1. We learn that Jim is a good person regardless of what the society has done to him. After Tom gets shot Jim stays by his side and doens't care anymore about people seeing him. Tom and Huck helped him become free, so now Jim is returning the favor and being a good friend.
2. The doctor helps people understand that even colored skins are people. The doctor shows the angry townspeople that Jim stayed with Tom when he had the option and opportunity to leave. Jim risked not only his freedom but also his life for Tom. He proved Jim to be a good person even though hes a slave.
3. Tom's bullet is a symbol of an adventure that he has survived through. He wears the bullet and is proud of it.
4. Huck wants to see the world and have more adventure outside of the society that he believes is corrupt. It allows him to be free.
5. Having another character narrate the story would completely change the novel because no one else has a mind like Huck's and thinks like he does. It was told in a traditional way, and becuase of Huck he made it more entertaining and humerous. He's slightly unreliable because he's never too sure what exactly is going on because of his naivity and the fact that he's an adolesent. His conflict between his conscious and his actual decisions makes it easy to question his actions. Huck is a very real character, and doesn't overexaggerate things probably like Tom would.
okay!
