Book Report

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain was written about a boy who is very mischievious and it tells about all of his adventures and how much trouble he gets himself into. This book seems very real and all of the things Tom does could be something that people would do today. Mark Twain took everyday occurences and put them into this book.

Mark Twain was born in 1835 in Florida and raised in Florida. His father died so his brothers and him were left to making the money for the family. Then the civil war broke out so Mark moved to the desert life in Nevada. He started out his writing career by write articles for publications about the life of mining. Then Twain married Olivia Langdon. The couple had kids but three of them died before they even got into their twenties. His family and him then moved to Conneticut, and this is the home that he started to write his novels. A few of his many books were The Gilded Age, Tram Abroad, and Innocents Abroad. Twain ended up dying in 1910 in Conneticut.

I really liked this book because the suspense of what Tom was going to do next kept me reading. It was very descriptive and the things that Tom did I couldn't even believe. The adventures that Tom did were very realistic. They were to far feched or fantasy. I could see a few of the things that he did happening in Redfield. I think that everyone should at sometime sit down and read this book. Once you start you can't put it down.
