He then goes upstream, and sometime later runs into his friend Jim, the widow's slave. When Pap leaves him alone, Huck escapes and makes it appear as if he has been murdered and dumped into the river. Huck then leaves, but is caught by his father, who confines him in a shack across the river. One night, when Pap goes to the widow and demands eight hundred dollars from her to keep his son, Huck overhears and decides to leave to prevent her from impoverishing herself for him. Though the widow loves Huck and he is fond of her, he finds it difficult to behave like the gentleman she wants, preferring loafing to going to school and going barefoot to wearing shoes. In the mid-eighteenth century, along the Mississippi River, young Huckleberry Finn, the son of the loutish drunk "Pap" Finn, lives with the Widow Douglas and her sister, Miss Watson.
