Are quotes important to books? Quotes can help show what time the story occurs and what some of their beliefs are. I think the quote, "I do believe he cared just as much for his people as white folks does for their'n," is important to the story. This quote is Huck talking about how Jim seems to care for his family a lot. This quote is very important to the story.
Back when this story took place, many African Americans' were slaves who were owned by white masters. They were bought and sold like produce and were treated very poorly. African American people were considered their master's property and had little or no rights. They were considered to be less smart than white people and their feeling were disregarded.
This quote shows some of Huck's beliefs. It shows that Huck is surprised that Jim, an African American, has concern and love for his family. At first, Huck thought African Americans were different compared to white people. Now that Huck had formed a friendship with Jim, he learns that the races are more alike than different. They both love and care for their families.
Quotes are important to stories. When Huck sees similarities between Jim and white people, he is surprised. Huck then sees Jim as an equal. This quote is the turning point in where Huck treats Jim like he treats anybody.
