While Huck and Tom are sneaking away from Huck's house, they are nearly caught by Miss Watson's slave, Jim. When they are running through the garden, Huck trips and wakes up Jim, but Huck and Tom sit very still and silent so Jim will not see them. Eventually, Jim goes back to sleep and does not see Tom and Huck.
Jim is Miss Watson's household slave. Jim is very intelligent and extremely loyal, especially to Huck. Jim is away from his family and longs to be with them more than anything, but he develops a special friendship with Huck. Jim's friendship and loyalty teaches Huck that being a good human being has nothing to do with your race. Jim seems to have a lot more maturity compared to the other adults in the book. He is a selfless, practical, and real person.
Hope this helps! Good luck.
