How Did Thomas Sawyer Change

Tom Sawyer and I have had many different changes throughout our lives through good and bad we have learned a lessons in our lives. According to “Stressing and complaining will change nothing. Take action, make a change, and never look back. In the novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer there has been much change not only Tom experiences but also me in my grade school year.

As Albert Einstein once remarked, “The only source of knowledge is experience”. Many characters in works of literature change significantly through suffering and overcoming. In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain and Judith Ortiz Cofer’s “Abuela Invents the Zero”, the protagonists learn valuable lessons as their life unfolds. They go through events that aid their journey to a positive transformation, and begin thinking in different ways. After confronting and enduring problems, Tom and Constancia improve as people, and realize the importance of certain personalities and actions.

In this essay it will go about the novel of Mark Twain The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The novel has been published in 1876. The first quarter of the XIX century has become the preparatory era for the half-philosophical and half-journalistic literature of sometimes humorous, sometimes instructive and moralistic writings. National characteristics of Americans with their practicality, utilitarian morality and native cheerful humor which is highly different from the sarcastic and surly British humor are vividly reflected. The whole oeuvre of the author may be characterized by the Enlightment of the XVIII century. Unfortunately, its recognition the novel received only after the death of the author and, though, it was not as popular as the other works of Mark Twain (for instance, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn), it became the classic of American literature.

Becky was completely devasted when finding out that Tom has been previously engaged to Amy Lawrence. This can be interpreted by the reader as a way to depict Becky as a soft-hearted innocent young girl who is easily heartbroken. Becky is seen as a innocent young-school girl when she blushes and becomes visibly uncomfortable when she sees what Tom wrote on the slate. When Becky finds out that Tom as dead she was crying which could mean Becky loved Tom and felt as if he was an extension of her. These examples present Becky in the stereotypical manner that applies to the woman in “The Adventures of Tom

Tom Sawyer is a book about a boy who has some crazy adventures. Tom also gets into almost of trouble through his adventures. Throughout the book tom changes and becomes a better person. This is how he changes and becomes a better person.

Tom Sawyer changes a great deal from the start of the story to the conclusion. Tom has learned many things during the story that has caused him to change. He first changed in his attitude toward Aunt Polly. At first he thought that all she does is lick him and that she hates him. He thinks he is just being looked after by her because he has nobody else and she is his mom’s sister but he is wrong. When Tom goes missing he saw how torn apart she was and how she was weeping and how upset she was to see that he had vanished. He is shocked and happily surprised to see how much she cares for him. He changes to be grateful towards her and doesn’t take her for granted like he used to. Also when Tom sees the situation Huck is in with his mom dying

As you get older, you change academically, physically and mentally. Tom Sawyer also like me, changes a vast amount throughout this book as he grows older. Throughout the novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, the main character Tom changes a lot. Much like Tom, I changed a ton during my seventh grade year.

This shows that in the beginning Tom acted as a foolish young boy. Nearing the middle of the novel, Tom still tricked Aunt Polly into thinking that he had the exact same dream of an event that went on at the house while he wasn’t there, when really Tom was there but no one nnoticed him because he was hiding. Tom even said, “I think he said he hoped I was better off where I was gone to, but if I’d been better sometimes------.” Then Aunt Polly replied, “There, d’you hear that! It was his very words!” (Twain 123). This proves that Tom isn’t maturing because he is till continuing to trick Aunt Polly to think certain things just so he gets what he wants. If he truly has grown up he wouldn’t have lied like that and would’ve had to face reprimands and the truth. Furthermore, in the beginning of the novel Tom had a relationship mishap with Becky. Tom proposed to Beck and Becky had to do things that she wasn’t fully comfortable with so she just started to cry, then Tom didn’t know what to do so she thought “she had no companions but silence and loneliness. So she sat down to cry again and upbraid herself; and by this time the scholars began to gather again, and she had to hide her griefs and still her broken heart”

There are many things that shape who a person is or who they becomes. People are affected by experience, conversations, and by tragedy. That is the case with some characters in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Little Women .Experiences shape the way a person thinks, feels, and behaves.

Speaking about Tom Sawyer here are some of his changes throughout the book. The first reason I know Tom Sawyer has changed is that in the beginning of the book he used to swear like a banshee and used to smoke. At the end of the book he can still swear and smoke, but since he joined a group he doesn’t have the desire to anymore. After a while he quit the group, but still didn’t have the desire to smoke or swear. The second reason how Tom has changed throughout

He may have taken a whipping for Becky, but that one heroic thing does not compare to the many selfish things he’s done. Tom displays his pompous nature in chapter 17, pages 110-111 when he, Huck and Joe conspire a plan to go to their own funeral. After the three boys decide to run away to become pirates, they cannot be found by the town. They think the boys have drowned in the river while going for a swim. The town drags the river, but the boys bodies still can not be found. While the town was dragging the river, the boys heard the cannon shots, and knew they were thought to be dead. He even decides to go home and leave a note for Aunt Polly telling her he is okay, but decides

The values and economic practices in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain are a reflection of American institution’s values, which have a significant impact on Tom’s actions and develop his character by not only displaying his intelligent side, but also showing how he uses economic structure to obtain wealth, which strengthens the theme of appearance vs. reality. After skipping school and tricking his aunt, Tom is assigned with the task of whitewashing a fence on Saturday as punishment. Boys walk by and try to make fun of him for having to work, but Tom makes them see it in a new light, “Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day? (Twain 21). This simple point makes the boys realize the limited supply of the job, which in

Because Tom Sawyer witnessed the murder he became quiet. He wasn't as adventurous like he used to be. Just like Tom I have changed as well.

One way that Tom passes a test to becoming an adult is by risking himself for Becky. In class the teacher, Mr. Dobbins, has a special book that he keeps locked in a box. Becky saw that he had left the box opened, then she walked over to it and grabbed hold of the book. While she was looking through it Tom came from behind her and she rushed to shut it, but accidently ripped one of the pages in the process. Then she said to Tom, ”You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Tom Sawyer; you know you're going to tell on me, and oh, what shall I do, what shall I do! I will be whipped, and I never was whipped in school.” When Mr. Dobbins found it ripped he started going around the class asking people who did it. Then he came to Becky and he said, ”Rebecca Thatcher- did you tear-no, look me in the face- did you tear this book?” But before she could answer Tom sprang up and said, “I done it!” This shows that Tom was willing to take a beating for who he loves. In a form,
