Jim (Huckleberry Finn)
Jim is one of two major fictional characters in the classic novel ''Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'' by Mark Twain. The book chronicles his and Huckleberry's raft journey down the Mississippi River in the antebellum Southern United States. Jim is an adult black slave who has fled; "Huck," a 13-year-old white boy, joins him in spite of his own conventional understanding and the law.
