Once Huck entered the woman's home, the two started up a conversation on who it was that murdered Huck. She said she heard that it was a slave named Jim that left the same night Huck as killed. After a while she asked again what Huck's name was, he quickly answered his name was Mary even though he first said it was Sarah. As I began to read on it was apparent that the woman was onto him and soon asked for Huck's real name. Huck made up a lie about why he was really there and the woman believed this lie very easily. Why did the woman think that Huck wasn't a suspicious character? A young man out in the night in disguise seems to me to be a bit odd especially when her husband is on the hunt for Jim.
Huck finally leaves to get Jim and start down river so the men won't find him. A few days go by when they come across a wrecked boat, together they decide to venture in and collect any money they may find. He over hears two men bickering on how to murder a man without feeling so guilty. He rushes to land and tells a watchman an elaborate story to convince him to help the others. I feel as though Huck is beginning to become a little more like his friend Tom Sawyer as Huck takes on new adventures. Often Huck talks to himself and ask himself, what would Tom do?
I think it is important to really comprehend the diverse relationship between Huck and Jim, especially during the time this book takes place. As a slave, Jim is very outspoken and makes his opinion clear. On the other hand, Huck is a young white boy that could easily sell out Jim, he even is wanted for about three hundred dollar reward, not to mention there is also a reward for Huck's father.
