Adventures of Huck Finn
1. In the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck Finn was the main character. The story was told through his eyes, and most of the events that took place happened around him. But some of these events would not have happened without other main characters as well, like Jim, Tom Sawyer, the King, or the Duke. Huck's personality at the start of the novel had changed gradually throughout the novel and until the end. At first, Miss Watson tried to make him pray for things but Huck did not believe in praying because it brought him bad luck. Later in the novel, Huck tries to pray for forgiveness and wants to erase his sin for stealing a nigger. After he prays, he feels he can pray openly now and will not sin anymore (CH. 31). Huck was also superstitious and believed that everything that went wrong was because of certain things he did, like the snake in Jim's blanket. And everything was blamed on the bad luck Huck and Jim had. Huck also became kind, especially after the quarrel with his father, pap. He learned that in order to get along with people (like the king and duke), you have to let them have their way, and Huck did.
Pap was one of the major reasons Huck had ran away, mainly because pap was very aggressive. So she was caring enough to help him on his travel and was generous in letting Huck stay there until he left for Goshen. This was the house with Buck and his family. But Huck begins to become dissatisfied with this life and Huck soon realizes that he will have to escape from the cabin if he wishes to remain alive. In chapter 17, Huck finds a farm in "Arkansaw" and the family living there gladly accepted him. Jim allows Huck freedom, but he does it in a loving, rather than an uncaring, fashion. Here, Huck enjoys the freedom that he had prior to the beginning of the book. Thus, the point of view was the 1st person because Huck had narrated the story while being a character in the novel. When asking the duke where Jim was, Huck says on page 208, "'Sold him' I says, and begun to cry; 'why he was my nigger, and that was my money. She caught on to Huck's lie very easily but knew he was a hurt little boy that needed some direction. The first encounter that Huck had with his fake identity was with a woman named Judith. He was the one who came up with all the solutions for things, which eventually made more of a disaster. This gives the duke and the king a great idea to change their identity to a relative of Mr. '" Jim was important to Huck because he knew all kinds of signs about the future, people's personalities, and weather forecasting.
