The Adventures of Tom Sawyer By Mark Twain.

Tom Sawyer is a little rascal. It a good thing his aunt loves him. I think with anyone else during those times Tom would not have lasted a month. I've only read 31 pages into The Adventures off Tom Sawyer but for real now ... how in the world are you going to get everyone else to paint the fence for you? This boy is going to be a con artist. I mean he made a profit out of it. "Tom was literally rolling in wealth. He had besides the things before mentioned, twelve marbles,part of a jews-harp, a piece of blue bottle-glass to look through, a spool cannon, a key that wouldn’t unlock anything, a fragment of chalk, a glass stopper of a decanter, a tin soldier, a couple of tadpoles, six fire-crackers, a kitten with only one eye, a brass door-knob, a dog-collar – but no dog – the handle of a knife, four pieces of orange-peel, and a dilapidated old window sash." As I said, this boy is going to be a con man. I think his aunt knows it too. She's pulled in by his sucking powers and can't help but love him. It must be a conspiracy by Mark Twain to convince small boys to do bad things, like the stupid but called "A Dangerous Book for Boys." My younger cousin Raleigh is now terrifying the children of the neighbor hood with his "not-so-very dangerous and easy to use" sling shot. Raleigh wants to be a lawyer when he grows up. He likes to argue.... NOTE: This is not completely done and will be revised some.
