When humanity was revealed and exposed by A child who is like Tom,It become humorous but tear in eyes at the same time...by the way, I am also surprised why Nobel lecture award didn't belong to this great novel?!

"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain is a timeless classic that explores the innocence and mischief of childhood. Through the misadventures of Tom Sawyer, Twain delves into themes of freedom, friendship, and the journey to self-discovery. One of the most striking aspects of the novel is its portrayal of the carefree spirit of youth. Tom's escapades, from playing hooky to pretending to be a pirate, capture the thrill of breaking societal norms and embracing spontaneity. However, beneath the surface of these lighthearted adventures lies a deeper exploration of the complexities of human nature. Twain paints a vivid picture of a small town along the Mississippi River, where social hierarchies and moral codes shape the lives of its inhabitants. Yet, amidst the constraints of society, Tom Sawyer embodies a sense of freedom that comes from following his own path and staying true to his adventurous spirit.

This is my first book of original copy which is spent about 12 hours. Beginning is always hard. I am persistent and confident. Reading oringal copy boost my English ability.

孩子的生命力是与生俱来的，不该用成人的道德标准去压抑他们。明白大是大非即可，而不是事无巨细的规矩。 汤姆会为了不去上学装病，我也会；汤姆逃学，我小时候不敢逃大学逃。 其实每个人都是这样的小孩，所以不该用坏去定义。

《汤姆·索亚历险记：THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER（英文原版）》 是美国著名小说家马克·吐温的代表作，发表于1876年。 书中描述小说主人公汤姆·索亚天真活泼，富于幻想和冒险，不堪忍受束缚个性、枯燥乏味的生活，幻想干一番英雄事业。小说通过主人公的冒险经历，对美国虚伪庸俗的社会习俗、伪善的宗教仪式和刻板陈腐的学校教育进行了讽刺和批判，以欢快的笔调描写了少年儿童自由活泼的心灵。

全书共读了十四小时，跨时接近十个月。前半部跨时九个多月，后半部分不到一周就读完了。这见证了一件事从难到易的过程。 在汤姆顽劣的外表下藏着一颗善良，正义的心。他聪明又有很高的情商，加上十足的劝说能力和领导力。全书最吸引我的有三个故事，诱惑别人给他刷墙(这个故事成了英语中的短语：Tom_sawyer sb)；替Becky 受刑，劝哈克回寡妇的家。尤其是最后和哈克的对话，深刻掌握了哈克的心理，通过哈克想要成为“强盗”动力成功劝说他回寡妇家。
