~Authors Note: We had to write an essay for Tom Sawyer about the theme and mode.
Have you ever had a loyal friend who'd stand by you while you stood by him? A friend that you'd support, no matter what? That's what the friendship of Tom, Huck, and Joe is like. They would stick by each other even when they were in great danger. They are like brothers, who fight, but then they would forgive each other and continue their adventures.
Their friendship seems huge because Huck and Joe let Tom drag them everywhere, whether it's a murder they're seeing, or into Tom's own personal problems. But then again isn't that what friends are for? To follow you and help at times of need?
Mark Twain seems to know how to value friendship, and let that "feeling" write the story of Tom Sawyer for him. He added some marvelous characters, Huck Finn and Joe, to be friends with Tom Sawyer on all the adventures. If Tom didn't have friends or at least allies, the story would be over after a few very short chapters. Tom Sawyer's overall mode is romance. He can't do anything wrong and ends up getting out of trouble every time. Everybody needs a friend, including romance main characters.
good job you had a lot a lot of great vocab, but you could have put a little more detail into what Tom and Huck's friendship entails otherwise it was really good.
ReplyDeleteYou had good detail in the thesis paragraph and the conclusion. I think you need more in the body paragraph.
