★The Adventures of Tom Sawyer


I read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer written by Mark Twain. We learned about Mark Twain and we watched Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on DVD on ALH class. I will write about the movie later.
Mark Twain's real name was Samuel Clemens and he loved adventures. His famous stories were Tom's adventures and Huck's adventures.
Huck was Tom's friend so he appeared this book many times. There were 6 adventures in it. I'm going to explain about them!

Tom's first adventure in this book was in the Graveyard. Huck invited him and they went to there at twelve o'clock. Then, three men--the doctor, Muff Potter, and Injun Joe came, so the boys hid behind some big trees.

Injun Joe and the doctor talked angrily. Then Injun Joe killed the doctor with a knife. Tom and Huck watched.
The boys decided that they never talked about the night because they were afraid of Injun Joe. However some men were doubtful of Muff Potter as a murderer. The boys felt sorry for him so Tom testified his innocence at the trial.

Second adventure was at the river. He invited Joe Harper who was sad the day because his mother was angry. Tom was sad, too, because he was turned down by Becky. The boys went across the river in the small boat with Huck. They decided staying there for a long time but they were recognized that they were dead by the men who looked for them. The boys were very sad so they went to church on Sunday.

Sunday morning, many children were at church. They talked about the three
boys. They were sad because their friends were dead. Becky was sad, too.
Suddenly, the three boys walked into the church. People were very
surprised, but they were very happy, too.

Third adventure was at the old house near Mrs. Douglas's house. He wanted to look for treasure with Huck. When they went into the bed room in the house, Injun Joe and his friend came into the kitchen. They found a big box under the floor. There was a lot of money in the box. They went to take the box to the place under the cross. The boys listened to that but they thought that Injun Joe wanted to kill them so they went home quickly.

Fourth adventure was Becky's adventure. Tom could join because he helped her before so he made up with her. The children went to the river on a big boat. They played and played there and they ecept Becky and Tom went home. They couldn't find the exit in the cave so they coudn't go out of there for three days. Becky didn't want to walk so Tom tried to find the exit hard and he did! When they went home, Becky's father thanked Tom very much.

Fifth adventure was Huck's adventure. He didn't join Becky's adventure and he watched Injun Joe's house that night. Injun Joe and his friend had the treasure box and they walked to Mrs. Douglas's house yard. Huck stayed behind some small trees and listened to them. Huck knew that they wanted to kill Mrs. Douglas so he started to run to Mr. Jones's house to help her. They could help her and Mrs. Douglas thanked Huck very much.

Final adventure was in the cave again. Tom invited Huck because Tom listened that Injun Joe talked about his treasure when he was there with Becky. He and some men watched Injun joe was dead there, too, so the cave was safe now! The boys found the treasure box under the cross mark. There was $12,000 in the box!!


It was very exciting story. You may want to go on your adventure after you read this book.
Huck was in Mrs. Douglas's house now and another story started since then!
