The Ignorant Tom of the South.

Authors Note: Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is one of the most exciting books I have ever read.

Tom Sawyer the classic adventurous boy of Missouri was a great book to read. Especially when you would need something to do. This book brought me to think of the 1900’s. When steamboats roamed the south and there were no such thing as a car. This book is about a young boy named Tom Sawyer who lived with his aunt in their small little house. Tom, being one of adventure and fun decides he doesn’t want to go to school. He would rather find treasure and adventure with his friend Huck. This is where the story begins.

 I feel Tom can relate to anyone with a spirit of adventure. The person who he reminded me the most of would honestly be my little brother Adam. Adam loves to go outside like Tom. He too dislikes school. He will often fake being sick to avoid school. In the book Tom attempts to fake sick to avoid school. Tom fails in doing so though. Along with Tom’s adventurous side he also seems to have a curious side too. This side reminds me of Curious George. That little monkey with his companion the yellow zoo keeper. Both George and Tom want to always find out what is going on. In Tom’s case he may be a little too curious.

Being the classic that this book that Tom Sawyer is, it has won the hearts of millions with it’s simple yet exciting story. The way Tom uses his tricky ways to make people want to do his work for him makes me feel like I took some of my traits from him. We both like adventure and action. Sadly I’ve never found any treasure like him. 

Finally overall this book was definitely a great choice for anyone who likes adventurous books. They even have different levels for people to read it at. This can be very helpful to anyone just starting to read. The author Mark Twain did an amazing job on this book. I would read this book again without a second guessing.
