Chapter 27-34

In my opinion, Jim is a flat character because throughout the novel he has remained the same; whereas Huck is a round character because he has changed psychologically. Huck thinks differently than he did at the beginning of the novel. He has adapted to a different life, life in the wilderness; and he has changed due to the people he is and was with like Widow Douglas, pap, the king, the duke, and Jim. I think that the reason that Huck changed and Jim didn't is because Huck is still young and naive. He learns from other people and that is how he is discovering himself as a person. In the beginning of the novel, Huck followed Widow Douglas's teachings; and then when he went with pap, he changed and adapted to that way of life. He became more like his father until he ranaway. Then he learned to become a more independent person.
Jim has remained the same. His main values are still family and friends, that is why he ranaway in the first place; he didn't want to be separated from his wife and two children. Now when he becomes free, he wants to earn enough money so he can buy his wife and then work to buy his two children. Along with values, he also still has the same opinions unlike Huck. Jim is stubborn and couldn't be talked out of the way he thought, whereas Huck is more easily swayed to doing something or thinking differently.
