text: can someone help me with one question from the book the adventures of huckleberry finn? the question i need help with is not very specific, but maybe someone can help anyways.   the question i need help with is from chapter 36 "trying to help jim", it asks:      1. what is letting on? why is it important in this chapter?  if anyone can help, i would appreciate it. thanks!   ps. i've already looked on sparknotes. this chapter is important because it shows a different side to huck, he starts to look at jim as a normal human being instead of a "nigga".  this is when he has a battle within himself, between what he was taught by the widow and what he has learned from experience during his journey.
