《汤姆索亚历险记》英文读后感

I believe that one of the factors that makes a piece

of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well

the reader can relate to the story. This is definitely

a book everyone can relate to.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces,

written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. Tom

Sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small

town on the Mississippi River called St. Petersburg.

The story line is simple, the book reads like a

biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyer's life.

Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template

for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm in

the Middle, and Calvin and Hobbs. What makes this story

great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is

great about childhood. The book is filled with Tom's

adventures playing pirates and war with his friend Joe

Harper. Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few

of the adults approve of. The book is filled with ideas

of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers

work, that are so innocent, they could only e from a child. It is a story filled with action, adventure,

ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The

whole story is seemingly a plication of what people did

or wish they did during their childhood.

The book is a little difficult to read at first.

Personally, it takes me a little while to get used to

the 19th century dialect in the book. Other than

referring to persons of African decent in derogatory

terms (which I'm sure uses terms even young children

already know), the book would be an enjoyable read for

people of all ages. I highly remend this book for anyone

looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred

pages.
