Robin Sharma once said, “change is hard in the beginning, messy in the middle, and gorgeous at the end.” I and many other people, including Tom Sawyer, have experienced change, and it isn't always easy. Throughout the novel The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer, Tom experiences much change. Like Tom Sawyer, I have also experienced a great deal of change throughout my life. More specifically, my 7th grade year. Tom starts out in the beginning of the book as assertive. However, he grows more noble throughout the book. In the beginning of the book, he tries to obtain other people to do his work, and he blames his accidents on others. Towards the end, he actually ends up doing work for others, and taking the blame for some people. Specifically
Tom went through a drastic change: from selfish, ignorant and unpurposeful, into a man that embodies every great idea and quality that Steinbeck wanted readers to take. Casy’s brilliant views on humanity were within Tom throughout the novel; Tom just needed time to put them together.

Change Change means to make or become different. Different changes include social, emotional, and academic. Tom Sawyer was not the only one who changed throughout the book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; I’ve also changed throughout 7th grade. Tom Sawyer changed in countless ways throughout the book. One of the ways he changed was he started thinking of others before himself.

What do you think this is— Manila? You can't just walk away with $100,000 of the mob's money and expect to live happily ever after.” (Dekker 25). His life is quite messed up. He is an unsuccessful author and lives

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.
His character developed significantly as he felt, frustration, helplessness, and anger from his journey.

He may be traveling all over California, spreading the idea of every migrant uniting to topple the monster. Following his words to his mother, Tom would go wherever the migrants are, giving hope and advice to them for their souls—the Oversoul—to strengthen. His benevolence and care for them would intensify, relating to how hope would always prevail over despair and depravity, which is the message John Steinbeck was trying to make his readers grasp.

The needless limitations we may be subjected to in our lives may be uncontrollable and overpowering, but we need to be what we want to be and take the path we want to take. All those
