【正文】 he gradually retracts his scornfulness and asks Tom if he could try some of them. That is exactly what Tom wants. He grants Ben a chance with bargaining chip, the apple. He successfully makes a deal with Ben and many other boys. That afternoon, being a poor, povertystricken boy in the morning, Tom is literally rolling in wealth. However, the most important is that the whole board fence has been whitewashed. At last, Tom discovers a great law of human action: in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make it difficult to attain. Mark Twain here uses Tom‘s whitewashing to express his own thoughts. The difference between play and work, Mark Twain points out that work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do and play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do. He powerfully criticizes the luxury of the aristocratic life. The wealthy gentlemen do not work but indulge themselves in wasting wealth. To portray a hero, Mark Twain intentionally enlarges Tom Sawyer‘s wit. For example, when Tom and Becky get lost in the cave, Tom behaves not like a child。 and for the space of two minutes the dust continued to fly from the two jackets and the whole school to enjoy it.‖(P363) It is very difficult to describe children‘s behavior so vividly from the adult perspective, but Mark Twain has done it well. In the story Tom fights against his bosom friend, we can realize that the friendship is quite different for children when paring with the adult friendship. What makes the children‘s friendship tight is 7 they can share the happiness. When it is impossible for them to share fun, the friendship will break up. In this regard, Mark Twain expresses his desire for true, pure friendship. But this relationship may not exist in the adult world, as adults are hypocritical and snobbish, even some of them are trained to be, and the rests are forced to be. 8 B. Tom Sawyer‘s Romance Every adult has his own memory of childhood. And every adult has his own way of romance. Such as, the first time to see a girl ,the first time to talk with the girl he liked, even the first time to kiss . All of this is unfettable and romance. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain managers his delicate pen well to delineate Tom‘s romance with Becky Thatcher, a beautiful girl who attracts Tom at their first encounter. Tom immediately falls in love with her and he fets Amy Lawrence, with whom Tom makes engagement before. After Tom finishes his whitewashing, Aunt Polly allows him to go out to play. That is really a good day, because he meets a girl like an angle he thinks when he is passing by where Jeff Thatcher lived. ―A lovely little blueeyed creature with yellow hair plaited into two long tails, white summer frock, and embroidered pantalets.‖(P316) That beautiful girl ruins Tom‘s heart, he thinks himself has fell in love with the girl, and he regrets his engagement with Amy Lawrence .Then Tom tries to do everything to show off to draw Becky‘s attention. For some reason, Becky seems a little hardhearted。s character, we still need more effort. This paper dedicates to analyze Tom Sawyer‘s character in three aspects, namely, innocence and romance, wit and leadership, and rebellion and heroism. Among those characters, no matter innocence or rebellion, Mark Twain aims at nothing but describing Tom‘s eagerness for freedom. To Mark Twain, rebellion is not to blame, because everyone has a rebellious side, especially adolescent children. The hypocrisy and dark of adult world, forced children became more rebellious Tom is a fighter, and his enemy is the plicated adult world. Tom is restrained by the social rules。s story.
