        This connects to my description of Jim on the inside because it shows his friendly, compassionate ways of helping himself and Huck get to the free states so they can both be free. It also demonstrates his physical capabilities as a human.

     This pictures illuminates my description of Jim on the outside because it shows his long body with muscular features including his arms, back, and calves. It also illustrates his unsanitary self  byshowing nothing on him but a cheap pair of pants.

      Lastly, here is a response to the ending question of the assignment. I feel that the image of Huck and Finn riding the raft, with text on the bottom, and a title on the top reading "Huckleberry Finn" (pictured above) illustrates the novel's text the best out of all the images shown in the gallery. Not only that, it illuminates the way Huck and Jim's relationship was. One way the image portrays Huck's way of being alone with Jim in the wilderness is that he standing with so much pride on the edge of the raft. This could not be more correct about the storyline because Huck constantly states his satisfaction with things in the nature. He loves the freedom to smoke, the abundance of food, and what he loves the most is the independence of it. Of course, I don't mean that he longs to be alone and by himself. What Huck truly loves the more than anything about being alone in the wilderness with Jim is that he is finally away from all authority. Subconsciously, Huck feels he can do better on his own by learning things by experience. He hated the morals, rules, and chores that Widow Douglas made him learn/do. He felt that these duties and rules were only leading him astray. He felt he could learn wrong from right much more effectively on his own. He especially hated his father. His father was surely not beneficial to even be around. The pride, contentment, satisfaction, and sense of independence that Huck has longed for for so long in his life is very well conveyed in the image. I think that Mark Twain portrays Jim as more of a character than a caricature. I think this because my definition and interpretation of a caricature is a broad image or mental picture of someone that doesn't really capture who the person actually is and what kind of person s/he is. In the story, Mark Twain gives Jim much more than just a broad picture of Jim. He illustrates Jim in the novel as a compasionate, fun-loving person who respects anybody who respects him.
