In this chapter we are introduced to a character named Buck. Buck and Huck are both around the same age and also have a similar personality. Both Buck and Huck are impatient. This is shown when Buck first meets Huck and tries to tell him a riddle about a candle. Huck did not understand the riddle, which made Buck impatient. There is another aspect of their personalities that are similar. Both like adventure in their lives.
