The answer is "Oxymoron".

Oxymoron is a literary device combining words of opposite meaning that seem to exclude each other, but which, in context, reinforce expression (eg: obscure clarity, silent music)

Twain’s use of dialect in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn contributes to the realism of the story by making the settings and character more convincing  for the readers. By adding accurate social dialects into his story, Twain depicts a truthful vision of the souther society that fits the characters' backgrounds, the time period and the location. This is no exception in the case of Huck and Jim. Jim, in this novel, is a slave who is less educated than the average person; therefore, to make his character more believable to the readers, Jim's way of speaking uses slang, shortened words and improper grammar. This can be seen in phrases like "Whar is you?", "ag'in", "sumf'n", etc.

Does today's society support Kant's contention that minors are not conditioned to think for themselves?
Ivenika [448]
No, Because in today's society minors are more aggressive. They are observant and thinks rationally about what is happening around them. Most of them say that minors are just busy in front of the television screen, scrolling down on their iPhones in their facebook account or just tweeting around, and just letting their parents be the one to think for them. BUT no. Some of the minors are like that, but not all. They seem not heard socially because the public dictates that they are only minors, so they think about of other interventions for them to be heard, one of which is through the social media.
