WhatdoyouappreciateaboutTomSawyerinthisnovel?I appreciate Tom’s courage, persistence and fraternity most during his adventure in the cave with Page. When he was facing with the pain of dark, loneliness and starving as well as the threat of fear and death, Tom wasn’t despaired to surrender to the fate. Instead, with the confidence ,he fought against the difficulties and keep comforting and encouraging Page. I admire what Tom had done, and especially he was just a kid.

WhatdoyouthinkMarkTwainwanttotellusthroughThe Adventures of Tom SawyerBy depicting the adventure story of the protagonist, the novel satirized and criticized the hypocritical society culture, insincere religious rituals and the stale school education. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer becomes one of the greatest children literature in the Golden Age of America due to its typical regional humor and impressive characters. This classical literature has a power. Although itself may be forgotten , it buries a seed of love in our heart. We must learn how to choose the valuable literatures that is best for us.
