The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer?

Question

Hi,
I Have A Really Big Project I Need To Do On The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer But I Can Read The Whole Book It 1 Week. Can Anyone Who Has Read The Book Tell Me What Its About? Please And Thank You! :]

Answer 1

"THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER" is an American literary classic which EVERY boy has read.

How could you NOT want to read that book?

If you don't read it, and the sequel, "HUCKLEBERRY FINN", you're cheating yourself and you're too dumb to know it.

I don't care about your studies in school or your homework assignment.

I just want you to read that book, because if you do not read it, you're missing one of life's wonderful treats.

Answer 2

The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer Is About A Boy. He Doesn't Know How To Write Correctly, So He Capitalizes Every Word He Writes. Some Wonder Whether He Is An Overzealous German, But We're Getting Off Topic.

He Decides One Day That He Isn't Going To Read A Book His Teacher Assigned Him. Instead, He Thinks, He'll Go And Watch The Play! And Then He'll Con His Friends Into Writing His Report For Him, While He Goes Off To Whitewash The Fences Like His Mother Asked Him To.

In The End, His Friends He Conned Did A Poor Job, The Play He Watched Instead Of The Movie Sucked, And He Got An F On His Report.

The End.

It's not banned by many libraries now, and if it is banned in your library, you should inform your Councillor that your library's board and staff are either too timid or way behind the times. They are not living up to their mandate to provide information, no matter how controversial. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn were banned from some libraries when they were first published because 1) Mark Twain wrote in the vernacular, and not in language meant to improve the speech of children; 2) Tom and Huck are not saints but average boys who were neither bad nor good. In Victorian literature, children were either sweet and good and went to heaven after they died, or they were bad and became failures in life and went to hell. 3) Tom and Huck had a black friend, Jim, who was a slave and was routinely called by a name that is objectionable to African-Americans now. When the books were first published, the objection was that Jim was portrayed as an equal to Tom and Huck - or as close to an equal as a black person could be in a society where whites were assumed to made superior by God. Today, the objection is the opprobrious "N" word. (I think that objection would have more weight if African-Americans stopped calling each other by that word. They do. I know a black man who repeatedly tells them to stop degrading themselves. I agree. If they use it out of "affection" as they say, then it's not offensive and why shouldn't I use it too? So all you guys and gals: Stop Using THAT word among yourselves or Don't prevent me from reading it in its context )

You should at least take a stab at reading it, but if you aren't able to finish it go to www.sparknotes.com to find a free study guide that breaks it down chapter-by-chapter, giving plot summaries and synopses.

Do NOT try to carry out your project by watching the movie, as someone else suggested. Movies almost NEVER stay true to the books, and your instructor will know that you didn't read the book.
