Ideas in the Story

      So far in the story I am interested in the way Mark Twain puts in his own ideas and beliefs into his story. They're very subtle in the way he introduces them like his own ideas with slavery with Jim the runaway slave. It shows a side to the slaves that most people in that time didn't, or wouldn't, see. He also showed religion a little differently also with Huck learning about Christianity and God. It showed how children, or people in general, might not really understand what religion means and can't understand it. This might be something that Mark dealt with as a child growing up and could be the reason he thought the way he did in his writing.
