Description:... The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is a fabulous 1876 novel about a young and clever boy growing up in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, along the Mississippi River. The story is inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain was living. In this fantastic story, Tom Sawyer lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother Sid. On an occasion, Tom makes his clothes very dirty in a fight. As a result, Aunt Polly punishes him and orders him to whitewash the fence the next day. He then acts cleverly and persuades his friends to trade him small treasures in return for doing his work. He trades the treasures like Sunday School tickets, which one would actually receive for memorizing verses and so on. Later on, Tom falls in love with Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town, and persuades her to get "engaged" by kissing him. But their romance collapses when she learns Tom has been "engaged" previously to Amy Lawrence. Shortly after Becky shuns him, he accompanies Huckleberry Finn to the graveyard at night, where they witness the murder of Dr. Robinson and the story gains an exciting twist. Further, the adventure carries on at a wonderful pace to reveal much more. The''Fence Painting by Tom''event has become a famous American Classic Legend since then and is remembered to date.
