But this article isn't about the racial controversy, it's about the other literal aspect of the book. And they are satires, they are everywhere in the novel, some things don't make sense but others have hidden meanings like foreshadowing, which turn out to be ironies and mass mentality. In this novel, by Mark Twain, a wide range of satire was used to criticize and show the common portrayal of a Southerner in this provincial environment. The depiction of a white man or child living in an era of slavery, is targeted as characters who are engaged in many ironic situations, mocking them for their oblivious and careless nature. For example, after three nights of travel, Jim and Huck are more or less close to Cairo. And they were "[willing] to sell the raft and go on a steamboat down the Ohio between the free states, and then be out of trouble." This showed significance because Huck imagines that once they get up to Ohio, everything will be fine and great. But in reality, their lives will start to get worse as soon as they set foot near that river. Another example is when Huck saw Tom get out of bed, he felt a sense of unease because Tom was babbling about how he and Huck had helped the runaway slave free himself, but he didn't know that Jim had been captured once again. But he soon found out, and suddenly flew into a rage, shouting "old Miss Watson died two months ago, and she was ashamed of having sold him down the river, and she said so!" and she released him in her will.” This is important because Huck had to go to... middle of paper ...... important because Tom's aunt thought Huck was having some kind of illness or problem, because he was dripping yellow butter.
