Comments and Response:
Compared to the other characters in the book Jim the slave, seems to be the less educated. His education level is shown in the way that Mark Twain wrote the way that Jim talked to the other characters. I think that this is an accurate interpretation of Jim because back when Mark Twain was alive the black community did not really have the rights to learn and become educated. Another thing to note is that the time period of this book is set back in the day and in the country where the African American would really have a lack of education.
