In the beginning of the novel, Huck seemed to be a flat character. He seemed to only have one way of thinking: Adventures with Tom. He didn't seem to have much respect for black people either. However, that could have been an affect from Tom, because he didn't have much respect for them either. Once Huck left home and started his adventure with Jim, we started to see changes in his way of thinking and acting, turing him into a round character. Huck wasn't necessarily forced to help him or like Jim, but what else could he do? He was with Jim all the time, it would seem odd to not see a change in character with a constant influence like Jim. Now, Huck is desparate to help his friend get out of slavary, and with the help of Tom Sawyer, I think it can be done.
Jim on the other hand, always seemed to be a round character. Even from the get go, he was quickly adapting to the different situations he was thrown into. I think Jim always liked Huck, but after seeing the changes, he likes him even more, one of his only friends.
