| Summary |
"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Complete" by Mark Twain is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The book follows the adventurous life of a young boy named Tom Sawyer as he navigates childhood mischief, friendships, and his moral compass in a small American town along the Mississippi River. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Tom Sawyer as he eludes the watchful eye of his Aunt Polly, who is both exasperated and amused by his antics. The opening scenes depict Tom's mischievous nature, including his clever escape from punishment and his interactions with other children, particularly a new boy that ignites Tom's competitive spirit. The reader quickly gets a sense of Tom's personality: he's adventurous, clever, and often mischievous, setting the stage for the humorous and sometimes poignant escapades that follow in the tale.
