1. Jim has a good heart in him. He is just like everybody else. He risks his own freedom to help Tom, who doesnt even care if he gets help or not. And he helps the doctor to help Tom.
2. It helps Jim so people dont treat Jim so bad as they actually should. He was the worst thing someone could be in that society and the doctor's speech put him into a much better light. The doctor kind of persuaded the people. Even though they should hate him, after the speech they dont see him as bad.
3. Tom is really proud of the bullet in his leg. It is like some kind of a proof that he was brave and it reminds him of the adventure to 'steal' Jim. He also makes a necklace out of it to show it.
4. Huck Finn gets adopted at the end of the chapter to get a better education but he cant really stand it so he runs away. That shows that he doesnt really fit into the society. He wants to be free and not a member of society. He needs adventures and his own life to live in.
5. If Huck wasnt the narrator of the book, you would get a totally different view of the book, if not a totally different book. If you had a omniscient narrator, you would have known things so much earlier, you wouldnt have had the dialect and you wouldnt have seen things from Hucks point of view. As Huck is an unreliable narrator, you sometimes get problems to understand things, because he sees things sometimes different than they are.
"Yeah, this is a bullet from when I tried to steal a runaway slave. There was four hundred bounty hunters."
