The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a bildungsroman which shows Huck growing and maturing as time passes by. In this book by Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn is a young boy who definitely changes over time. A single pivotal moment in Huck’s moral development is when he says sorry to Jim, a slave. The three main reasons as to why this is an important moment in the book are because Huck treats Jim as a person not property, Huck’s views are different from a regular civilized white person’s views, and are very important in Jim and Huck’s friendship. When Huck says sorry to Jim, readers learn that Huck sees Jim as a person, and not property. At the time that the book was set in, slaves were seen as property and the slaves were treated very poorly.
