pg 75 Mark Twain "I'm unfavorable to killin' a man as long as you can git aroun' it; it ain't good morals". These are two murderers talking about morals. This makes no sense, there talking about how to kill a man as its wrong to kill him with a gun but ok to drown a man.

pg86 "well, den! Dad blame it, why doan' he talk like a man? You answer me dat!" This was Jim and they where arguing why a French person doesn't speak English. This show the simplicity of Jim and how he is more like a child mentally than a man. Showing the gap of education between the blacks and whites in the South.
