The name of my book is The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer, the author is Mark Twain. This book is about an orphan boy named Tom Sawyer who lives with his half-brother and Aunt Polly in the small town of St. Petersburg, on the banks of the Mississippi River. Unlike the obedient Sid, Tom is a mischievous boy who always manages to escape Aunt Polly's punishments.

Something I know about this character is that Tom is very rebellious, mischievous and is always in trouble. Tom Sawyer is a character who always has a lot of enthusiasm when he speaks, he uses his imagination a lot when he speaks and he is also very adventurous. Tom always uses his imagination and thinks he is a hero or a pirate. Tom's actions are always acts of mischief or curiosity. Tom is always seen as a very messy child, he is always dirty because he is always playing outside and with his clothes almost torn.

Tom Sawyer is a dynamic character since at the beginning of the story Tom is presented to us as a rebellious and mischievous child, but at the end of the story you can see all the change that Tom's character had since he goes from being mischievous to being a more reasonable person.

The biggest event that has happened in the story is that Tom and Huck see the death of Dr. Robinson in the cemetery, this act had a big impact on Tom because he felt guilty for never being able to tell the truth because he was afraid of Indian Joe but then he can finally overcome that fear that was an obstacle and finally decides to speak to protect Muff Potter.

What do you enjoy about your novel/book so far?

Something that really catches my attention is the type of character that is given to the character of Tom Sawyer since most stories always talk about adults or about children who are always good, what I liked about this story is that Tom Sawyer is given a much more different role than normal.

I really like the author's writing style because I like how he describes each character and how he talks in detail about the problems that happen in the story and how he describes the place where Tom lives.

The story made me feel a very strong feeling between nostalgia and happiness, the story brings me nostalgia because when I was younger in my opinion I was naughty and rebellious without caring about anything, I just wanted to play, be with friends etc, but then as I was growing up all that changed and I am not the same anymore, as for happiness the story gives me this feeling because I remember my childhood as a good stage where I was always happy

I also really like the atmosphere of the story, a typical US town with the peculiar story of Tom. I really like how the writer makes the relationship between the characters of Huck, Becky and Tom and how he links the problems with these characters. I also especially like everything that happens in the tunnel with Becky and Tom. I find this relationship very compelling.

What did you think of your novel at the end?

27luisr720 — 2025-06-27 06:24:45 UTC

The end of the story seemed very good to me because of the great change in Tom Sawyer's character and all the adventures he had with Huck and Becky. I already knew the end of the story so I didn't have many expectations. I feel satisfied with the end of the story because it seems to me that each problem ends up explained in a good way and also each adventure or thing that happened to Tom and his friends is well detailed.
