I don't think that the author portrayed the characters because, in the film it says that "Couldn't the thread have turned black in the sun" (because Tom had played hooky with his Aunt Polly) and I searched through the book and I couldn't find that comment. Also in the film it shows Tom hiding from his Aunt behind the door because he wasn't there when everyone else was and I also didn't see that in the book . To Conclude I think that Mark Twain didn't portray the story and the film correctly because the text and the acting weren't the same.

Yes, I do think that the director accurately portrayed Aunt Polly because of the dialouge and actions she has in the video. For example, Aunt Polly kept on fussin about Tom and acted very angry towards him. Also, when Aunt Polly and Tom we're sitting at the table Aunt Polly asked him a lot of suspicious questions like "It was rather warm in school" and "Did you want to go swimming?". In addition, Aunt Polly reached out and felt the collar of Tom's shirt and said, "You're not warm now.", "If you pumped your head then you didn't have to unbutton your shirt.", and "I'm sure you play hooky at school and went swimming.". Overall, I can tell that the director portrayed Aunt Polly as being very suspicious about Tom playing hooky, like in the book, and showing that while she was mad at him , and by showing that she smacked Tom on his behind, she was still hurting on the inside. The director also showed me how he/she could capture the whole idea of what I was trying to portray of Aunt Polly. Like the director I used very similar d

I believe the director accurately portrayed Aunt Polly with her words, actions, thoughts, and appearance. For example, in the book Aunt Polly tested Tom to see if he lied about going to school and that was in the video. As well as using clothes that reflected that time period. The director also included the scene when Aunt Polly was looking at the threading when Sid pointed it out. In conclusion, the Director accurately portrayed Aunt Polly.

I think that the director did not accurately portrayed the characters because I think he did not use enough 3rd person ominous too much to help me explain more about each character. The author did portrayed the character but in my opinion not too much. The author could have portrayed the character every chance so that we can have a better understanding of the character without inferring. When aunt Polly said that I thought tom played hookey and she thought she was correct, we could have seen more action to understand how each character feels deeply and why she or he is doing this. Another opera unity for the author could have use to portray the characters was when Sid said "didn't you sew his collar white? Look, it's black! We had to infer what Sid wanted to do. We could infer that he wanted tom to get caught and get in trouble, or he wanted to tell aunt Polly the truth.in the movie, it said some of the things the book didn't have and vise Versa, I thought the book had better portrayed the characters more than the movie.

The director and narrator Portray the same point of view about Tom. In the book it says Toms hair was damp and his collar was undone. In the video Toms hair was also wet and his collar was undone. In the book when Aunt Polly asked Tom why his hair was wet he responded "some of us pumped on our heads - mines damp yet , see . In the video when Aunt Polly asked why his hair was wet he gave a similar response to the one in the book. Tom responded " some of us stuck our heads under the pump , see mines is damp."

I think that the director did not accurately portrayed Aunt Polly because of her actions. For example, in the video, Aunt Polly had to feel Tom's hands to see if he washed them but in the book there is no evidence that she did that. In the video when Aunt Polly found out that Tom's shirt was in a different color thread than she sewed it with (because of Sid), she grabbed Tom by his ear and told him to go upstairs. In the book, Aunt Polly only yelled at Tom and told him to go upstairs. Lastly, in the video when Aunt Polly hits Tom, there is no evidence that Aunt Polly hits him in the book. That is why I think that the director did not accurately portray Aunt Polly.

I do not think the director accurately portrayed the characters in Twain's book. In the film, there were events that did not happen in the book. For example, Aunt Polly seems strict after being told by Sid that Tom's shirt was a different color thread. In the book, this event did not happen. Aunt Polly was looking for Tom, finding him stealing jam. In the book and the film, Tom did get into trouble but that happened in different ways. Also the director did not add any thoughts of how the characters are feeling or thinking. In the book, it seems as though Aunt Polly is struggling to take care of Tom but she is trying her best. For example, she tries to look for her nephew but isn't successful because she got fooled by him. In the film, we do not know how she is thinking or feeling. The film only shows Aunt Polly asking Tom questions, and more. This isn't showing the thoughts and feelings of the characters which does not show much 3rd person omniscient view. Twain makes sure he shows the actions, thoughts, and feelings of all characters. The director of the movie just basically shows the storyline of Tom Sawyer. That is why the director did not accurately portray the characters in Tom Sawyer.

Yes and no. i do think so becasue the aunt polly in the book says the same quotes just like in the book. another reason is thye both use the same felings and thoughts of tom. in the story h is tricky, smart, and a troublemaker, also that mans he is tricky making the boy trick aunt polly in to talk to him so tom can get by.another reason h is is smart going down the poll but end up getting in trouble.i do not hink they wer rlated bcause aunt polly wasnt as vicious as sh was in the book. this shows a whole different caracter in aunt polly and mabey ven changes th story because alot of it mattrs of aunt polly getting hurt herself hitting or slaping him. this is why i think the dirctor did and did not accurately potrey the caracters

Alyssa Bond

Yes and no, I think the director portrayed the characters from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer accurately and correctly. For example, Aunt Polly was portrayed accurately. But Tom isn't portrayed as well for instance, in the movie when Tom isn't home at the same time as his siblings. he sneaks in while his friend distracts Aunt Polly. This event didn't take place in the text. But Aunt Polly was portrayed correctly and accurately in the text Aunt Polly asks Tom, " Didn't you want to go in a-swimming, Tom?" They say the same sentence in the movie. Sid also pointed out the thread in both the movie and the book .The director also pointed out Aunt Polly's attitude, actions , dialogue , and speech.

I think the director did portray tom well. First Tom is a troublesome boy in the story along with the video. He also gets in trouble for playing hooky after school.

