Is this a Satire? (From Huckleberry Finn Book)?

Question

Im having trouble figuring out what are examples of satires... one example that I found in the Huckleberry Finn book was Jim's accent. Is Jim's accent considered a satire?

Here is one of his dialogues from the book:

"Nuffin' never come of it. I couldn't manage to k'leck dat money no way; en Balum he couldn'."

Answer 1

No.  Not satire because Twain isn't attacking/funning that.  It is a style of writing that isn't very popular now called dialect.  Politically Correct has made it seem rude to try to match accents by changing spelling.

  One example that can be taken of satire in that book is the fence painting scene where the kids are conned into doing it by pretending it is a priviledge only done by careful people.  Satire of advertising and other adult behavior.

Satire is using humor to show disapproval of an action by the author.  

I would consider Jim's accent to be a form of satire, in that it exaggerates the poor language skills of a specific culture, or body of people, giving rise to humorous response, disapproval, anger, or other emotions of the reader.
