Huckleberry Finn Ch 16-18

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the reader can never rely on the setting remaining the same for an extended amount of time. Twain constantly changes the settings, situations, and characters involved with Huck's life. The only character that has even remotely remained in relation to Huck would be Jim, which gives the reader the implication that Jim and Huck will have a dramatic separation from each other towards the end of the novel. The reader can conclude that Huck is not an overly emotional person because he left his father, and Mrs. Watson very early in the story and has never seen them since, and does not make it clear to the reader that he misses them or even thinks about them often. But as the story continues and Jim is an every present companion to Huck, the reader can foreshadow an emotional and drastic separation between the two.
