Tom Sawyer And Born Worker Character Analysis

Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is a fascinating coming of age novel about the mischievous adventures of a young boy. In the novel, we have an interesting plot with twists and turns that keep the novel moving at a good pace. These plot twists are often instances of conflict. The conflict is central to the furthering of the plot and the dynamic character development of Tom Sawyer.

Tom Sawyer can be seen as a leader when he was called up as a witness at the trial of Muff Potter. At first, Tom has some fear, but slowly as he talked, he seemed to have gained strength little by little, which came to the point where he had no fear into saying what had happened at the graveyard (near Horse William's grave to be exact). At the end, Tom did the right thing which shows great leadership. "Tom began — hesitatingly at first, but as he warmed to his subject his words flowed more and more easily... bated breath the audience hung upon his words, taking no note of time, rapt in the ghastly fascinations of the tale" (Twain, 171). This also shows an example of Tom's maturity (and leadership) when he realized that Muff Potter could be in danger, so his safety should be Tom's first priority and one way to help keep him protected (in some way) would be to stand up at the trial and say what he knows.

In the book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, By: Mark Twain, Tom is a very naughty boy who would also like to be a hero. He is a boy with great ambitions: becoming a pirate, marrying, discovering lots of treasure at a haunted house, and many more. His aunt doesn’t know where she went wrong. Throughout the book, Tom makes many risks with great consequences that are both good and bad. He does not try to hurt anybody through his decisions but wants to have people’s attention to revolve around him.

Although loved by many, Tom Sawyer is the most selfish character in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. This could be the opinion of many people if it wasn’t for adult characters such as the Duke, the Dauphin, and Pap Finn; Tom Sawyer is a young boy, therefore, his antics are seen as comical and there is less resentment towards his character. The character of Tom Sawyer is extremely egocentric and selfish because he displays blatant disregard for the practical way to make plans in life-or-death situations, doesn’t understand the gravity of murder and robbery, and he will do anything, no matter how crazy or impractical, to make himself seem like a hero.

Tom Sawyer from “The adventures of Tom Sawyer” and José from “Born Worker” share few values. Tom is more of a trickster who wants to get out of working so he tricks people into doing it for him. José on the other hand is a born worker. The two charters have a couple similarities, but their differences set them apart.

In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer the main character, Tom Sawyer and his Friend Huckleberry Finn go through a lot and the boys are similar and different in many ways. In running from Injun Joe, alone in the cave, and looking for buried treasure, these boys are two interesting characters. Although there is tons of small little details about these boys, there are three main details these boys have or don’t have in common. The differences and similarities between Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are their looks, personalities, and home life.

It can also be considered an “opposites attract” scheme by Twain. As Tom has a stable, loving family and a home to go too. While Huck who is considered an orphan (due to being the town drunks son) sleeps where he wants, eats what he wants (if he can) and is never forced to go to school or do his “duties”. Most Importantly, Huck has fended for himself for years, and because of it has developed common sense beyond his years and grounding him self in his harsh reality. This is a stark contrast to Tom Sawyer, who creates worlds in his mind and has deep imagination. Even with all these differences Tom still envies the free spirited Huck and will go to great lengths to prove himself, even if Huck sees Tom as his closest friend already.

Similarities. Differences. Arnie From Born Worker by Gary Soto and Tom From The Adventures of Tom Sawyer have both of these. Born Worker is a story about how Arnie convinces his cousin to go into business with him, but doesn't play fair. In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom manipulates the neighbourhood boys into doing his chores for him, and spends his Saturday relaxing in the sun. Tom and Arnie have similarities, but they also have differences that set them apart from one another.

Justice Smith, an actor, once said, “Stay focused and stay determined. Don’t look to anyone else to be your determination. - have self- determination. It will take you very far.” Both Tom, a character from Mark Twain’s story “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,” and Arnie, a character from Gary Soto’s story, “Born Worker” use their determination to drive themselves far in life. Although they both have great determination, they have different views on life.
