The book is written in the genre of
adventure novel. Twain published this
story in 1876. When it came out, its
success has exceeded all expectations.
It is worth mentioning that the prototype
of the hero became a writer himself.

• The plot of the novel is everyday life of a small town of the
American South before the Civil War. The protagonist of
the work is a naughty boy Tom Sawyer and his friends:
Huckleberry Finn, beautiful Becky and terrible and cruel
Injun Joe, good-natured Aunt Polly, and many others.
• Like all boys of that age, Tom and Huck do not really want
to go to school, where severe teachers punish severely
delinquent student, because in those days physical
punishment was still permitted. Tom is a wonderful
storyteller, and he so excitedly and selflessly told lies that
even Aunt Polly believed him, not like other boys of the
same age.
• The boys are looking for adventure that are waiting for
them at every turn. Poor Aunt Polly does not have time to
follow these pranksters. They are always in motion,
always come up with some stories and get into different
situations, which are sometimes so difficult to get out of.
• I think that the main idea of the work is friendship and​​
loyalty. The author says that the main qualities of a good
man are kindness, bravery, courage, ingenuity and
determination.

favorite character!

8. YES! SHE IS BECKY!YES! SHE IS BECKY!
Becky is my favorite character
in the book, and I want to be
like her. She is smart and fair,
but at the same time, she has a
lot of dreams, and is very kind.
Tom falls in love with her at the
moment when he sees her for
the first time. She constantly
quarrels with Tom.
Tom and Becky reconciled after
Tom had saved Becky from the
punishment from the teacher
for the broken book.
One of my favorite scenes of
the book is a story about how
Tom and Becky were lost in the
cave. Tom showed himself a
real hero.
