For my English coursework I am currently reading the adventures of Tom Sawyer. What I find most interesting in this novel is Twain’s way exploring the simple things of the 19th century society in America with such clearly detailed analysis. The book is Brocken up into small stories rather than chapters allowing for a new deep insightful meaning/ moral of the story after every chapter.

Twain’s characterisation of young Tom Sawyer is very interesting; a typical bored young boy who is always looking for a new thing to interest him. It is also made clear just how hard life was for people in those times and how hard poor people would have to work to make a living.
