As the school bus passes, driving down the street back into the world of which it came from, you glance back at where it was sitting just a moment ago. The calm, peaceful world has returned to the way it was, never really changing from day to day. Tom, from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, never really does change throughout the novel. Even adventures as a pirate and a robber can't change Tom's innocent personality. Innocence takes time to diminish, something of which The Adventures of Tom Sawyer doesn't span enough over.
The boys from the novel are immature and innocent; for they will be innocent for time to come. Tom Sawyer has many immature adventures many children dream about-- but are mature enough not to actually go out and have those adventures. Children are certain of their futures up until an evident time in their lives. Tom thinks he knows what it is he wants to bring about in his lifetime, yet he is only a child. Every child at one point in their life wants to be just like Tom actually is -- able to get away with whatever -- no matter how crazy it is.
Along with being immature, childish is something Tom Sawyer is without a doubt. In the novel, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom Sawyer is a young boy with friends by his side. All throughout the novel Tom, Huck, and Joe are friends to the end. Pirates who attend their own funerals to robbers who find Injun Joe's treasure, these boys are going to be there for each other. Tom Sawyer and his friends will stick together forever, disregarding the challenges that they will certainly conquer in the romantic world of literature they live in.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a novel about a boy who dreams of adventure, immature enough to go right ahead and pursue his dreams. Children are adventurous, as they always will be, but Tom is a boy of childish nature who will live his whole life always dreaming of new adventures. The three adventurers from the 1800's will always be an American classic for relating to the people of the modern world today. Even though Tom will grow to be a man one day, he will always be a child at heart.

Friendship
As you hear the distinct ring of the doorbell, a sudden hope has arrived. Gracefully moving to the dorway, you know who is at the door waiting for you to unlock the lock and turn the knob. As the door opens, a smile flashes across your face as you see your best friend standing right in front of you. Friendship is one of the most powerful forces in the world as anyone can be a friend, and a friend can be anyone.
Friends are always there for you through the ups and the downs. Whether you win your soccer game or when your dog dies, friends will be there cheering you on or comforting you. Though many tough times come in our lifetimes, our friends are here to comfort us and to be supportive in the decisions we make everyday of our lives. No matter how many friends you have, what really matters is loyalty. Friends have to be as loyal as a servant is to its master. You have to play your part as a friend too. Along with friends being loyal to you, you need to be loyal to your friends. As a friend may come and go, more are never far away.
In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, friendship is something Tom Sawyer is never short of. Huckleberry Finn and Joe Harper are Tom's best friends. They are always with him from the adventures as pirates on the island, to digging for buried treasure. After they return from being pirates, and attend their own funeral, Tom sticks up for Huck when nobody seems to be happy for him to be safe. This shows just how powerful these boys can be, getting a grown woman to care for a boy nobody seems to enjoy having around. Tom Sawyer truly knows what friendship means, and will do anything for it.
Tom Sawyer found out that friends are always there for you, as you should always be there for them. Friends are loyal, kind, and truly something to appreciate greatly throughout your lifetime. Tom, Huck and Joe were definitely great friends always ready for an adventure. Just as all friends should be, these boys were truly loyal. Friends are the key to life -- something we just can't live without.
