In the 19th chapter of the book, Huck describes the river in great detail. For example, “ ...was about knee deep, and watched the daylight come. Not a sound, anywheres-perfectly still…”(Twain 138). In addition, he uses the sense of touch and sight. Twain uses great amount of imagery to make us imagine what Huck is seeing through his eyes. Duke claims to have many practices which might mean that he isn 't really committed to one job. Dauphine claims to be the prince of France. “...didn 't take me long to make up my mind that these liars warn’t no kings nor dukes, at all, but just low-down humbugs and frauds.

In the 26th chapter of the book, Huck and the reader know that the con-characters aren 't actually the Wilks ' missing uncle.

King and Duke’s tricks are constantly portrayed as deceiving, and stay at the same level of harm to others. Their attitudes never change. They don 't to not feel guilty for their actions.

It is ironic because we, as the readers know that Huck is actually doing the right thing in freeing Jim and that slavery is a wrong act. Huck 's maturity progresses throughout the novel to this moment. At the beginning of the novel, he thought that nothing was wrong with slavery and it was okay to own slaves , but he has grown morally to oppose slavery and be willing to risk his own life for a black man who has protected him. 3.When the duke and the king sell Jim, that shows how bad they are and how they have the ability to cruelly take advantage of every situation they are in.

In addition, Huck makes the right decision to help Jim , which ultimately develops
