In the book Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, was a society brought up to be discriminatory against African Americans. In the society during the time of the book, the Blacks were said to be inferior to the Whites, when in reality they were; the Blacks were not schooled like the Whites because they were never given the chance to attend school. Through most of the book, Huck spent his time with a slave named Jim who helped evolve Huck character by offering friendship and challenging his morals. By the end of the book, Huck was not racist because of all the obstacles and challenges he encountered while on his journey.
In the beginning of the book, Huck's character was illiterate and spoke in slang. Usually Huck used derogatory words when speaking about Jim without thinking about his feelings because he didn't know any better. The first real time Huck's character evolved was when he tried to trick Jim into believing that he had been asleep through the fog. Jim's feelings were crushed because he couldn't believe Huck would do such an awful thing, but Huck humbled himself and apologized to Jim, which began a new start of friendship between the two. Because of Huck's thoughtful actions, the beginning of his character's evolution was well under way.
While on the open river, Huck began to look up to Jim as a fatherly figure because he never really had a loving, caring father. Huck's father didn't support Huck's needs or provide the attention Huck deserved because he was a thoughtless drunk who abused Huck. It was inevitable that Huck would eventually look up to Jim because Jim didn't pressure Huck into religion or set rules and perimeters that Huck had to abide by. .
Huck's moral dilemma to turn in Jim nearly completes the evolution of Huck's character. Huck was burdened by trying to make the decision whether to turn in Jim or to keep helping him escape. Huck's conscience wasn't clear so he tried praying to help ease his decision making, but it was no use.
