In Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck, the protagonist, Huck, is greatly influenced by four people: Widow Douglas, Tom Sawyer, Pap, Jim.

Widow Douglas influenced Huck by teaching him how to be a boy and teaching him manners. She indirectly influenced Huck by her trying to change him to quick when she first takes him in. “I got into old rags and my sugar-hogshead again”Pg.1. “I wanted to smoke but widow wouldn’t let me”Pg.2.

Tom Sawyer influenced Huck by Making him think he could do anything and making him think. Tom indirectly influenced him by making do things that they wasn’t suppose to do.

Pap influenced him by making him stick up for himself and teaching him to throw a knife. He indirectly influenced him by showing him it’s ok to leave your child and kidnap them and try and take there money.

Jim influenced him by showing him its ok to be your self and not be like everyone else. He indirectly influenced him by teaching him not to tell where Jim was because he was a run away slave.

Without these key influences in his life, Huck would be a very different person.
