Comments and Response:
Expanding upon what I said earlier about Jim the slave, it is still hard to read his lines in the story. When reading them I am not exactly sure how the words that Jim says are pronounced. I have found, however, that reading the words out loud helps me understand it better but there are still parts that do not make sense. Mark Twain went such a long way to make the character of Jim seem unintelligent that it is hard to read, I must say that he was a dedicated writer to do all that even though it makes it hard for me to read it.
