Huck's attitude towards Jim changes from him thinking that Jim is just property and an ignorant slave that is below him, to feeling that Jim is his good friend, and equal to him. Huck was raised in a society that devalued the individuality and humanity of slaves; slaves were property to be owned, who couldn't think for themselves, not actual humans with feelings and thoughts. Take for example the numerous pranks that Huck pulled on Jim--they reflect Huck's attitude towards Jim. After the incident where Jim and Huck get separated in the fog, Huck actually thinks that Jim is stupid enough to believe that none of it had happened, and that Jim had imagined it all. Jim calls him on this, chastising Huck for his lack of sensitivity.

Here he reflects his attitude that Jim is incapable of learning, using reason and logic, or making intelligent arguments.

Later though, Huck's attitude changes. As Jim and Huck experience a lot of trials together, Huck learns to respect and care for Jim as a human being, and as an equal. At the end, he even goes so far as to say about Jim, "I know'd he was white inside." This statement shows how Huck feels that Jim is, to an extent, his equal. His attitude towards Jim has changed from him feeling Jim to be below him and less of a human, to being his equal.

1) earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) the plates are called tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) they can move because earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) plates may also collide. (8) when that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) for example, the collision of the plate carrying the indian subcontinent created the himalayan mountains when it collided with the asian plate. which statement about this paragraph is accurate?
