She is used to relying on her father’s direc ...

... He disbelieves what societal beliefs have been ingrained in his mind since his birth, which is shown by his close friendship with Jim, a runaway slave.

Although "the river allows [them] some measure of freedom at once, the moment they set foot on Jackson's Island or the raft," as Marx says, and although "only on the raft do they have a chance to practice that idea of brotherhood to which they are so devoted," (342) this freedom is very limit ...

... of her physical attributes. The Wife of Bath is gapped tooth.
"Gat-toothed was she, soothly for to saye.
Upon an amblere esily she sat" (p.91, ll. 470-471)

was a true one, he was still a marked man, and now he is only marked with a
stone that protrudes from the ground known as The Epitaph.
God is a part of life which gray dispises. He goes against the
