Tom Sawyer

I believe that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well the reader can relate to the story. This is definitely a book everyone can relate to. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small town on the Mississippi River called St. Petersburg. The story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyer's life. Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm in the Middle, and Calvin and Hobbs. What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. The book is filled with Tom's adventures playing pirates and war with his friend Joe Harper. Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the adults approve of. The book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child. It is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood. The book is a little difficult to read at first. Personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. Other than referring to persons of African decent in derogatory terms (which I'm sure uses terms even young children already know), the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages. 《The Adventures of Tom Sawyer》The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is American famous literary giant Mark Twain take his youth as the main subject to wrote. Tom Sawyer and his best friend, Huck Finn, tell stories, fish, and pretend to be pirates along the banks of the Mississippi River. Then they become real-life witnesses to a terrible crime! Whether Tom is running away from villains, treasure hunting, or showing off for Becky Thatcher, it's one thrilling escapade after another. Story leading Tom's naive character, is lively and the also mischievous model US youths. He and the urchin summer gram, respectively made the wonderful matter which one burst out laughing. Is punished like Tom whitewashes the fence, unexpectedly executes the clever trick, not only causes other child to be willing to replace him to work, but also automatically offers the thank-you gift. Afterwards went with Xia Ketao to the desert island, the people thought they were drown to death, the church have been holding the mourning ritual for them, but they actually hid in the0020church bell tower listen secretly. These mischievous actions, although cannot make the model to us, but, he in order to be just, resolutely boldly thrusts forward to testify the person, saves that innocent criminal froth husband Peter. And in mischievous time, has unexpectedly uncovered a pile murder document with the summer gram, becomes young hero which the numerous people admires. It seems like that, Tom also has the place which is worth us studying. Actually the child mischievous sometimes waited has happen to manifested child's innocent. This kind of child really crossed the child time very difficultly again to seek, could let us find, only had the happy recollection which a spot occasionally then could remember. I believed, even if your childhood difficult again ,you recollected also can be very happy. Who hasn't made a half silly matter in the childhood? When you more grow up, you can more think these silly matters are interesting. I said the childhood likes pot sweet wine, when separates more for a long time, tastes fragrant, is purer, more let the person aftertaste.
