This is significant because it lets the reader see just how much these superstitions control the lives of the people in those days. it also lets us see that all of Jim's life he has had these things to fall back on when he cant explain something going wrong, or something he cant control.

The first part of this is based on observation that has been passed down from long before, it holds some truth to it because animals can sense changes in the weather and they do certain things because of that.

"Some young birds come along, flying a yard or two at a time and lighting. Jim said it was a sign it was going to rain. He said it was a sign when young chickens flew that way, and so he reckoned it was the same way when young birds done it. I was going to catch some of them, but Jim wouldn't let me. He said it was death. He said his father laid mighty sick once, and some of them catched a bird, and his old granny said his father would die, and he did (Twain)."

This develops Huck's character into one that has no problem doing things that are wrong so long as they don't contradict anything hes determined for himself. It also shows that his character doesn't ask questions about the things hes taught, he doesn't want to know why or anything deep, he would prefer no rules at all.

Twain is satirizing how twisted the views of the people are, Sunday is sacred because they have been taught that but every other day doesn't matter because those days have nothing to do with god. Twain is showing how people have the mindset of do anything you want till Sunday and on that day only you must be good, people either don't know the doctrine or they just don't care.

Huck decides that because getting into providence is to complicated and there is no set proof for it he wont even try to get in. this sets his character to be one who takes no stock in hoping for good to come around.

"Sometimes the widow would take me to one side and talk about Providence in a way to make a body's mouth water; but maybe next day Miss Watson would take hold and knock it all down again. I judged I could see two Providences , and a poor chap could stand considerable show with the widow's Providence, but if miss Watson's got him there warn't no help for him anymore (Twain)."

Mark Twain satirizes religion when he talks about the way Mrs. Watson and the widow talk about heaven. The women’s opinions on heaven, how to get in and what it’s like differ so much that Huck determines there must be two.
