Huckleberry Finn is a dynamic character. He is dynamic because he learned to get over the prejudice ways that society has taught him. He learned to accept Jim and also created a really big bong with him. Huck realized that he cared a lot about Jim and didn't really give to much thought to it, even if people looked down upon him. He also had a moment that made him think, if what he was doing was the right thing to do. Helping a slave to freedom, is looked badly upon his society, and is basically stealing property, but at the end of the day he did not care too much about it.
Huck is also a protagonist in this story. Not only is he the main character, but he is also the narrator. Huck is the protagonist because in the entire novel, he is not only hanging out with a slave, but is also helping him to freedom. He is doing many things to help and achieve that goal. He also isn't caring what other people will think about what he is doing. This makes him the "good guy" or the "protagonist".
An example of indirect characterization for Huck Finn is the first sentence of the first chapter when he says, "You don't know about me, without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,
but that ain't no matter. This is basically the base of all of the "indirect characterizations" because this is how Huck talks. (Country, but somewhat educated.) An example of direct characterization is when Ms. Watson said, "Don't gap and stretch like that Huckleberry, why don't you try and behave?"
Jim is a dynamic character. Jim goes from being a slave to a free man. In some ways Jim is also a static character because his personality still remains the same. Lovable, caring, and intelligent. Jim worked to be a free man though. He did not just sit and wait for things to happen, he worked for his freedom. Going from a slave to a free man is a big deal, so therefore i believe that he is a dynamic character.
Jim is also a protagonist in this story. He is very nice, and caring to everybody. Especially Huck. Jim kind of plays the role of Huck's father in a way. He cooked for him, took care of him, and even taught him a few things.
An example for indirect characterization for Jim is whenever he talks because of how different it is from the other characters. For example when he says, "Den he cain''t git no situation. What he gwyne to do?" (pg.82) You can tell it's Jim due to the bad grammar, and spelling errors. An example for direct characterization is when Huck describes him as Ms. Watson's property.
