I think that Huck is a round character because he has undergone so many psychological changes throughout the book. I think his decision making and the way he views the world has changed. At the beginning of the book he was naive and didn't understand right from wrong. After the king and the duke, I think he realizes what you do affects other people no matter right or wrong. He even feels bad when the king and the duke take the money so he tells Mary Jane everything about them. Another example would be how Huck now has more feelings toward Jim than he had before when he just thought of him as a slave. He cares what happens to him because of all they have been through together.
I believe Jim is a flat character because we really haven't seen him change much at all. In fact the only times we do see him, he is still naive and doesn't fully understand what is going on. One example would be when he thought the king and the duke were really a king and a duke. Another time was when the slave showed Huck and Tom the runaway black person who ended up being Jim and Jim shouted out like he knew them, which wasn't a smart idea and could have got them caught. Jim has always cared for Huck, and still does after all they've been through together.