Yes the Tom Sawyer film did portray the same. Example is when Aunt Polly said, "warm in school ain't it". In the book Aunt Polly said it that exact way and in the movie made really connect to the book. Tom Sawyer film in both had pointed out he felt like he wasn't wet. The Tom Sawyer film really did make a good portrayal to the book so Mark train really would have said yes.

Jasmin Brisard

2014-12-03 18:51:48 UTC

I think that the director of this movie did a good job because in the book it said Tom said he was just putting his head under the pump and also in the movie it said he was just putting his head under the pump but Aunt Polly was smarter and realized that he played hooky and went swimming and his brother said he did play hooky because of the thread it was black and it was red this morning!

I think the director accurately portrayed the characters because in the video, it represents the same things that happened in the book. In the video, Tom's hair is damp like in the book. Also, Tom is a troublemaker in the book and in the video.

I think the film director and mark twain portrayed aunt polly similarly because in the book mark twain portrayed aunt polly as a caring and a reprimanding guardian by writing dialogue such as, "didn't you want to go in a-swimming?" and also "tom, it was rather warm in school wasn't it?". in the movie

Zack Kaplan

I think he was portrayed wright because they said most of the words word for word like when Aunt Polly was talking was talking about how she thought tom played hooky . Character traits of aunt in the movie and book they made her seem like the aunt who was bad and suspicious to Tom.

Kara Novobilsky

2014-12-03 18:55:44 UTC

I think that the director accurately portrayed the characters. In the book, Mark Twain gave a lot of details that show the emotions and thoughts of the characters, and those same emotions were shown in the film when the characters said their lines and showed their emotions in their faces, so that the people watching it could see what they are feeling. The feelings portrayed in the film were the same feelings as the ones in the book . For example, in the book, The narrator tells us that Tom was sneaky and played hooky instead of going to school, and in the film, he had a sneaky look on his face that showed he didn't go to school. That is why I think that the director did a good job of portraying the characters in the film.

In the movie, I think that it had a better of a portray than the book because it showed 3rd person omnectient because they portray the characters by there actions, and feeling. when sid told on tom, he "made the face". in the movie, you actually get to see the characters and you would actually see them.

2014-12-03 18:58:22 UTC

Yes and no. I do think so becasue the aunt polly in the book says the same quotes just like in the book. another reason is they both use the same felings and thoughts of tom. In the story he is tricky, smart, and a troublemaker, also that mans he is tricky making the boy trick aunt polly in to talk to him so tom can get by.Another reason he is is smart going down the poll but end up getting in trouble.I do not think they wer related because aunt polly wasnt as vicious as she was in the book. This shows a whole different character in aunt polly and mabey even changes the story because a lot of it matters of aunt polly getting hurt herself hitting or slaping him. This is why i think the dirctor did and did not accurately potrey the characters.

Shayla Thomas part 2

2014-12-03 18:58:22 UTC

Once again like the writer of the book, the director has portrayed Aunt Polly as suspicious, but the director is not 3rd person omniscient because the watchers could not look inside the actors's thoughts. The director portrayed Aunt Polly through the actor's actions and words. On the other hand, I was 3rd person omniscient because I'll be I darn used me own narrotors to portray and explains my charecters's thoughts as well as words and actions.

i do think the actors portrayed the part because they had accurate accents and tom he was sneaky because at the end he was trying to sneak out and he played hooky from school and went swimming. Also in the book he is clever and in the clip hes clever as well and he talked about his shirt and how it was sewed. So i do think that the charcters are brotrayed well.

2014-12-03 19:03:25 UTC

Yes I do think the director accuaretly portrayed the characters. For example when Tom got back from playing hookie , he lied and said he didn't and when he thought he got away with it he put a smirk on his face. Which is saying that Tom is slick. Also, when the little boy tattle-taled on Tom Aunt Polly grabed him by the ear and smaked him on the head. Tom was mad with anger and tried to escape frome his bedroom but Aunt Polly was wise really wise and caught him sneaking out smaked him on the but and he crawled back up to his room.

Lauren Eastmond

2014-12-03 19:04:55 UTC

The director and narrator both accurately portray Tom. Tom is a young troublemaker who always tries to play hooky. When Tom ditched school and went swimming he lied to his Aunt Polly and said he didn't leave school and go swimming. But just when he thought he got away with it his half brother Sid pointed out the color of his collar thread and he got punished. But

The director didn't accurately portray the characters, Aunt Polly and Tom Sawyer. In the novel, Aunt Polly seemed calmer and not that quick to become upset than in the film. Tom Sawyer wasn't portrayed well, either. Tom Sawyer did not seem as troublesome as he is in the novel. The director did not portray Aunt Polly or Tom Sawyer well.

The director made her seem really mean and that ain't right!! I should say to him/her "Was you even following the way i made my book!?!?" In my book, i ain't made Aunt Polly hit Tom. The director got that wrong!! If i was the director, i'd get 'em right!!

I agree that the characters in the movie were portrayed as Twain would want them to be, while I agree the characters were not as rich because the movie has no narrator, a big part of the novel . (as we have been talking about for days) Making the characters miss out on who and what they are supposed to be like.

*pulls down spectacles*

Well my oh my, by jingo! This here director got some explainin' to do here. Can't here directors learn the true viewpoint of my book? This film ain't right, and I'll tell you why. Well I know directors just show the storyline in their movies, but I could've seen more emotion and thoughts here and there of all my characters. Like that Aunt Polly and Tom scene, oh my, she seems so strict and uneasy. I see my Aunt Polly as a caring Auntie. I might'a seen a different viewpoint there in that ol' movie.

Well that's all I gotta say.
