A. It projects Jim's character as a stereotype.

Jim's character is developed as the stereotype of an African American slave. He speaks improper English and is not literate. Jim's speech is not easily understood by many readers due to it's lack of proper English. His dialect does not show that he is respected by others. His speech does not make him respected by others because it shows his lack of education. Jim's speech does show he believes in legends and folklore.
