    One time, Pap locked Huck in the cabin and “was gone three days” (35). It is evident Pap Finn does not care about Huck’s well-being; when Pap could be spending time with his son, he is always too busy drinking or trying to get the money from Judge Thatcher. Unlike Pap, who willingly ignores his son for days at a time, Jim tries to stay near Huck at all times and worries when they become separated. When Huck and Jim reunite on the river, Jim says to Huck, “Goodness gracious, is dat you, Huck? En you ain’ dead…it’s too good to be true” (94). Jim’s reaction is so important because it shows that Jim cares about Huck more than anyone else, especially Pap. If Huck had been raised by a father who cared about him, Jim’s reaction and the friendship that Huck developed with Jim would be less meaningful. By creating such a strong contrast between Pap and Jim’s opinion of Huckleberry, Mark Twain is able to create a stronger bond between Huck and Jim than he could without the neglectful behavior of…

    Huck seemed content with his decision to write the letter to Miss Watson that was to inform where Jim was, but the more he thought about all the good times and good deeds that Jim was involved in the harder it was to think that writing the letter was the right thing to do. he also believed that in doing it, he would rid himself of the sin he thought he had committed in helping Jim escape. Huck’s long contemplation of what was the right thing to do shows just how much thought he puts into what he is doing and the maturity that goes into it along with the good morality of what the right decisions…

His thoughts about his actions are also seen in what he hides from Huck, “‘He [Pap] ain’t a comin’ back no mo’, Huck.’...‘Nemmine why, Huck -- but he ain’t comin’ back no mo’.’ But I kept at him; so at last he says: ‘Doan’ you ‘member de house dat was float’n down de river, en dey wuz a man in dah, kivered up… well, den you k’n git yo’ money when you wants it; kase dat wuz him’” (Twain 338).

    The passage ends with Huck saying that "I wouldn't done that one if I'd a known it would make him feel that way". Huck felt remorse for his actions, that he treated Jim like less than a man.

    Subsequently, Huck helps others, gaining experience. Huck says, “At last I struck the time I saved him by telling the men we had smallpox aboard, and he was so grateful; and said I was the best friend old Jim ever had in the world (Twain 228).” Huck risked quite a bit when he helped Jim, especially helping an escaped slave.
