Description

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer- As I was reading this I kept thinking of the old adage “boys will be boys”. Tom Sawyer is a picture perfect example of a little boy just before he learns to grow up. He gets into minor scrapes, but no major trouble. Life seems to be just one grand adventure each day. In times such as these, it was great to get lost in the innocence of the story that this particular novel provided. The Prince and the Pauper- A case of mistaken identity. An innocent wardrobe change leads to major trouble for all parties involved. Although I was familiar with the tale, it was the way the novel was written and the information in the Introduction section that gave me a new perspective about this novel. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn- Although he is Tom Sawyer’s partner in crime in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, when Huckleberry Finn gets his own novel entitled Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, His character is quite different. He acts as the counterpart and opposite of Tom Sawyer. He’s a bit more down to earth and better in touch with reality so he deals with life’s situations differently, I believe, than Tom Sawyer would have if he’d been in the same situation. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court- Some food for thought: How would the kings and queens of the past react to the modern inventions and conveniences of our world today? This novel provides a little insight to answer that very question. A modern Londoner travels back in time and turns King Arthur’s world upside down. Filled with humor, wit, and plenty of adventure, this was a very enjoyable novel. The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson- A great example of not judging a book based on title alone. I had the impression that this novel was about the tragedy itself. In reality, I enjoyed the novel very much. It’s really about a man who moves to town and has a slip of the tongue moment and from then on he is judged as an idiot. Later, he rises above what the town thinks of him and he’s the hero for a wrongly accused man. It just goes to show that first impressions are not always correct and that anyone can rise above their situations and circumstances if they so choose.
