... Bigger's self realization becomes evident. An entire period of Bigger's life, up until the murder of Mary Dalton, portrays him under a form of slavery, where the white society governs his state of being. While he worked for the Daltons, "his courage to live depended upon how successfully his fear was hidden from his consciousness"(44), and hate also builds on top of this fear. Once he is in contact with Mary, his fears and hate pour out in a rebellious act of murder, because to Bigger Mary symbolizes the white oppression. In addition, he committed the act, "because it had made him feel free for the first time in his life"(255). At last he feels he is in contro ...

... yes, pa knows, I reckon, and some of the other old people; but they don't know what the row was about in the first place."' (108) Another demonstration of satire is played in superstition. Here, Jim and Huck are very superstitious with a rattlesnake skin. Earlier in the book, Huck touches a rattlesnake skin, and Jim stops him from handling it before he gets bad luck: "And he said that handling a snake-skin was such awful bad luck that maybe we hadn't got to the end of it yet, He said he druther see the new moon over his left shoulder as much as a thousand times than take up a snake skin in his left hand."

... accounts of Mary Ingles' escape, I found that Thom's version of the event is similar in many ways to the actual account. Thom was very accurate in his description of the actual massacre that occurred at Draper's Meadow. In the account written by John Ingles, Sr., he names the people that were either taken captive of killed by the Indians. He writes that his mother and her two children, Thomas and George, his Aunt Draper, and Henry Leonard were taken prisoner by the Shawnees. John Ingles also states in his narrative that Colonel Patton, Casper Barger, his Grandmother Draper and child were killed (8). In Follow the River, Thom describes the same people either ...
