Extract

During the 19th century, there was a great separation between the black and white populations. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain expresses first-hand experiences between the two racial groups by evaluating their relationships. Although there was a great racial atmosphere in this novel, a bond was formed between a white boy and a black gentleman. Their friendship proved that the white society's perspective towards this minority group was a misconception. Blacks are just as humane and capable as whites. Huckleberry's father, however, did not agree with that judgment.
