room in bed for him” (Twain 267). This shows the poor conditions that Jim was exposed to throughout Tom’s plan. The fact the even Huck supports this sadistic plan contradicts Huck’s previous character development where he felt bad for even playing a joke on Jim. Another reversal of character progress happens when Huck says “I knowed he was white on the inside” (Twain 276).

With other movie experiences most the movies without well known actors are more likely poor films rather than good. This just evident when you…
