_i beli* that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or *n a movie a *piece is how well the reader can relate to the story. this is definitely a book *ryone can relate to.
_the adventures of tom sawyer is a literary *pieces, written in 1876 by the famous author mark twain. tom sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small town on the mississippi river called st. peter*urg. the story line is *, the book reads like a *ography or a memoir of a summer in tom sawyer's life.
_tom sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for mi*it kids such as dennis the menace, malcolm in the middle, and calvin and hobbs. what makes this story great is that tom sawyer represents *rything that is great about childhood. the book is filled with tom's adventures playing pirates and war with his friend joe harper. tom has a trusted friend, huck finn, who few of the *s approve of. the book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child. it is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. the whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood.
_the book is a little difficult to read at first. personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. other than referring to persons of african decent in derogatory terms (which i'm sure uses terms *n young children already know)， the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. i highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.
_故事的主人公汤姆是个天真、活泼而又顽皮的典型*少年。他和野孩子夏克，各干出了许多令人捧腹的妙事。像汤姆被罚粉刷围墙，竟施出诡计，不但使别的孩子心甘情愿代替他工作，还自动奉上谢礼。后来和夏克逃到荒岛去，人们以为他们淹死了，正在教堂为他们举行丧礼，而他们却躲在教堂的钟楼上偷听。这些顽皮的举动，虽然不能给我们做模范，但是，他为了正义，毅然地挺身出来作证人，拯救那无
辜
的罪犯沫夫彼得。并在顽皮之余，居然和夏克破获了一桩谋*案，成为众人钦佩的小英雄。看来，汤姆也有值得我们学习的地方。_人总是会长大的，除了个儿长高了，身子强壮了以外，人的思想也在长。你对世界的看法不同了，懂事了，不再幼稚了。不过人是要越变越好才是。千万不能像历险记里的那个心狠手辣的坏蛋卓伊一样，他坏事做尽，人见人憎。但*后他还是恶有恶报，得到了一个活活饿死在山洞里的下场。
_看完《汤姆索亚历险记》，我真羡慕汤姆能有如此有趣的经历。这本书让人看起来津津有味，甚至废寝忘食。我想，《汤姆索亚历险记》在你烦闷的时候或许能让你一笑解千愁。
