      - Huck starts to see Jim as a friend, not a slave. "I see Jim before me, all the time, in the day, and in the nighttime, sometimes moonlight, sometimes storms, and we a floating along, talking., and singing, and laughing. But somehow I couldn't seem to strike no places to harden me against him, but only the other kind. I'd see him standing my watch on top of his'n, stead of calling me, so I could go on sleeping; and see him how glad he was when I come back out of the fog; and when I come to him again in the swamp, up there where the feud was; and suchlike times; and would always call me honey, and pet me, and do everything he could think of for me, and how good he always was; and at last I struck the time I saved him by telling the men we had small-pox aboard, and he was so grateful, and said I was the best friend old Jim ever had in the world, and the only one he's got now;and then I happened to look around, and see that paper." (Twain, 215)
    - - Blue, color of change essay
        
        Blue was once used to describe depression or mentioned when Holden was depressed.
        
        "I just felt blue as hell. Then something terrible happened just as I got in the park....." (Salinger, 170-173) Situation occurs when Holden drops the disc on the ground and the disc breaks. The Shirley Beans record was meant for Phoebe, but Holden shatters it by accident. This is associated with depression because he feels sad, but later on he wonders what would Phoebe would think if she knew he had pneumonia.
        
        "I started thinking how old Phoebe would feel if I got pneumonia and died. It was a childish way to think, but I couldn't stop myself. She'd feel pretty bad if something like that happened. She likes me a lot. I mean she's quite fond of me. She really is. Anyway, I couldn't get that off my mind, so finally what I figured I'd do, I figured I'd better sneak home and see her, in case I died and all." (Salinger, 173) Starts to show his care for Phoebe
        
        "It was just that she looked so damn nice, the way she kept going around and around, in her blue coat and all. God, I wish you could've been there" (Salinger, 234). Blue is being associated with a happy event, showing his change in association of color with emotions. He becomes more mature and later tells us he steps back towards the adults, showing more progress into adulthood and escape from the childlike fantasy that Holden previously wanted to be in.
