Huck and Jim's Relationship

     The relationship between Huck and Jim is like a father son relationship.

     The relationship between Jim and Huck is a good relationship.  Both Huck and Jim don't have many friends.  They become closer and closer the more they spend time with each other.  Jim tells Huck how much he means to him.  "Jim won't ever forgit you, Huck; you's de bes' fren' Jim's ever had; en you's de ONLY fren' ole Jim's got now" (Twain 125).  Jim and Huck start to grow a relationship as they are on their adventures.  Jim and Huck start to trust eachother.  

     Jim is like a father to Huck.  He worries about Huck even when he is not with him.  Huck forgot about Jim, but Jim still is concerned for him.  "Early in de mawnin' some er de niggers come along, gwyne to de fields, en dey tuk me en showed me dis place, whah de dogs can't track me on accounts o' de water, en dey brings me truck to eat every night, en tells me how you's a-gitt'n along" (156).  This shows that Jim truly cares about him.  A father is supposed to worry about their children.  Jim is showing that he is worried about Huck.
