The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

It was only me again in the Friday reading class. I read 3 extracts on that day. The first story was "The Adventure of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain.

I guess I should read not only Tom Sawyer but also its sequel, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", because it depicts racism of the time and the drifting journey of Huck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of American literature.
