Throughout the novel Huck thought of Jim as being inferior to him. This was because society taught him to believe that
people like Jim were inferior to people like Huck. By the climax of the novel, which can be found on pages 160-162, Huck decided
that he would go against what society has told him and respects Jim, treating him as a friend and an equal.
After writing the letter to Ms. Watson Huck said : "All right, then, I'll go to hell" (pg 162) Then he tore it up which
characterized Huck as a changed person.
