IMAGE TIME...

 I think this picture exhibits the words:
   Friendly
   Careful/Caring
   Nice
Jim cares a lot about Huck and I think this picture exhibits that very well.

This picture shows the supertitious side of Jim (especially if you read the caption) that we see a lot throughtout the reading of the book. Although I do think his appearence is a little off. He looks scared though, and worried.   

This is not how I have pictured Jim in the slightest. Here he looks lazy, and not going to lie, a little creepy. I don't think Jim is like this at all. This actually quite contradicts the words I wrote above. (with the exception of  some of the physical appearance)  

LAST QUESTION:
I think way that Twain explains Jim in the text can be interpreted in different ways. But, the way that I have chosen to view it is, as a character, not so much as a caricature.  Although he may come off a tiny bit naive at times, that doesn't mean that he doesn't know what he's doing or saying. He likes to see the silver lining in things. Jim cares a lot for Huck and it shows. He just wants to be accepted and be a friend. To us, he doesn't seem like just a runaway slave anymore, he seems like Huck's friend, his partner in crime. When Huck decided to give him up as a runaway slave, it was hard for him to go through with it because at that point, he had gotten to know Jim and was fond of him. Jim is a little bit naive, but mostly just a friendly, nice, caring, and all around great guy.
