They will be jealous when either of them is playing with others of opposite sex, which is an interesting but an essential part of love.All people fell in love are romantic, even a boy. The first time Tom sits with Becky is interesting. Tom is late for class, and because of this, he gets punishment from the teacher, but that could not be a punishment to Tom, because he is used to it. Not long after that, the teacher requires Tom to sit with girls, which is exactly what he wants, as he notices Becky is sitting alone there. He inches towards her and sit down. He glances at the girl and she makes a mouth as reply. In a minute, he takes out a peach and lays it on Becky’s desk when she cautiously faces around. In this plot, we can see Tom is considerate and good at pleasing girls. Love is a very important part in one’s life. It helps to build one’s value of life, and makes one mature and charm. True love is beautiful. Poets never feel tired to express their praise and longing for true love. Man always falls in love with a woman unconsciously, and it may take his whole lifetime to forget. Love is pure, and it is weak too. Actually, love is always twisted by the outside world, such as, family restrains, class status, power, racial discriminations, and etcetera. In this regard, the relationship between Tom and Becky is far from love. It is a kind of special friendship, since they are too young to know the true meaning of loveresponsibility. Tom is romantic, and his understanding of romance is originated from the medieval romance he read. He imitates the books, for example, the way of he make engagement with Becky. Tom does not know what a kiss truly mean, but he kisses Becky. Thus, the romance between Tom and Becky is substantially different from adults. For the children, love is pure and is not related to sex or money. In this novel, Mark Twain portrays Tom Sawyer’s innocence and romantic gift, which deeply impressed the readers.Chapter 2 Tom Sawyer’s Wit and LeadershipA good leader must be a wise man. He can always make right decision at the crucial moment. He has the ability to reverse the situation even people in trouble. No doubt that In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom is a good leader. Therefore, he was admired by his partners, and loved by so many readers.A. Tom Sawyer’s WitTom Sawyer is a wit boy, even if always behaviors impolitely in daily life. He can hardly recite a few lines of The Bible, but the fact is that he was the only one to have a new Bible. He can always easily find ways to escape from Aunt Polly’s punishment, and even makes Aunt Polly live in distress. His whitewashing scenes left a deep impression on us. We are attracted by Tom’s smartness when we see him tactfully makes other children to help him to whitewash the board fence. They voluntarily do as whitewashers, and they are convinced that is a special honor. When Tom cannot persuade Jim to replace his job, he begins to find for other means. He thinks that it would be a shame if his friends saw him, because they would make fun of him for having to work in such a beautiful day. He then plans to buy an exchange of work with his toys, but he soon finds his prosperity is too poor to buy half an hour. In a moment, he gets an idea. He thinks that he must work like an artist。 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。 they do not sleep well except Huck who has nothing to concern. Their disappearing upsets the whole town. Their family falls into deep sorrow, and people in the town begin to search the children’s corpses, as they are convinced the boys have died. The boys notice when they heard the thunder from the river. Tom knows that people are seeking for their bodies as the villagers think the boys drowned. However, the boys do not feel sad at all, instead, they think themselves as heroes, because they feel how important they mean to their family and the people all through this village.However, the ecstasy does not last long. The boys bee depressed when they are thinking about their family. Joe speaks out something suggest his mind of going back, and Huck seems to be the same. Tom laughs at Joe and Huck for he looks down on their cowardice. His excellent eloquence oppresses the insurgency. Tom misses Aunt Polly too, but he knows that once he shows his feeling, their piratelike life e to the end. However, Tom has to consider what others do not need to, and do more than others do. After a serious consideration, Tom makes up his mind to go back secretly to tell Aunt Polly their situation that they were n
