The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer

I. About the Film：The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

　

Tom Sawyer lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother Sid. He skips school to swim and is made to whitewash the fence the next day as punishment. He cleverly persuades his friends to trade him small treasures for the privilege of doing his work. He then trades the treasures for Sunday School tickets which one normally receives for memorizing verses consistently, redeeming them for a Bible, much to the surprise and bewilderment of the superintendent who thought "it was simply preposterous that this boy had warehoused two thousand sheaves of Scriptural wisdom on his premises—a dozen would strain his capacity, without a doubt."

Tom falls in love with Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town, and persuades her to get "engaged" by kissing him. But their romance collapses when she learns Tom has been "engaged" previously to Amy Lawrence. Shortly after Becky shuns him, he accompanies Huckleberry Finn to the graveyard at night, where they witness a trio of body snatchers, Dr. Robinson, Muff Potter and Injun Joe, getting into a fight. While Potter is knocked unconscious during the scuffle, Injun Joe stabs the doctor to death and later pins the blame on Potter, who is arrested for the murder. Potter is then shunned by the whole town, except Huck and Tom, who knew the real story. They decided "to keep mum" about this incident because they are afraid of Injun Joe murdering them.

Tom and Huck run away to an island. While enjoying their new-found freedom, they become aware that the community is sounding the river for their bodies. Tom sneaks back home one night to observe the commotion. After a brief moment of remorse at his loved ones' suffering, he is struck by the idea of appearing at his own funeral. Back in school, Tom gets himself back in Becky's favor after he nobly accepts the blame for a book she has ripped. Soon, Muff Potter's trial begins, in which Tom testifies against Injun Joe. Potter is acquitted, but Injun Joe flees the courtroom through a window. Tom then fears for his life as Injun Joe is at large and can easily find him.

Summer arrives, and Tom and Huck go hunting for buried treasure in a haunted house. After venturing upstairs they hear a noise below. Peering through holes in the floor, they see Injun Joe disguised as a deaf-mute Spaniard; Injun Joe and his companion plan to bury some stolen treasure of their own. From their hiding spot, Tom and Huck wriggle with delight at the prospect of digging it up. Huck begins to shadow Injun Joe nightly, watching for an opportunity to nab the gold. In the meantime, Tom goes on a picnic to McDougal's Cave with Becky and their classmates. In his overconfidence, Tom strays off the marked paths with Becky and they get hopelessly lost. That night, Huck sees Injun Joe and his partner making off with a box. He follows and overhears their plans to attack the Widow Douglas. By running to fetch help, Huck prevents the crime and becomes an anonymous hero.

As Tom and Becky wander the extensive cave complex for the next few days, Becky gets extremely dehydrated and starved, so Tom's search for a way out gets even more determined. He accidentally encounters Injun Joe one day, but he is not seen by his nemesis. Eventually he finds a way out, and they are joyfully welcomed back by their community. As a preventive measure, Judge Thatcher has McDougal's Cave sealed off, but this traps Injun Joe inside. When Tom hears of the sealing several days later and directs a posse to the cave, they find Injun Joe's corpse just inside the sealed entrance, starved to death.

A week later, having deduced from Injun Joe's presence at McDougal's Cave that the villain must have hidden the stolen gold inside, Tom takes Huck to the cave and they find the box of gold, the proceeds of which are invested for them. The Widow Douglas adopts Huck, and when he attempts to escape civilized life, Tom tricks him into thinking that he can join Tom's robber band if he returns to the widow. Reluctantly, he agrees and goes back to her.

II. About the Writer：Mark Twain

Born in 1835 in the Clemens family of Florida, Missouri as the fifth of six brothers. The real name of Mark Twain is Samuel. My father was a judge. The Kremens family was an old house which immigrated to the United States in the mid 17th century, but it was bankrupt and unprofessional. When I was 4 years old, I moved to Honnibal, Mississippi town, Mississippi. This town and its inhabitants will be models of people and places to appear in the later "Adventures of Tom Sawyer", "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". The Cremens family possessed slaves, Jenny 's maiden was the second mother, and slave children were playmates. Descriptions of Huckleberry Finn and Jim of Fugitive Slavery derive from such human relations.

IV. My Reaction

A. Reaction Point - Characters

• Characters are persons, or animals or natural forces represented as persons, in a work of film or literature.
• In Tom Sawyer's adventure, Tom is an important entity in advancing the story as an adventure fellow of Huckle · Berryfin, best friend.
• The most horrible, naughty naughty guy in the village of St. Petersburg. An adventurous boy who is late for breakfast and does not listen to lessons, runs around Noyama after school and does not return until the evening. However, because it does not do bullying, colleagues at school are also popular, but Paulie's aunt is burning her hands. Tom's father was an accountant, but as Cid was born, he died of typhoid typhoid that spread immediately, and her mother died for a while, so she lives in a mother's aunt's Polly's house.

B. Reaction Point - Set Design

• Set design is how the scenery looks and how it is built.
• “ One uv 'em 's light en 'together one is dark. One is rich en 'together is po'. You 's gwyne to marry de po' one fust en de rich by-en by.” (p. 20) “ ‘ Well, there's five niggers run off tonight, up younger above the head of the bend. Is your man white or black? ”
• In 1876 when "Tom Sawyer's Adventure" was published, the so-called rebuilding period came to an end, the former southern forces restored and "years again slavery started". After that, black discrimination and prejudice of white superiority gradually strengthened, and in the 1980s more than 50 black people will be lynching every year. Also, in 1883 the Supreme Court ruled that the civil rights law enacted in 1875 constitutes unconstitutional, and that conservative prejudice is written at the time that violence is legally justified .

C. Reaction Point - Difference from the original

• Replacement to express the world that the author wishes to express easily
• The scene where Tom at the beginning of the story is ordered to paint the wall from Polly's lady
• In animation, I was ordered to paint wild pigs as a punishment driving with steam, but originally I was ordered as a punishment by going to swimming and going to swim school and even clothes.

D. My General Opinion

I have read it many times since I was young, but there were many things I wanted to know for the first time. I could write it happily. I was particularly surprised that the contents of racial discrimination, which is an artist's own experience, were included in the background of this story. I learned through this blog, I wanted to investigate more about racial discrimination and this era without ending here.
