WILL GIVE BRAINLIESTTT!! In adventures of huckleberry finn, how might jim's dialect affect the readers interpretation of the character?
A. It projects Jim's character as a stereotype.
B. It allows Jim's speech to be easily understood.
C. It demonstrates how Jim is well-respected by others when he speaks.
D. It reveals Jim's disbelief in legends and folklore.

Marc Twain used variation of accents and dialects to create each character on the book and distinguish them from each other. So perhaps turning Jim into a stereotype was not intentional. However, Twain himself said that Jim's butchered dialect was taken from the one the slaves used. He even went great lenghts to exagerate the mistakes and the accent.

This device, while narratively consistent, feeds the stereotype of the African Slave who does not have a correct command of the language and is often impossible to understand. In this sense, the reader migh interpret Jim as a sterotype.
