Sadly, in Puerto Rico’s history, Europeans brought Africans to be enslaved and tortured and I found myself feeling sympathy for Jim quite often. But, I was able to feel sympathy towards him because I know a lot of the things that slaves like him had to go through to be able to survive because of my history and my culture. We Puerto Ricans have a mix of a lot of races in our blood, so a lot of us try to learn as much as possible about the ones we know of. I definitely think that my upbringing, culture, and history affect the way I criticize books and other aspects in life. Every person has a different view on a same subject, like in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. There are persons that probably found interests on certain aspects of the book, but there are others that liked other aspects, we’re all different, and every critique is unique. The purpose of a critique is to find a new perspective on the matter, so we can continue to learn new aspects of the same subject, if anything, that’s what critiques like Sanford Pinsker and Tom Quirk’s taught
