Don't read, take our narrative. We know how busy you are. You want to graduate, right? How will you ever take care of your loved ones if your busy learning the truth! Then you can tell everyone how right you are while you're busy grabbing at random smutted straw, only to hope for survival. Is that what he was saying?

Ya God bless

Eunice Escobar ok SAME

i had 1 week 0_o

And they say people are different...

Eunice Escobar I’ve never related to a comment more.

10weeks!? We have at most 2 weeks to read this and have to write a critical analysis for it for final exam 😂

Exusemeprincess17 And everything was exactly how I imagined it!! Just proves to me what a powerful writer Mark Twain was for creating such a similar vision for all his readers!

Damnn shitttt 8 Yr ago!!!! How are you brother?

I really love mark twain and have read both books multiple times and this is so true for both of his novels. Tom is so full of himself and immature. I mean HE. IS. THE. WORST. He's the 1800s version of Caillou! Huck Finn is so much more multifaceted. He actually has a personality and reasonable motivations and is such an easier character to relate to. Plus he actually seems to care for the people around him. :/

There's always that one friend...

Grace Wasson Tom was a much better kid in his own book. (He helps a condemned man and he helps Becky when they get lost in the cave.

TypicalRocky this is me too bruh 😂 I got an exam tomorrow too

In high school I had to do a report on it, didn't read the book. The night before school I was flipping through my TV and on AMC was a silent film version of the novel. "Sometimes laziness uh uh finds a way." - Jeff Goldblum

Seriously, I would prefer to watch anime all day instead of do school work so this helps a lot xD

Lol

Zack that’s a whole mood. I read a different book every week (when I don’t have too much APLang hw) but I still haven’t read any of the required reads

how did u do

I used to get stoned in school; read this whole thing and failed english by only reading books, and not writing the reports.

Good luck! And stay safe:)

Lol same here

+Nhan Pham lol

Bruh perfect for when u read it like years before

Samme

I found the best way to understand the grammar, more specifically when Jim is talking, is to say it aloud. When you see it you don't really understand but if you say what you see it sounds right and you're better able to comprehend it. Worked for me anyway

Matt Nemeth another way, is to use a website such as audible or Loudlit and listen to the audiobook

JakandCrash you just pinned down all my reading issues with that book!

You can listen to an audio book because the old language and when jim talks it's hard to read

Omg sane I could barely follow it. After finishing the book, this helped me sum it up

I guess his punishment was when he got shoot

Yeah welp he got shot for it

What book would you give a 10 out of 10?

You're giving Tom's character a 6 or 7 out of 10. What about the book as a whole?

I thought his name was N IGGER Jim

Matt, you dodged a big, smelly bullet.

Kidz hut Happy birthday Dr vipul

Matt I hope you failed

did you pass?

@@itsblitzkrieg8911 stop giving negetive vibes

I came here cuz of the book my dad got me 😂 by mark

It was normal To his day.

@Jesus Christ No, it's not! I'm approaching seven decades, Stalin was still alive when I was born; I've seen real racism, and it was the Democratic Party. You're nothing but a dictionary definition of what Saul Alinsky called a useful idiot, and your comment proves my point. You don't know sheep shit from burnt cottonseed.

@Jesus Christ I live in the South too, have all of my life, my second wife is black, so fucking what; you're nothing special. And yes, it's the Democrat party who are the party of racist, Jim Crow, the KKK, the Confederacy, and fought against civil rights or integrated schools. It was the Republicans who freed the slaves, brought about the 14th, 15th, and 16th amendments, the civil rights act, and abolished Jim Crow laws. Those are the facts, I lived through the '50s and '60s, I was there, deny all you want to believe in an agenda, but if you buy into the bullshit that the Democrats are slinging, you are a useful idiot.

Lets be honest, depending what time period or area, the states have quite the number of discrimination from race, sexism, but no place should be labeled worst or better

And your dream now?

Same

wish me luck

It's a really good book

Lol you're allowed to wear headphones during a test? :O

Im doing a book report

I had to read Tom Sawyer so I was like, well why not listen to this. I feel like a loser.

Chromosocks no

Kyle McCarron lol that’s exactly what I’m doing

yep same

So 2 years have passed how did you end up

Kyle McCarron respond to us please. How did it go?

.__. Get your bs together. In 5th grade I had to read this over winter break and answer the questions in the Reader's Guide.

Professor Bextem well you didn't have 2-4 other books for other classes and actual class work. So don't call High School Honors English "bs"

Bethany Wade omg lord of the flies was so damn boring ive never read a book more boring

literally same worst book ever

Selena Lopez Ya, but the plot seemed interesting overall.

As someone who grew up in the Northeast US, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and later Huck Finn (my dad didn’t let me read Huck until I was 11 because of the language; the only book he wouldn’t let me read) absolutely enthralled me as a child. We have our hicks (I am one) and hillbillies up here, too, but it’s different culturally because of the agriculture/industrial dichotomy of the south and north respectively. Reading those books were like a passport to a different world, even more so than Narnia, Middle Earth or Hogwarts, because Twain’s writings were so viscerally real. If you got time for it, Tom Sawyer is more of a fun tale with less high stakes

@@mikeydubbs8565 thank you for the suggestion! What are hicks and how are hicks different from hillbillies?

@@pheeku6996 Hicks are different from Hillbillies mainly for two reasons: Hillbilly is a legitimate ethnic group. Also, Hillbillies are strictly from Appalachia. A hick is an outdoorsy person from more populated areas like New England (Hi!) or the Midwest. It is used as a derogatory term depending on the context, but I like to reclaim the term. Tl;dr Hicks are basically rednecks that aren’t from the South

@@pheeku6996 Hicks like to do things like fish, hunt, go (real) camping, some people like my uncle are survivalists, to the extent that you could drop them off anywhere in the wilderness and find their way back to civilization or safety while staying alive using their surroundings, knowledge and instinct. My uncle went through a crazy class where to pass it, they did just that

@@mikeydubbs8565 thank you for the information! There's so much to learn about the USA

Emi Rose well it was written in American dialects from the mid 1800s, what did you expect?
