Douglas, who had taken him in
for her son, and her sister, Miss Watson. Huck's moral values were not only
the product of his ignorance, but there is relation seen between Huck's
attitude and the attitude of his father when Huck is confronted by him.
Huck's father is disgusted at the way that Huck seems to be becoming more
and more civilized. He states "...they say you can read and write. You
think you're better'n your father, now, don't you, because he can't?"
Perhaps this statement shows disgust in Huck through not following the
moral values of his father, or perhaps this is just merely jealousy on his
father's part. Huck's father warns Huck about going to school any more, yet
Huck goes anyway, showing great willpower in the character of Huck in that
he was gaining an education that he never really wanted in the first place,
but soon came to realize that it was something actually useful, and in the
fact that he was disobeying his father's orders.
Huck's feelings about slavery are shown when he helps Jim, Miss
Watson's slave, to escape. Huck's constant statement that "Jim talks like
he is white inside" shows that Huck was unique amongst the society in which
he lived in the fact that he saw beneath the color of a person's skin and
saw the person that was truly there. Jim seems to be the only person that
Huck can trust other than Tom Saywer, Huck's best friend. Huck Finn felt
that slavery was a cruel injustice because he had gotten to know Jim and
found out that there was more to him than just being a slave. Huck had
found that Jim was a human being just like himself.
Huck’s situation is so extreme (the mental and physical abuse from Pap) that he cannot take it anymore. He does what he thinks is best; Huck listens to heart rather than his conscience. In order to get away from Pap, Huck organizes an elaborate plan to arrange his own death and run away – both denounced by society - from the prison cell (cabin) and Pap. Huck, for the first time in his life, had felt what it is like to be free: “The sky looks ever so deep when you lay down on your back in the moonshine; I never knowed it before” (Twain 46).
The Widow Douglas and Miss Watson try to "sivilize" Huck by making him stop all of his habits such as smoking, etc. They try to reverse all of his teaching from the first twelve years of his life and force him to become their stereotypical good boy. The rest of the town also refused to view him as good and he was considered undesirable. The only time that the town's people were able to put away their views of Huck was when there was excitement to be found, like when they all crowded on the steamboat to see if the cannons could bring Huck's body to the surface. Everyone got interested in him and tried to show that they cared about him, but this is only after he is presumed dead.
Promotion is advertising to potential customers in and effort to create an awareness of your business. It is reasonable to believe that without the ability to advertise a company would have a difficult time generating new customers.
Huck would try and be a rebel because he had no male to tell him right from wrong. If Huck needed help the only real person that he could talk to would be Tom Sawyer, a very good friend also a thief, a rebel, and he lived on his own. Tom was not that great of a role model, for a young boy like Huck. His father was always away, and never there for him, and when he was around he was always drunk. It is hard enough to talk to a drunk man let alone when you have a problem and need advice. The childhood of a young boy is very crucial in what he will be like in his own life.
In the beginning of the novel, Huck tends to have an immature side to him. There are some things in the beginning that show that Huck still has a very childish side to him. "They get down on one thing when they don't know nothing about it." (Twain 2) This is showing the ignorance and stubbornness that all children experience throughout life. He thinks as if everything he does is right and everyone else is wrong. "That all comes of my being such a fool as to not remember that wherever you leave a dead snake its mate always comes there and curls around it." (Twain 40) This goes one step further. This shows Huck's Immaturity and Stupidity gone one step too far when he puts the snake in Jim's bed and he ends up getting bit by it. If Huck was more mature and less childish he wouldn't have been playing this so called joke on Jim. Huck learns that jokes have a limit to them at times and need to be thought out more clearly.
Huckleberry Finn, “Huck”, over the course of the novel, was faced with many obstacles that went into creating his moral compass. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn begins with Huck, a 12 year old boy heavily swayed by society and by Tom Sawyer, a fellow orphan. His opinions and depiction of right and wrong were so swindled to fit into society’s mold. Throughout the story Huck Finn’s moral compass undergoes a complete transformation in search of a new purpose in life. Huck was raised with very little guidance from an alcoholic father, of no mentorship. He was forced to live with Widow Douglas and with Miss Watson’s hypocritical values. Upon learning of God and Heaven from Widow Douglas, he remarks that he is unable to see the benefits of going
In the novel Huck Finn, the author repeatedly uses satire to ridicule the insanity of racial ignorance and inequity of the time period. With his masterful use of role reversal, irony, and the obvious portrayal of double standards, Twain exemplifies the injustices of different races contrasting them with example after example of counter-argument shown through the friendship and adventures of Jim and Huck together.
...ore closely related to a bildungsroman than to a simple picaresque novel. Huck shows considerable development, both morally and psychologically. Through the people he meets, he gets a taste of many spectrums of society and morals. This is the very last line of the novel: “But I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she’s going to adopt me and sivilize me and I can’t stand it. I been there before.” (AHF, 220). The last line clearly shows he is not the same little boy that he was at the beginning of the book. Because he has been there before, he is no longer ignorant of “there”. By choosing to make his own choices, Huck makes a steady path towards maturity not only of his morals, but of himself as well.
In a 1994 report it stated that about 100 Miami officer out of 1,046 officers where either being investigated for corrupt actions or have been before, but it stated to be more than 100 almost 200 (McCafferty & McCafferty, 1998). In New Orleans, the U.S district attorney stated that there were about ten to fifteen percent of officers in the department that corrupted in 1995. It is hard to get statistics for corruption in police administration because of the effort to try to not reveal serious corruption in law enforcement. Like departments may try to avoid the news, so these stories won’t be headlining (McCafferty & McCafferty, 1998). By this happening it can send a message out that police corruption will be tolerated in our society and that is not so. There are many reason for this because the administration do not won’t to lose trust with the public. The public and police relationship is key to police work and is very helpful. Polls was taken in 2011 that resulted in that 56% of the population say that the police have a high or very high ethical standards (Martin, 2011). Where nurses has 84% in compared to that of the police. Corruption is everywhere and not only inside the police there are other professions that corruption as well, but when people usually about an organization or someone corrupt the police pops up. Police misconduct has left a price ticket such as in Philadelphia it costed then $20 million dollars
The Police in Detroit are yet another problem going downhill. The size of the police team in Detroit has been cut by about 40 percent in the last decade. In 2012 the emergency manager reported that the police department had about 2,030 employees. But city officials also stated that out of those 2,030 employees only about 33 percent was actually patrolling the city. If no officers are out controlling and making sure the city safe that just leaves room fo...
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is an immensely realistic novel, revealing how a child's morals and actions clash with those of the society around him. Twain shows realism in almost every aspect of his writing; the description of the setting, that of the characters, and even the way characters speak. Twain also satirizes many of the foundations of that society. Showing the hypocrisy of people involved in education, religion, and romanticism through absurd, yet very real examples. Most importantly, Twain shows the way Huckleberry's moral beliefs form amidst a time of uncertainty in his life.
Promotion. Finally comes promotion - informing the customer on the qualities and advantages of the product so that the potential buyer learns about the product, prefers it to those of the competitors, and has an opportunity to buy it at some place.
Sales promotion is usually a short-term sales incentive that works effectively, but is subject to price sensitivity. They usually offer free delivery and transportation of products if they are ordered in a certain amount.
The biggest reasons officers are leaving is job dissatisfaction. Officers claim that the pay is too low for the economy of the area; although many of these individuals are attempting to support families on $26,000 per year, which would be fine for a single individual but not for a family. The morale of the agency is very low with little to no interaction between employees during off-time and no competition between shifts or divisions. Community satisfaction with the police department is
