Tom Sawyer

Tom Sawyer is a boy who is full of adventures. In his world there is an

adventure around every corner. Some of his adventures have lead him into some

bad situations but with his good heart and bright mind he has gotten out of them.

Tom lives with his aunt Polly, his cousin Mary and his bother Sid.

One of the first things to happen in the book is a memorable one, the

painting of the fence.. Tom’s aunt Polly made Tom paint her fence on a Saturday

as a punishment.. Tom just hated the idea of having to work on a Saturday while

all of the neighborhood could make fun of and harass him.. After Tom tried to

trade some of his possessions for a few hours of freedom he had a stroke of

genius, instead of him paying people to work for him, he made people pay him to

paint.. Tom managed this by telling people that it isn’t every day that you get

a chance to paint a fence and he thought it was fun.. He had people begging him

to paint by the time that he was finished his story. He would have taken every

boy in the town’s wealth if he had not run out of paint.

On June 17th about the hour of midnight, Tom and his best friend Huck

were out in the grave yard trying to get rid of warts, when they witnessed a

murder by Injun Joe. At the time Muff Potter was drunk and asleep so Injun Joe

blamed the murder him (Muff Potter). They knew if crazy Injun Joe found out they

knew, he would for sure kill them.. Tom wrote on a. wooden board “Huck Finn and

Tom Sawyer swear to keep mum about this and they wish they may drop down dead in

their tracks if they ever tell and rot”, then in their own blood they signed

their initials TS and HF.

A few days after that incident Tom, Huck and Joe decided to go and

become pirates because no one cared for their company anymore.. They stole some

food and supplies and then they stole a raft and paddled to an island in the

middle of the Mississippi River.. They stayed and pirated for several days, then

they all became so home sick that they could not bear it anymore.. The next day

Tom, Huck, and Joe showed up for their own funerals and there was much thanks

and praise.

The next big event in the town was the trial of Muff Potter for the

murder in the graveyard.. The whole town believed Injun Joe, and poor Muff was

sent to a temporary jail cell for a.. week.. At the end of the week he was to be

hung unless some one in court had proved him innocent. While Muff was in jail

temporarily he was not alone. Every day Tom and Huck would go and talk to him

through the jail cell bars and on occasion bring him food. On the last day of

court, to everyone’s surprise they called Tom Sawyer to the stand. Then the man

asked him where he was on the 17th of June he said “In the graveyard”.. Then

when he asked who he saw do it he said with all his courage he said “Muff didn’t

do it. It was Injun Joe!” and with that Injun Joe jumped out the window and ran

away.

Tom and Huck decided that they wanted to become rich so they went to go

and find. buried treasure.. Tom and Huck dug under trees all day and night but

found nothing, then Tom said that they should go and dig for treasure in a

haunted house.. They went back two days later and went to a haunted house.. Both

the boys were scared but they both went inside anyway.. The boys dared each

other to go upstairs, so of course they went up and looked in closets for

treasure but found nothing.. Suddenly the boys heard two men talking and then

come inside... Both of the boys got down on the floor and then they heard the

voice again, it was Injun Joe.. Injun Joe and the other man had a bag of money

and decided to bury it there.. Tom and Huck could hardly contain themselves

because they would steal it as soon as Injun Joe left.. Injun Joe was digging a

hole with his knife when he hit something, it was a box of money.. Injun Joe

decided to take all of the treasure and hide it in number two under the cross..

When Injun Joe and the other man left Tom and Huck were furious because they

thought that all of the treasure was rightfully their’s.

A few days later Becky had her long awaited picnic, and they all went to

McDougals cave. Tom showed Becky around and while they were exploring they got

lost, with only a small slice of cake to eat that Tom had shoved in his pocket

the day before along with several candles. When the town saw they were not in

church the next morning they realized that they must have forgotten them. Tom

and Becky were too far down for the search party to find with no food left and

no candles.. Tom and Becky sat by a small stream because they were tired from

exploring and had no light.. By that time Becky had became ill and it was up to

Tom to find the way out.. While Tom was looking for a way out he ran into Injun

Joe who ran off when he herd Tom yell for help.. Tom ran aw
