Read the excerpt from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain then answer the question:

"Then I jumped in the canoe and dug out for our place, a mile and a half below, as hard as I could go. I landed, and slopped through the timber and up the ridge and into the cavern. There Jim laid, sound asleep on the ground. I roused him out and says: 'Git up and hump yourself, Jim! There ain't a minute to lose. They're after us!'"

In at least 150 words, explain how this excerpt signals a change in Huck's way of thinking in the story.

I believe the critical note between the two characters occurs in response to this incident. Huck has just left town and returned to where he and Jim had made camp. If you look closely at the wording, you'll see that Huck is well aware the trackers (slave hunters) are only concerned with Jim's whereabouts......... this is the moment Huck truly casts his lot in helping Jim escape rather than turn him in. There's no longer a question here, and although moral convictions will continue to plague Huck at certain times throughout the course of the novel.......... Huck means what he says when he excitedly says, "They're after us!"
