The adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckle Barry Fin
Since Mark Twain root the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckle Barry Fin American childhood has changed since the 1850s. Now American children are more civilized, and they aren’t outside as much as in Tom Sawyer. Most kids in 1850s wanted to be as independent as possible. They would skip school to go fish or swim. Now kids like to play video games more than go outside.
Kids today kids are used to a simple life where they behave more than in the 1850s. In the 1850s kids would get in trouble more than now. Most kids in the 1850s fifties did not wear shoes and I didn’t like to wear nice clothes. The narrator said, “So he got into his shoes, snoring” (Twain 34). The boys in the 1850s most of them didn’t like to bathe. Now American kids still don’t like to bathe. In the time Mark Twain wrote Tom Sawyer children had more freedom then American kids today. Today American kids have much better grammar then kids in the 1850s. Kids in the 1850s. In the 1850s kids were tougher than kids now are wimpier and like to play video games all the time. In the 1850s they got wiped for doing something bad in school now kid just get talked to by the teacher. Most of the stuff that has changed since the 1850s is kids have got wimpier and don’t spend as much time outside.
Mark Twain shows Tom and Huck as being good buddies. Tom has a lot of Ideas that Huck just goes along with. When Tom took Huck to look for treasure Huck trusted Tom and went with him. When Huck and Tom went to the graveyard, they made an oath not to tell anyone about the murder and that shows their friendship.
When we first see Huck in the Adventures of Tom Sawyer, he is going to the graveyard with a dead cat to get a wart removed and Tom said he will go with him. Tom looks up to Huck because he is the only truly independent person he knows. Tom is all ways were Huck is and they go on lots of adventures. The Narrator said, “That night Tom and Huck were ready for their adventure.” (Twain 247).
