A book Review of The Adventure of Tom Sawyer
One of my favorite great books is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer， by Mark Twain． The story is set in the state of Missouri， in the U．S， in the nineteenth century． （1） ．
Tom， the hero of the book，is a lively and clever boy． He doesn't like people telling him what to do，（2） ．He and his best friend， Huck Finn， run away to an island in the middle of Mississipi River． Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him． Later， Tom escapes from a cave with another friend， Becky， He also finds Injun Joe's treasure box and takes it away．
My favourite funny story in The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is told by his aunt Polly to paint the gate white． The work is a punishment because missed school one day． At first， Tom is watched by his friends and laughed at，so he feels quite bad． But soon he turns the situation round，（3） ．Tom says that he enjoys painting the gate white，and his friends want to try．He asks each friend to give him something valuable． In return， they are allowed to do some of Tom's work!
（4） ．Mark Twain wrote it in 1876． It describes people's lives in the southern states of America at that time． It tells how young people grow， how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions． Today， it is still read and loved by people all over the world， and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories．
