Tom Sawyer, the main character of Mark Twain’s classic, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, is compared to Arnie, a character from the short story,

Tom Sawyer grows up in this story. At the beginning of the story he shows off a lot. He wants the

Mark Twain, credited as an eminent writer, has written a myriad of works. In one of his stories, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,” Tom is able to convince the community of boys that whitewashing his Aunt Polly’s fence was not work at all, but rather a fun task. The evidence, from both the story and video adaptation, point to the perspective that Tom’s action of influencing his friends to whitewash the fence was clever. This is because Tom profited from his friends’ work and convinced the boys that whitewashing was fun.

Reversing the roles of good and bad in the book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain inverted the concept of proper and improper. Tom and Sid, Tom and Alfred, and Injun Joe and Muff are all examples of the backwards concept of good and bad. Their appearance and reputation to different groups of people have created this upturned conception.

The novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has stirred up much controversy over such topics as racism, prejudice and gender indifference, but the brunt of the criticism has surrounded itself around the ending, most notably with the re-entry of Tom Sawyer. Some people viewed the ending as a bitter disappointment, as shared by people such as Leo Marx. The ending can also be viewed with success, as argued by such people as Lionel Trilling, T.S. Eliot, V. S. Pritchett and James M. Cox in their essays and reviews. I argue that the ending of the novel proves successful in justifying the innocence of childhood through such themes as satire and frivolous behaviour.

Even if twain is cutting in his dismissive attitude toward abstract social causes that involve hypocrisy, he sees it as an inevitable and condonable aspect of life in a community. Adults fail to follow through on their word regarding the several adventures Tom undertakes that involve his leaving the village. In running away to Jackson's Island, getting lost in the cave, and tracking down Injun Joe's treasure, Tom and his friends break serious rules, yet in each case the villagers welcome the children home again without punishing them. The adults can hardly be condemned for their hypocrisy in desiring the children's safety, which underscores Twain's belief in the ultimate goodness of community. The individual who does deserve punishment in the

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer appears in St Petersburg and at the Phelps’ farm as Huck Finn’s companion. Though Tom serves as Huck’s partner-in-crime of sorts, the two boys contrast in crucial perceptual and behavioral aspects: where Tom possesses a love for romanticism and a strict policy of adherence to societal conventions and codes, Huck possesses a skeptical sort of personality in which he tends to perceive society’s infatuations as frivolous. Tom’s presence represents an overlying trend in behavior for Mark Twain’s era wherein individuals adhere to an idealistic social code that justifies the subjugation of others for the entertainment of the privileged populus. In this regionalist critical novel, Mark Twain uses Tom Sawyer as a vehicle to reveal the dangers of an idealistic society and how idealism leads to society rationalizing its day-to-day standards; thereby, its idealism serves to hide the questionable moral behaviors prevalent in Twain’s era.

In novels, characters are written with care and a purpose with every word. These actions and words are carefully welded together to form a characters that go through development and have emerging traits. A character can be clever, athletic or mindful in social situations. For example in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, his characters are purposely written in a specific way, so that they fit into the story’s plot and insure that the readers interest is maintained. Yet when Mark Twain wrote The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Jim was not meant to be a character to catch the reader's eye. In the adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Jim is written an undynamic and flat character, who is always dependent on others.

In my visual, I have included a backdrop consisting of the town in which he resides. Within the scene, the houses and buildings are colored darker to represent the citizens’ negative feelings towards Tom. Once sold, it can be properly inferred that no one was going to “miss… Tom” (Twain 78). This disadvantage of the deceit in Pudd’nhead Wilson was that Tom’s personality developed for the worse. This is evident in him being sold down the river as his actions and personality, being driven by greed and a false lifestyle given by Roxy, tainted his reputation. His mistreatment of Chambers, his gambling, or “gaming debts,” and drinking addiction, all stemmed from being an imposter; Roxy’s deception moved Tom in the wrong direction, making him an immoral person (Twain 38). In my visual, I have included two rocks on either side of the boat that Tom is in. This represents his wrongdoings and the guilt that he carries as a result of his actions when he should have been a slave. If those rocks were removed then the boat would tip over, sink, and drown him. Despite his misconduct, Tom must live with the consequences of deceit, one of which is becoming a

On the outside Tom looks like who he pretends to be, though the reflection of his hand in the dagger reveals his palmistry and fingerprints which shows who he truly is as a person. Only Pudd’nhead Wilson is able to use the clues that the dagger unveils to identify Tom as the murderer instead of the twins. To everyone else, Tom appears innocent and no one looks into the possibility of him murdering Judge Driscoll. This is the clear case of nature versus nurture and also how it is easy for people to make assumptions about a person based on his skin color and

Sid Sawyer started out as a bright, curious, handsome young boy. But we're missing something, he also was born a snitch and a braggart. Sid was two miles deep in compliments, praises, and attention. He couldn't stand it when someone else waltzed in and ¨stole the spotlight¨. That's why he absolutely loathed his older brother, Tom Sawyer. After Injun Joe was suspected of murdering his parents, Sid promised himself that he would be the angel child, the one who always did things right, and the gift from heaven while Tom would be the troublemaker, demon child, and a mischievous adolescent. His plan was going well until Tom ran away with Joe Harper and Huckleberry Finn. Aunt Polly was so focused on the loss of Tom and Sid was left despondent and in seclusion over the lack of attention given to him. Tom continued to enchant Aunt Polly with his nonexistent death. When Tom, Huck, and Joe made a grand entrance at their own funeral, Sid was seething with anger and jealousy for his own brother. To get back at him, he tattled to Aunt Polly about the false dream Tom had. After a few days, everything was back the normal. But Sid was still upset, and he decided to help Injun Joe. He came up with a plan hoping to leave Tom in a wretched state and in turmoil. He leisurely carried it out, but his idea failed spectacularly when Injun Joe died and he couldn't disguise himself as Injun Joe’s ally anymore.

In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain the character Huckleberry Finn shows neglect, the parents in town despise him, and all the children admire him. Huck Finn shows neglect by the way he physically looks. The clothes that he wears are the clothes of a grown man, as a result they are baggy and torn from being over-worn. This is because his father does not care for him or buy him the correct size clothing. The parents that live in the town despise Huck because they view him as being a potential bad influence on their children. They forbid their children from being around him or playing with him. Huck’s father is a drunkard and the adults in the town are aware of this, so they do not want their kids around Huck. They fear that his father’s

Some people admire money and famous people, but from the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn it's the complete opposite. Jim the slave who is trying to be free and get his family back or huck the white kid who doesn't know he's helping a slave escape but then finds out later on in the story that jim is a runaway slave. Jim is more admirable than Huck Finn because he's brave, honest and caring. The difference between them is one is a slave trying to get his freedom and his family back, and the other is just a male looking for an adventure.

This was the case for the therapist, Dr. Throne, “Three hundred pounds of Texas chili, cornbread and Lone Star beer, finished off with big black cowboy boots and a little string tie around his neck,” (Bloom, 2006. P. 161). People in reality are complex and cannot be all good or all bad. The author also used flaws, and intricate details to make the characters, more relatable. People have flaws and insecurities, it makes people feel less alone when they read about flaws in a character.

“It was seven o’clock when we got into the coupe with Gatsby and started for Long Island.” Gatsby and Tom raced to Long Island in separate cars. Gatsby and Daisy were in one car and Jordan, Nick and Tom were in the other.
