The plot of the story is a young boy named Tom Sawyer who is always out doing something that usually ends him getting in trouble or missing. One day wandering around at night, he ends up in a cemetery. Dr. Robinson came in with two drunken guys and what happened to him was he was digging up a corpse and he got in an argument and he go stabbed. Another day Tom becomes a pirate with his friends and he ends up losing the raft he used to get across the river. People in town think he is dead since he hasn’t showed up in a while so they throw him a funeral service. He comes back into town while they are throwing the funeral service and he ends up being a town hero. During the case of Dr. Robinson, Potter who is accused calls Tom up to the stands and he tells them it was Injun Joe. He escapes and is never found again until Becky and Tom stay out at a picnic too long and find Injun Joe in a cave. They later come and rescue him and at the end, Tom and Huck is rick because they had a box of gold coins.
This book took place in a small town in Missouri along the Mississippi River. You can also say it took place on it since when they had pirate adventures or he sailed off with Becky for her picnic they took the rivers course. It also took place on the other side or an island, I’m not really sure because they didn’t go into it in the book. The characters are Tom. Becky is the girl he has a crush on. Huck is his best friend that is lonely in the world and goes on all the adventures with Tom. Injun Joe is a guy who murdered Dr. Robinson. Potter is the guy accused of murdering him.

“They had been hid in the unused gallery listening to their own funeral sermon! (Lee 109)”
V:
What is happening before this quote is that Huck, Tom and Joe went off to be pirates. So they took a raft to Jackson Island. They make up pirate commands and rules but one thing is they cannot steal. Their raft then disappears but they don’t really care. Later on a large amount of boats appear and they notice people from the town are looking for them. This makes them feel like heroes. Several days later they start feeling homesick. Now they return back home while there throwing a funeral service and they enter during the middle of it. What I love about this is this kid does so many stuff and never gets in trouble for it. He also has fun doing this and it is just hilarious!
