Tom Sawyer
by Matt Thurman

Life is a conveyor belt that never stops, and always flows with items for all maturity levels. This is exactly the case of Tom Sawyer, the main character in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The novel's point is not very distinguished, as it is very unperceivable. Though time expires in our vicinity, we still have moments of immaturity and frivolousness within our actions of all age.

Inside human nature comes many varieties of personalities and behavior. For example, Tom Sawyer has a very immature behavior compared to most children his age. By no law does it say to act in such a manner, it is simply your own choice of exactly who you desire to be. With this self-advocating comes the help of influencers; such as parents, friends, teachers, and even other family members. Even though one may truly be mature, he or she still possibly will have moments of frolicsomeness. Most children inside a church would resist all distractions while the priest is giving a sermon, or at least would leave the building to commit their intended action. Tom Sawyer would fall under the category of the minority of children. As an example, he let out an insect to meander around the chapel, which caused tremendous commotion within the environment. Immaturity sometimes becomes a great escape, yet it can cause numerous predicaments.

The point to the story is something that people often take in to consider, but the theme of the novel becomes just as essential. Romance, the mode of literature of The Adventure of Tom Sawyer, is vital to all humans, as it is what soothes our souls. The advantage to reading romantic literature is that it allows escapism to the reader. This is especially optimistic news to war veterans having a great deal of stress among themselves. As we all know, life is not Utopia, for it holds many obstacles in the way to experience. Tom, on the other hand, has no intention to being experienced, for he is innocent, and stays innocent throughout the entire novel. This is why romance takes over the mode of this book.

The novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is a reasonably simple book to read, with some sections of difficulty hither and thither. The author puts great detail into his writing, and contains an exceptional vocabulary. Mark Twain excels at impersonating characters' voices, and can even simulate entire conversations within characters inside each scene. Unfortunately, this seems to be one of the few strengths that Mark Twain contains in writing. However, his bizarre imagination helps raise his skill to be the excellent writer he is.

Life is like bird watching. You never know what's going to come, and you never know when it will happen. This falls under the category of behavior. Tom Sawyer is definitely a character of innocence and juvenile behavior. However, Tom's acting of this way allows him to be the person he really is, and unleash his inner characteristics. Acting puerile gives a romantic feel to life, therefore us humans should not scold others for doing so.
