The book shows how Huck befriends Jim regardless of his race or where he comes from. He realizes the fact that even though they might be slaves, they are still people. Hope it helps

You need to focus on how Huck's perception of Jim changes. At the start, Jim is just an ordinary person to Huck, but then Huck begins to realize that not everyone sees Jim as he does. An essay could be dived into 3 sections beginning with how Huck views Jim at the beginning, how Huck realizes that others see Jim differently, and, last, how the view of the others is in conflict with Huck's view.

Huck then faces an emotional choice--either he's wrong about Jim, or everyone else is wrong. There are some key interactions that push Huck into believing that everyone else is wrong, which should be your conclusion.

While I would agree with the previous post that "The book shows how Huck befriends Jim regardless of his race or where he comes from. He realizes the fact that even though they might be slaves, they are still people." One could add that anytime people take the time to get to know each other personally, social barriers tend to break down. Coupling the fact that Huck and Jim share the common trial of escape with their companionship only heightens a deeper appreciation for each other.

Moreover, a lot of symbolism occurs in the novel. Floating down a river in a raft requires the cooperation of two people-- one to row and one to steer, both requiring trust. The river itself can symbolize nature, and as such the river as nature denotes that nature is working against them. The river can be a symbol for an ever changing, ever moving path or the lucid social structure of everyday society. Be it then or now.
