As I was reading Huckleberry Finn and Song of Solomon things that I had learned between the two is the racial/ cultural issues that were in place during two different time periods but both had the issues of discrimination of the black community. They had both shown me different perspective in the way that black in america for Huckleberry Finn written a couple of years after slavery had ended and then the lives of blacks nearly a century after slavery ended. The difference between the two are the amount of racism like in Huckleberry Finn there was more racism than in Song of Solomon which it seemed that there was discrimination between the classes within the black community. In Huckleberry Finn it seemed that blacks would get more inequality of treatment from the american with the use of the n word that had been used many times by the character in the book as a negative term to put down the black community. The difference between Huckleberry Finn and Song of Solomon is that in Song of Solomon it seemed as if there was less,of what I had read,of a split between black and white just what I had seen was from the hospital of not admitting black but had changed when Smith's daughter was going into labor. There was split that had seemed to be within the black community that he has seen in the first two chapters when the Dead family was going around town and seemed to discriminate blacks with the amount of money they had a the things that they could afford. For example the Dead family seemed to be in a higher class of blacks in town rather than Guitar who was in the lowest class and had struggles with poverty through his life.
