Huck and Jim encounter various characters along the river from "summary" of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

As me and Jim were drifting down the river on that raft, we came across all sorts of folks. Some were kind and helpful, like the Grangerfords who took us in and treated us like family. Others, like the Duke and the King, were nothing but trouble. They lied and cheated their way through life, causing chaos wherever they went. There was also the Widow Douglas, who tried to civilize me by teaching me about religion and manners. I didn't much care for all that fancy stuff, but I appreciated her kindness. Then there was Tom Sawyer, my old friend who always had a knack for getting us into mischief. He joined us on our journey and brought his own brand of excitement and danger. One of the most memorable encounters we had was with the feuding families, the Grangerfords and the Shepherdsons. Their bitter rivalry led to bloodshed and tragedy, showing me the senselessness of such hatred. Through it all, Jim remained a constant companion, offering wisdom and support when I needed it most. As we continued down the river, we met a variety of characters, each with their own story to tell. Some were funny, like the con men who tried to swindle us out of our money. Others were sad, like the runaway slave who longed for freedom. But no matter who we encountered, the river remained a source of solace and freedom for me and Jim. And as we journeyed on, I realized that it wasn't just the physical distance we were covering, but the emotional and spiritual journey we were taking together.
