Mark
Twain's 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'
As the title of this book suggests, Tom
Sawyer, and the author, Mark Twain,
believed that life was a series of
adventures. The playful, occasionally
skirting the edges of malicious, sense of
fun that permeates the story is the
fictional representation of the belief
that childhood should be a care-free time.
In today's world children no longer live
this illusion, as Tom did, and can only
connect with it through such modern
character's as TV's Bart Simpson. This 6
page paper describes how both Tom and Bart
are masters at the art they ascribe to:
the prank and the hoax. Each gives the
reader, and, or, viewer, an insight into
the mind of the child, almost adolescent,
of their separate times. Bibliography
lists 9 sources.
