Tom Sawyer

"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" - one of the most interesting books. The protagonist of this book won the hearts of children all over the world. The book is written by Mark Twain more than a hundred years ago, and Tom is a favorite literary hero of today's children. What attracts us to this boy?

"Tom was not еxemplary a boy who would be proud of the whole city" - Mark Twain wrote. Aunt Polly says Tom, that "he is a mere imp," though she loves her nephew too. "More than anything, he hated to work." But he was not lazy.

Just Tom realized that "work is what we must do," in contrast to the game. Tom loved the freedom and  he  has an opinion that all responsibilities  are  boring always.  So Tom  contrived to get into trouble at all times and in all    places.

Tom is intelligent and resourceful. He found a way to turn a boring job in the game, and the boys happily whitewashed fence for him. He is a bold and observant. Tom is not afraid of getting lost in a cave or go to the cemetery at night.

Although Tom always does things for which he is punished, I don't blame him. He is an honest and good "about" Sid. I would like to have a friend like Tom.

Том Сойер
"Приключения Тома Сойера" - одна из самых интересных книг. Главный герой этой книги завоевал сердца детей во всем мире. Книга написана Марком Твеном более ста лет назад, и Том является любимым литературным героем сегодняшних детей. Что привлекает нас к этому мальчику?

"Том не был  таким  мальчиком, которым гордился бы весь город», - писал Марк Твен. Тетя Полли говорит Тому, что "он сущий чертенок," хотя она тоже любит своего племянника. "Больше всего на свете он ненавидел работать." Но он не был ленив.

Просто Том понял, что «работа это то, что мы должны делать," в отличие от игры. Том любил свободу и у него есть мнение, что все обязанности скучны всегда. Так Том умудрялся попасть в беду, во все времена и во всех местах.

Том умен и находчив. Он нашел превратить скучную работу в игру, и мальчики с удовольствием побелили забор для него. Он смелый и наблюдательный. Том не боится заблудиться в пещере или пойти на кладбище в ночное время.

Хотя Том всегда делает то, за что он наказан, я его не виню. Он честный и добр к Сиду. Я хотел бы иметь такого друга, как Том.
