The story was told through Huck's eyes, and most of the "adventurous" events that took place occurred in the Old South setting. Some of these events would not have happened without the other main characters, such as Jim, Tom Sawyer, the King or the Duke. Huck's personality at the beginning of the story gradually changed throughout the novel and until the end. At first, Miss Watson tried to make him pray to add religion into Huck's life, but Huck didn't believe in prayer because it brought him bad luck. Later, Huck attempts to pray for forgiveness and wants to erase his sins for stealing a nigger. After his prayer, Huck feels that he can pray openly now and sin no more (ch. 31). Huck was very superstitious and believed that everything that went wrong was due to certain things he did, like the snake in Jim's blanket. It was all attributed to the bad luck that Huck and Jim possessed. Huck also became generous, especially after the fight with his father, Dad. Huck learned that to get along with people (like the king and the duke), you have to let them do as they want, and Huck did that. Jim, at first, was considered just an ordinary black man. Huck and Tom soon realized that he was very intelligent and had helped Huck in most of his adventures. As an African American, Jim was considered a hero by other people. For example, Huck tells the reader that blacks from all over the country came to see Jim and learned of his… middle of paper… driven to tell Mary Ann about the money in the coffin. along with the truth about how the king was not related to Peter Wilks. One of the main themes of the novel was the separation of the races. Over the course of the novel, Huck's opinion of Jim changes. At the beginning of their journey, Huck feels that he shouldn't help Jim gain his independence and almost hands him over to the slave bounties. Huck says on page 87, "I was rowing away, all sweaty to tell him; but when he says this (that Huck is his one and only friend) it seemed to take all my breath away." Huck soon realizes that he enjoys Jim's company and when the duke and king sell Jim, Huck breaks down and cries. When I ask the Duke where Jim was, Huck says on page 208, “'I sold him,' I say, and I began to cry; “because he was my nigga and that was my money. Where is it located? -- I want
