【正文】 3, p265).The transparent irony discloses in Aunt Sally’s anxious question and her genuine relief that no “people” is injured. As a matter of fact, Aunt Sally is a kindhearted woman. She is very kind to Huck. When she knows Huck is an orphan, she wants to adopt him and civilizes him, although Huck es from the very low level of the society and his father is a poor but neverdowell town drunkard. Even in such a warmhearted woman’s eyes, blacks are not people. How can the other whites regard them as human beings? In Chapter 8, Miss Watson tells Widow Douglas that she is going to sell Jim down to Olearns, because she could get 800 dollars for Jim and it is such a big stack of money that she could not resist. What she says shows us the falseness of the slave owners and the deep influence of racial discrimination. We e to see the American slave owners totally neglect the human feelings of the blacks, taking them as a kind of modity for their own profits, or as a kind of tool for labor. Actually, Miss Watson is the typical example of slave owners. The worst of it is that all the white people like to connect the bad behaviors and the terrible events with the blacks. For example, the whites consider the missing of Huck having something to do with Jim, the black slave.What impresses us most is, when Jim is caught, the whites feel very angry and they even want to hang him as a warning to all the other niggers around there, so that the other niggers wouldn’t be trying to run away like him. It is very shocking that in such a “civilized” society, the lynching is so prevalent that the white people have the right to decide the blacks’ lives. In exposing the hypocrisy of the slavery, Twain demonstrates how racism distorts the oppressors. After being caught, Jim is treated badly, “they cussed Jim considerable and give him a cuff or two side the head once in a while”(2003, p339). What’s worse, Jim is chained and is only given bread and water to eat. Although everybody knows that it is Jim who has taken good care of Tom and saved Tom, the whites still treat Jim cruelly, just as treating an animal.All of these deeply show us the wide range and obstinacy of the view of racial prejudice and discrimination. From the above, Twain’s sympathy for the slaves and hatred towards the conventions in a slave society are fully expressed. Huck’s attitude to slaves As a white boy, being brought up in a country where slaveholding system is lawful, Huck is influenced by the public view of racial prejudice and discrimination. Like others, he always derides, teases and deceives the blacks. At the very beginning, putting a dead rattlesnake up on the foot of Jim’s blanket, Huck tricks Jim。 then the other brothers, on both sides, goes for one another。 other folks has their rights as well as you”(2003, p174). All of these show these socalled educated and civilized people in such a democratic society are so impassible, tiresome and vulgar. It is no others but their fatuity that has caused these terrible things happen. Money worshipIn American society, it is well known money is situated at a highest position and people exclusively concern themselves with money. Money worship severely permeates every corner of the country and bees the source of crime, degeneration and egoism. In Chapter 5, Pap, Huck’s father, who does not take care of Huck at all, tells Huck that he’d cowhide Huck till Huck is black and blue if Huck does not give some money to him. In fact, Pap could nearly beat his son to death in order to get money. Also, in Chapter 25, the duke and the king pretend to be the rich dead man Peter’s brothers and take advantage from Peter’s death to get money. Therefore, the king pretends to be a deaf and expresses his sadness with his body language while the duke pretends to the other brother of Peter. In order to get money, the two swindlers make many bad lies and hurt the innocent people. There is no doubt that the three poor girls of the Wilks are the most miserable ones. Therefore, the conning of the Wilks daughters is the cruelest fraud pulled off by the Duke and Dauphin. In order to gain the trust from Mary Jane and other people in the town, the two swindlers cry so sadly in the mourning hall that everyone believes that they are the relatives of the Wilks. “When they got there they bent over and looked in the coffin, and took one sight, and then they bust out acrying so you could’a’ heard them to Orleans, most” (2003, p197). And “and then for three minutes, or maybe four, I never see two men leak the way they done” (2003, p197). These words convey directly that these two swindlers are so sick and disgusted just because of money.It is very sarcastic that there is a sharp contrast between Huck’s innocent child world and the American society. Huck regards money as rubbish. He asks Judge Thatcher to take all his money and he steals the 6,000 dollars from the two swindlers to return them to Mary Jane. There is no doubt that Huck’s behavior is powerful challenge to money worship.3. ConclusionThe greater part of America’s literary realism is limited to optimistic treatment of the surface of life. Yet the great America’s realist, Mark Twain moves well beyond a surface portrayal of the 19th century America. Twain describes the breadth of American experience as no one has ever done before and he created The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a masterpiece of American realism that proves to be one of the great books of world literature.The realism of Huckleberry Finn is disclosed alternately by the thread of Huck’s consciousness, not yet e to full awareness of how fully implicated in events it is, and by the palpable events and seem randomly strung upon it, namely, by the narrative itself (Quirk Tom,2000). Using his own principles for realistic writing, through Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain reveals the ugly realities of American civilized society, such as the brutality and poverty of life a
