I saw the Solomon piece more showing how society can effect the way that we interpret different circumstances. Sloan states that "white oppression, not Jim's foolishness, prevents the runaway slave from imagining that anything approximating justice might prevail in a court of law" (Sloan 2). It is impossible for Jim to conceive that Solomon's solution could actaully bring about justice because, as a black person, he has never experienced any type of justice or fairness. Huck on the other hand has always been saved by the law and given chance after chance. Huck's inability to see to reality blacks face from racism shows just how torn he between what society is telling him and what he feels his heart. If Huck truly believed that blacks were ment to be treated as property as Jim compares a baby (a human being) to a dollar bill, he wouldn't have the stuggle to see why Jim was so persistent in his arguement that you can't just go chopping things in two. While Huck thinks that Jim has missed the point of the parable, Jim says that "de real point is down furder-- it's down deeper" (Twain 78). Rather than seeing Jim as unintelligent for not being able to understand what the biblical message of the story is we see Jim as extrememly profound with the way he works his understanding of the workings of society to fit the story. Twain wanted the reader to be able to see the logic behind Jim's arguement which is why according to Sloan, Twain establishes Jim's humanity and sound judgement through numerous instances where he is right over Huck. Twain even has Huck admit that Jim has "an uncommon level head for a nigger" (Twain 93). So Huck gives up in trying to argue with Jim, which Sloan says has purposeful meaning. "Neither Jim nor Huck really understands the King Solomon passage, which seems to be Twain's intention, because the episode is not a defining ment for either character" (Sloan 4). We clearly see the Jim does not understand the original intended message of the story, but rather sees the story as a cry for equality. Huck on the other hand, with his lack of knowledge of religion, can not possibly really understand the true meaning, for he admits "Well, but he was the wisest man, anyway, because the widow she told me so, her own self" (Twain 77). Therefore the Huck's understanding (or rather lack of understanding) of the story is in contrast to Jim's stating of how society lacks justice and equility for men because Huck doesn't see that this is true. He sees justice as being served so in Huck's interpretation it can be seen that the real mother would be the people with sounds hearts (Huck) and the fraudulant mother would be society. The reason that Jim cannot see Huck's version is because he could never see a white person sacrafice "property" to safe a black.
