Description
Tom Sawyer, a mischievous orphan taken in by his Aunt Polly, goes through a series
of adventures involving his friends, Joe Harper and Huckleberry Finn. Tom is an
escape master, and a professional trickster. He escapes punishment many times by his
tricks. Though he is often foolish and unpredictable, he also is somewhat smart and
has a good sense of humor. When not trying to win his sweetheart, Becky Thatcher,
Tom is either getting into mischief or going on an adventure. Many times, Tom
suddenly changes from his grinning self into a fearsome pirate or Indian. His laugh
changes into a bloodcurdling yell or a barking captain's voice. Tom Sawyer's main
doings are racing bugs, impressing girls with fights and stunts in the schoolyard,
getting lost in a cave, and playing pirates on the Mississippi River. The best known
passage in the book describes how Sawyer persuades his friends to whitewash, or
paint, a long fence for him.
