“And there’s Jim chained by one leg, with a ten-foot chain, to the leg of his bed: why all you got to do is to lift up the bedstead and slip off the chain.”

“What do we want of a saw?”
“What do we want of a saw? Hain’t we got to saw the leg of Jim’s bed off, so as to get the chain loose?”
“Why you just said a body could lift up the bedstead and slip the chain off.”
“Well, if that ain’t just like you, Huck Finn. You can get up the infant-schooliest ways of goin at a thing. Why, hain’t you read any books at all?

I says:
“What do we want of a moat when we’re going to snake him out from under the cabin?”
But he never heard me. He had forgot me and everything else. He had his chin in his hand, thinking. Pretty soon he sighs and shakes his head; then sighs again, and says:
“No, it wouldn’t do—there ain’t necessity enough for it.”
“For what?” I says.
“Why to saw Jim’s leg off,” he says.
“Good land!” I says: “why, there ain’t no necessity for it. And what would you want to saw his leg off for, anyway?”

Although they are friends, Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer display different character traits and responses to events and to one another’s suggested plans. State one trait of each character that is evidenced in this excerpt. Explain how differences between the two characters add to the development and resolution of the episode presented.
