Tom Sawyer influenced Huck because he made him more courageous. He is trying to be as good as his friend Tom because he is brave and doesn’t back down on an adventure. He said to himself, tom sawyer wouldn’t back out now, and so I won’t either; I am going to see what’s going on here. (Chapter 12, page 51, paragraph,3 )

The Widow Douglas has influenced Huck in good ways. She was making him a better person, even though he doesn’t always listen to her. He says “pap always said it warnt no harm to barrow things, if you was meaning to pay them back, but the widow said it warnt anything but a soft name for stealing, and no decent boy would do it.” (Chapter 12, page 49, paragraph 3)

Pap influenced Huck in a bad way. He was never there for Huck but Huck did listen to some of the stuff that his pap said .He still might look up to his pap a little and the things he said. Huck said “Pap always said that it warnt no harm to barrow, things if your meaning to pay them back. (Chapter12, page 49, paragraph 3) Huck doesn’t want to be like his pap at all because he drinks all the time and is a jerk.

Jim influenced Huck because He is his friend and he looks up to him. They have been on the island together, and helping each other out. He says that it seems that both the widow and pap was kind of right. He said we will not barrow three things from them and wouldn’t be no harm to barrow the rest.(chapter 12, page 49, paragraph 3.
