How does Huck start treating Jim now? Why?
I think Huck treats Jim a little different than he did earlier in the book. It was said that Huck thinks of Jim as a white person inside. Also in these chapters, Huck and Tom start making Jim do stupid things so Jim can escape. Huck agrees with Tom's idea that they should cut off Jim's leg to get him off of the chains( But they don't). The reason they want to do these things is because Tom thinks that Jim should be saved like people in stories were. Huck basically follows Tom's instructions on things they should do to save Jim.

Good blog Jamar but you didn't directly answer the question. I agree with a lot of it. You mentioned that Huck just goes along with Tom about how to save Jim, which is true but you don't say how he treats him while this is going on. You could've gone on to say about how while this is occuring, Huck starts treating Jim like a slave again. Huck and Tom both order him around and make him do all those stupid tasks.
Cool,
Peace out
