Colorful Child’s Life Last week, I have read a very interesting book the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. This book described an American boy, Tom Sawyer’s fantastic adventure. The author of this novel is one of America famous writers, Mark Twain, who was good at writing satirical novels. Mark Twain’s composition can brought readers into a funny world by using very simple description but perfect writing skills and attractive story structures. The style of his composition is humorous but actually very sharp, which exposed the weakness of human nature and expressed his desiring for a perfect and ideal world.
Next,I will give a brief introduction about this novel. As we all know Tom Sawyer, was a brave and active boy. But he got tired of his family and his school . He was not satisfied with a hidebound life but dreamed of a free and venture life. This naughty but clever boy lost his parents since child. Thus he lived with his aunt who loved him very much. He always escaped from school, and played various games with his friends. He even fell in love with a girl and tried again and again to win her favor. One day, Tom and his friend Huck came across a murdering. An Indian Joe killed a doctor because of disagreement and imputed it to another partner Porter. The two young boys were extremely frightened and decided to keep the secret. But actually Tom was anxious all the time. After that, Tom had conflict with the girl, he leaved at home with Huck angrily and started their adventure. People in the town thought that they had died. When they held funeral for these boys, Tom and his friends appeared. Since then, Tom became hero in school.Soon, the court was about to judge that murder case. When everyone considered Porter as the murderer, Tom bravely exposed the true murderer Joe. Once time, Tom met a partner of Joe and heard that they would go to find treasure. Several days later, Tom went to a picnic with his friends. But he and the girl Becky got lost in a cave. They had suffered from hunger, thirsty, darkness and coldness for days in that cave. This time, all the town folk believed that they must have die,luckily, Tom and Becky found the
way and the treasure. he became a rich man and was popular in his town.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a clear reflection of the child's life . I have to say that clever Tom reminded me of my childhood. We always lost something as we grow up and gradually got lost in our life. A child would not tell lies to other and would speak out their feelings without hesitation, a child would care too much about other’s opinions and a child would bravely do what they wanted. Likewise, in that time, people were pretty reserve, and they did not dare to tell their own ideas, neither fight against the tradition. But Tom was brave. He challenged the tradition and never restricted himself into school,he loved adventure and different challenges.
It was Mark Twain’s humor that attracted me most.What impress me is that telling the truth .In a word, I gained much from this fantastic novel, and learned a lot from Tom Sawyer. And I believe that these harvests will have great effects on my whole life.
