The Adventures of Tom SawyerEssay title: The Adventures of Tom SawyerThe Adventures of Tom SawyerThe main idea behind this story is just an average little schoolboy getting into loads of trouble all the time and learning things through experience. He’s not the role model little boy at all, but he’s certainly not the one everyone would pick on and such. Tom Sawyer goes out on all sorts of adventurous… adventures, some thought up through imagination and others as serious as a heart attack. Throughout this book you will notice how Tom Sawyer grow up into a more responsible person as it gets further into to the book and nearing the end. He doesn’t do the childish things he would’ve earlier and he does things for other people instead of just for himself. The setting of the story takes place in the city of St. Petersburg, Missouri, and I’m guessing the time of the story is back in the late 1800’s.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a pretty good book, especially for the big budget fantasy series like The Hobbit. It really is a good story, and I really liked it. The author is really nice as he is willing to explain some of the aspects of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer which makes it a pretty good read for its time. It is like the old days of Disney where you could get all sorts of cool books which were not made for anyone. It does take a while for people to be hooked by it (or they would go through what I mean), but it takes a bit to get used to.
I like that it gives some pretty good advice (if your trying to get your hands stuck on one of those books).
This is probably the best book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer I have read thus far in my own book review.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is basically a story about a very, very young boy and his adventures along a strange and mysterious path. From start, it is a dark adventure of adventure with a lot of danger and danger that you may not understand but you will probably enjoy.
Not like any of the more realistic fantasy (read: not real, but definitely realistic) fantasy that I have read lately has really become reality. So, don’t get too excited about it. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is going to be a good reading for kids.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer starts out in the 1800s after a very long journey back to the great outdoors where it gets into a very bad situation.
I do believe that this may have been a good place to start the tale. Yes, you can’t go wrong with one of my favorites or my best stories and I think that these two will bring some great ideas to the table. But, because this was probably my best story that I read at that time, this book is a very, very good read. It is definitely in my hands.
If you go ahead and pick up the book you will probably want to buy a copy at the bookstore or download one by clicking HERE. I like to save my money and that is something that I have for me already.
There is still a lot of time left for the book, so it may take a little while for you to get used to the book but as you start to get used to the story, you will have some interesting ideas to get into, such as the fact that this one person and his life might change forever.
This is really a story you will remember, and if you ever do forget it, don’t worry. This is NOT as bad as some of the other Fantasy and Horror novels in the series where you can get involved with characters of varying ages and genders (like the little girl in the story); or the story of the adventures that were covered in this book.
When I first saw the book I was very excited and I have to say that I love everything about The Adventures of Tom Sawyer! It makes me wonder how much I can do with what little I have left aside from The Adventures. And I do think that the story is a good one to read since the author gives you some advice from an old friend or friend of mine (his name is Tom) regarding all kinds of adventures that might not normally be available to him. His name is Tom Sawyer and he was given by a
Chapter 1At the very beginning of the book, Aunt Polly (Tom Sawyer’s aunt), is searching for him high and low. I think this is a great way to start off the book because it already shows Tom’s “criminal” personality and you can already get the feel of how Tom is. Polly ends up finding Tom eating jam out of the closet which he wasn’t supposed to be eating. Before Aunt Polly could mutilate Tom, he was able to divert her attention away from him for just a second, and that was all he needed to escape over the fence.
Tom plays hooky from school and his Aunt has a hunch that he did, so she tries to catch him. Aunt Polly “knows” that Tom played hooky and wanted him to admit it somehow. Aunt Polly thinks she has him for sure when she goes to check if his collar is sewed up, so she has Tom show her the collar. Low and behold, Tom’s collar is still sewed up and he slips away. Well, he would’ve slipped away if Sid hadn’t told Aunt Polly the flaw in Tom’s sewed collar. Earlier that day Aunt Polly had sewn the collar with white thread, and now it’s in black thread. That Tom although tricky, just isn’t tricky enough to fool everyone.
Tom, while walking down the street, finds a well-dressed boy and they sort of stare each other down. Finally after all the staring and trash talking the two go into a tussle and Tom comes out victorious. That’ll show the dumb kid who’s boss.
After the tussle Tom was in he tries to sneak in through his window that night. Sneaky as Tom is, his Aunt Polly was standing right there to catch him in his move. Aunt Polly also saw the state his clothes were in due to the fight he had earlier, so as punishment he spent Saturday working hard labor instead of playing outside with his friends.
Chapter 2Since being caught the night before, Tom had to whitewash a fence (paint at fence white). The day is a beautiful day to play, but Tom is stuck with this chore which made it even worse than it already is.
Tom tries to get Jim, who is a boy in the town, to whitewash the fence while Tom goes and fetches the water that Jim is supposed to be getting. Jim denies because the “Old missis” said that she would expect Tom to be asking Jim to whitewash the fence for him and she said to just go and tend to his own business. This just shows what kind of reputation Tom has around the town.
Tom, that sly dog Tom, starts to get other people to whitewash the fence for him. Not only is he getting them to whitewash the fence, but he’s also making profit off of it, if little tidbits of rubbish is what you call making a profit. Once one of the boys were tired another would come along and trade in to be able to whitewash the fence. Whitewashing the fence now wasn’t labor for the boys, but more of something fun to do.
A thing that hit me about the profit that Tom made was that a lot of it was just trash, but he made it seem like a treasure. He said he was rolling in wealth and it was things like marbles, a useless key, spool cannon and other sort of useless things. But as creative as Tom Sawyer is, he puts them to use for fun and finds ways to use everything, even a dead rat on a string. Now isn’t that fun?
Chapter 3Tom goes to Aunt Polly and tells her that he’s all finished with the whitewashing of the fence, and she just doesn’t believe it so she went out to see if it was done, and what do you know, it was. Not only was it just done, it was coated and recoated with a streak on the ground. So now she finally lets Tom go out and play.
When he was finally let go, he went out behind Aunt Polly’s stable then out to the town square where kids would be playing some military game. Tom was the general of one of the companies out of the two. Joe Harper was the general of the other company and Tom and him would sit together as they commanded
