Furious that his son had learned how to read and write, Pap considers that Huck wants to prove that he is smarter than his father. As a result, Huck receives several beatings and is kidnapped by Pap.

During his stay on Jackson's island, Huck learns that Jim has a lot of knowledge from observing the nature and its laws, along with tons of superstitious beliefs: "Some young birds come along... Jim said it was a sign that it was going to rain... And Jim said you mustn't count the things you are going to cook for dinner, because it would bring bad luck" (Twain, Mark) Jim proves to be compassionate, loyal and a dedicated friend.

The fact that Jim pays great attention to Huck's safety does not go unrewarded. Huck gradually develops affection for Jim after he finds that the black man is actually intelligent and honest.
These features make his worthy of everyone's respect and make the color of his skin unimportant. Similar to Jim, Huck is firm on saving his companion from potential enemies and helping him attain freedom. Moreover, Huck does not act according to the law when Jim is sold to the Phelps, but he decides to help his black friend to escape, even if he is certain that his action will send him to hell.

During the time that the two spend together, Huck realizes that Jim is different from Huck's concept of a typical black man. Huck goes as far as believing that Jim is actually white on the inside and that there is no difference between whites and blacks.
