About this lesson

• This lesson is an excerpt taken from the 2nd
  chapter of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Summary
  of this chapter Tom was punished by Aunt Polly
  to whitewash the fence. Instead of doing the job
  by himself, Tom tricked the neighborhood boys
  into completing his entire chore by pretending to
  love whitewashing and made other boys covet the
  labor. As a result, he had not only finished
  whitewashing the fence for 3 times, but also
  bankrupted the other boys. Besides, he had
  discovered a great law of human actionin order
  to make a man covet a thing, it is only necessary
  to make the thing difficult to attain.

My favourite great book is The Adventure
of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his
aunt Polly in a quiet street of St Petersburg,
Missouri. Hes a lively and clever young boy, and
he finds himself in many exciting adventures (??)
. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn
and Joe, to an island in the middle of the
Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he
goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets
lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of
gold.
57
My favourite scene in the book is when
everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to
his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time,
and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is
surprised to see him but theyre also pleased to
see him alive. Tom is the hero of the story,
but there are other important characters. Huck is
an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky
is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Toms best
friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.

The theme of the story is about
children growing up. It describes how strangers
are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it
talks about freedom, social rules and how people
are punished (??) for bad behavior.
Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a
great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876,
but its still read and loved by people all over
the world today. And although its only a story,
Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the
southern states of America in the 19th century,
so it sounds very real. Today its thought to be
one of the greatest books in American literature.
Go on read it! I know youll enjoy it, too.
