How Did Tom Sawyer Change

Tom Sawyer was an adventurous little boy who was always looking for attention. Throughout the chapters that we read I could understand that Tom had an enormous imagination and that he would do basically anything to receive some attention in return. Tom acted the way that he did so that he could receive some of the attention that he was missing with being an orphan.

Starting at the beginning of the novel, Miss Watson and the widow have custody of Huck. He praises a boy named Tom Sawyer who has decided he is going to start a gang. In order for Huck to join the gang, he has to agree to the murdering of his family if they break the rules. At this point in the book one of the boys realized that Huck did not have a real family. “They talked it over...and so I offered them Miss Watson-they could kill her.” (Twain 17-18). Here you bear witness to huck at his utmost point of immorality. A person with morals would not ever sacrifice the life of someone else just in order to be part of a gang. This is where you can consider the start of Huck’s Moral improvement.

In the prime first half of the book, the author explicates that Tom Sawyer is extremely childish and immature at numerous times throughout the inception of the novel. The readers can lucidly see this even in the first chapter, in which Tom encounters an elaborate, new boy in town and “In an instant, both boys were rolling and tumbling in the dirt, gripped together like cats. . . ” (Twain, 81). Tom also fascinates himself with unconventional things such as: “a large black beetle-pinchbug”, “dead cat”, “doorknobs”, and “a tick”. Furthermore, Tom also tends to do foolish and obviate things in attempts to achieve something and then realizes that these endeavors fail. A definite factor in the development of Tom’s mischievous nature is that his parents

In the middle of the book, Huck starts to distinguish what is the right thing to do. He starts to think if all the things he was doing before with Jim and Tom were too mean and stupid to do. One specific example is when he decides to steal the money that the king and duke have, “I got to steal that money somehow; and I got to steal it some way that they wont suspicion I done it." (Twain 133) After Huck stole the money Huck and Jim didn’t feel bad at all, and knew that they did the right thing after all. He learns that not everyone can be scammed on, that the real life is important and that you can’t do anything stupid like that. He sees eye to eye with Jim and realizes that he cant have someone taken advantage of just because of their

Huck has shown multiple times within this story that he cares about others well being more than his own like when he realized when he found jim on Jacksons island he was camping out at he realized that Jim ran away and caring slightly more for the company and to not break the disguise that he was murdered out in the woods decides to take him to one free states only when a large thick fog appears and Jim and Huck get separated and Huck plays a dirty trick on Jim he realizes that Jim actually cares about him and vice

Tom Sawyer is a book about a boy who has some crazy adventures. Tom also gets into almost of trouble through his adventures. Throughout the book tom changes and becomes a better person. This is how he changes and becomes a better person.

His initial instinct when he meets Jim, a fellow outlaw, on Jackson's Island is to promise he won't tell on him. His last temptation obviously demonstrates his understanding that through helping Jim he loses not only his standing as a citizen but more importantly his humanity. He learns to have empathy for others which leads to his inner growth. Through these trials, he begins to feel a responsibility to a larger community than ever before. Huck never surrenders to conformity and conformity never surrenders to Huck. In the end, his genuine heart doesn't threaten any institutions and he does not end up freeing Jim. I suppose Mark Twain would have been pleased with Huck's growth, but it would be far from realistic to recreate a society in which Huck would triumph over. Huck will feel freer to construct a new life with others who have also abandoned a patterned society to build from

He does not believe in religion. “Well I got a good going-over in the morning from old Miss Watson on account of my clothes; but the widow she didn’t scold, but only cleaned off the grease and clay, and looked so sorry that I thought I would behave awhile if I could.” (page 10) Huck does not genuinely care about what goes on or what he does, in fact, he didn’t care too much when people said that his father had died. He was only uncomfortable. (page 12)
