The primary relationships of Huck with the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson as well as Huck with Pap and Huck with Jim are established. Throughout the novel, Huck takes on different identities to further his attempts at freedom. In this section three of these identities are seen. One is Huck, the dead boy when he “kills” himself in order to cover his escape from Pap at his cabin and the other is Sarah Mary Williams whom he disguised himself as when he attempted to get information and later George Peters emerges when Sarah is discovered to be a boy.

The first eleven chapters of Adventures establish Huck's character prior to his journey on the river with Jim. Dealing with external difficulty is easy for Huck, as he consistently adapts to his environments; however, his actions contradict his desires, revealing that Huck is conflicted.

Huck has had enough with their failed relationship, deciding he can handle such an atrocity, he decides he will run away from his monster of an alcoholic father. Pap will never be able to have a relationship with his father, because he was probably drunk, got into an argument and was shot and killed. Alcoholic parents’ actions often hinder the child’s ability to tell what is right from wrong.

This is a disturbing account of what Huck went through. Pap brought Huck out into the middle of the woods so no one can find them. He got drunk and basically went nuts. He also tries to attack Huck before he passes out again.

In the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, violence has a major impact throughout the entire story. Without the violence, the story would never have the impact that is has today on its readers. The violence in this book tells us a completely different story and allows us to understand why certain events took place. Violence led to Huck running away, him losing his money, and also his father’s death. One of the most substantial roles of violence in the book is the relationship between Huck and his father Pap.

During his journey with Jim, Huck begins to understand his own beliefs better. He comes across many people who test those beliefs and he grows internally because of it. When Huck and Jim discover The Walter Scott, a wrecked steam boat, Huck decides to go on and have an adventure. He discovers two robbers threatening to kill a third. As he?s leaving, Huck feels genuinely sorry for these robbers who are stranded on the wreck. The fact that he is able to feel badly for these terrible people shows that he is maturing. After he comes on land, Huck meets the Sheperdsons who show him the nature of human violence through their feud with the Grangerford family. Huck matures through witnessing the feud and also begins to comprehend the hypocrisy of religion:

Huck's father is absent until he finds out that Huck has found some money.  Pap is an outcast full of hate for blacks and pretty much for all of society.  Huck, as a product of his society, speaks the language of his society.  By choosing as his point-of-view a young boy from the slave south, Twain is able to present and challenge the values and assumptions of this time.  Among the assumptions and values of the time that the reader encounters in the book are the strict definitions pertaining to Huck's world and the people who inhabit it:

Huck changes through the course of the novel by joining a band, running away from his father, and makes friend with Jim a former slave in his runaway journey.

When Pap wakes with a gun pointed at his head, he confronts Huck about how the gun appeared there (40). Away from the safety of society, Huck must fabricate a lie to save his life, even though he must lie to his father. Life or death situations necessitate Huck’s lying. Before escaping from the cabin, Huck fakes his own death with pig blood, axe markings, and other signs (42-44). Huck commits an epic lie when he fakes his own death successfully; he lies to the entire town as well as to his father.

While the dogs were barking at Huck, someone looked out the window of the house. He questioned Huck and asked who he was. He told Huck that it would be alright and he was coming down. The man came down and told Huck to come slowly inside or else he would be shot. Huck then went in the house, and he saw old men and women sitting there. They searched Huck, but ultimately decided to trust him. Huck meets a boy his age, named Buck. Buck takes Huck to his room and gives him new dry clothes. He keeps asking Huck questions and not waiting for the answers. Buck also tells Huck that he should stay there forever.
