Huck: In the beginning of the novel when Tom Sawyer wanted to prank Jim, Huck did not want to do it
and in the end made it so Tom would only put Jim's hat on the tree branch above him instead of setting a trap. Still Huck
saw Jim as an inferior. Again Huck showed this when he pulled the prank with the snake. Huck put a dead rattlesnake in Jim's
sleeping bag forgetting that its mate would come and curl around it. It then bit Jim in the ankle. Its not that Huck did not
care at all because he did feel bad. Towards the end of the novel when the climax is reached Huck changes completely and finally
decides to treat Jim as an equal.
Jim is hiding so that the white men dont see him while Huck is keeping his cover.

Jim: From the start Jim treated Huck as a friend yet this feeling was not mutual at the beginning.
Since Jim always acted this way as well as doing numerous acts of kindness for Huck such as waiting in the swamp for Huck
during the feud. He also was willing to stand watch over Huck as he slept when they were on the raft.
Although Huck ,through most of the novel, thought Jim to be inferior he still wanted to stay with Jim. An example supporting
this was seen in how Huck went and found Jim after they were separated in the fog on the Mississippi.
