I believe that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well the reader can relate to the story. This is definitely a book everyone can relate to. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the *** all town on the Mississippi River called St. Peter *** urg. The story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyer's life. Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm in the Middle, and Calvin and Hobbs. What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. The book is filled with Tom's adventures playing pirates and war with his friend Joe Harper. Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the *** s approve of. The book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only e from a child. It is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The whole story is seemingly a plication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood. The book is a little difficult to read at first. Personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. Other than referring to persons of African decent in derogatory terms (which I'm sure uses terms even young children already know), the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. I highly remend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages 拥有一个灿烂的童年，谁就拥有了世界，并可以让我们流连忘返而《汤姆索亚历险记》的主人翁汤姆就是一个典型的例子，他是一个聪明爱动的孩子，他足智多谋，富于同情心，对现实环境持反感态度，一心要冲出村庄，去当绿林好汉，过行侠仗义的生活。在姨妈眼里，他是个顽童，调皮捣蛋，鬼心眼儿多，可自己又不由自主的喜欢他；可在孩子们看来，他却是一个英明的领导者，是个英雄。从他们身上我们看到了自己想要的影子：聪明、勇敢、正直、乐观。 在第二章中，汤姆充分的显示了自己的聪明才智，为了能让别人帮他刷墙，他故意表现的很有意思，让他省了不少功夫，还让别人心甘情愿的给东西他，作为劳酬。 而就在他和哈克相遇的那天晚上，两人一起目睹了一起凶杀案，为了主持正义，不畏 *** 的汤姆站了出来，揭发了印第安乔的丑陋面目，解救了波特。 终于有一天，为了摆脱枯燥无味的功课、虚伪的教义和呆板的生活环境，乔、汤姆、哈克一行三人决定追求冒险的经历。 逃到荒岛上以后，人们都以为他们死了，正在为他们举行葬礼时，可他们却回来参加自己的葬礼，让他们的亲人破涕为笑。 而为了寻找财宝，两人又跟踪印第安乔来到了山洞找到了财宝，成为了首屈一指的大富豪。 从他们在困难当中表现的正直和勇敢，在平时生活中聪明活泼，幼稚而又认真的言行，给我留下了深刻的印象，可以说是当时美国社会的一个缩影。 读了这本小说以后，我觉得遇到困难不要轻易气馁，而要努力奋斗，坚持下去。如果能够做到这点，就可以走向成功。汤姆在充满阳光的生活里告诉我们的只要有欢乐、有梦想，美梦便可以成真。终有一天，我们的天性可以自由自在的发挥，创造出一片我们自己的空间。 我觉得汤姆天真活泼，自由自在，但总有缺点，就是他太让别人操心了，特别是他的姨妈，为了他，经常担惊受怕，可汤姆却不明白，对一个妇女来说最重要的就是孩子要听话，这也是汤姆唯一不好的地方。不过我还是比较欣赏他对外面一切事武好奇心和想像力，而且大胆尝试，机智勇敢，向往自由，向往未来，这不能不让人赞叹。 我说童年就像一罐蜂蜜，越吃越甜。时隔越长，就越令人回味无穷。所以，童年时间十分宝贵。但只要我们生活过的充实、有意义，就一定不会虚度光阴。
