I really love mark twain and have read both books multiple times and this is so true for both of his novels. Tom is so full of himself and immature. I mean HE. IS. THE. WORST. He's the 1800s version of Caillou! Huck Finn is so much more multifaceted. He actually has a personality and reasonable motivations and is such an easier character to relate to. Plus he actually seems to care for the people around him. :/

Tom is supposed to represent Romanticism, as viewed from the point of view of Mark Twain, who lived in an age of realism. Huck represents the realist. Prior to the Civil War, when times were pretty dull, people wanted to read the wild adventure stories that Tom liked; after living through the real thing, people found the adventure stories pretty silly.

Nice summary, helps make the major plot outline more clear, but the book is definitely worth reading, all of the meat is what makes mark twain such a famous author

Had a few days and a week (spring break) to read to chapter 16 l and I was sick the first two days we got the book so I was already 5 chapters behind I think I deserve to watch this video

That's crazy. What a good ending, I would've never had the patience to read that to the end.

i watched this before i started reading the book for class and this helped me understand some of the stuff, of course i actual read the book but for some of those big parts of the book this helped me review for my school final

As someone who grew up in the Northeast US, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and later Huck Finn (my dad didn’t let me read Huck until I was 11 because of the language; the only book he wouldn’t let me read) absolutely enthralled me as a child. We have our hicks (I am one) and hillbillies up here, too, but it’s different culturally because of the agriculture/industrial dichotomy of the south and north respectively. Reading those books were like a passport to a different world, even more so than Narnia, Middle Earth or Hogwarts, because Twain’s writings were so viscerally real. If you got time for it, Tom Sawyer is more of a fun tale with less high stakes

(2) : Now it's time for summary. Read summary one time (3) : Watch movie, play or animated movie based on the novel (4) : Now read summary again.
