Tom Sawyer 2

A detailed Summary of Tom Sawyer 2

Tom Sawyer is a boy who is full of adventures. In his world there is an adventure around every corner. Some of his adventures have lead him into some bad situations but with his good heart and bright mind he has gotten out of them. Tom lives with his aunt Polly, his cousin Mary and his bother Sid.

One of the first things to happen in the book is a memorable one, the painting of the fence. Tom's aunt Polly made Tom paint her fence on a Saturday as a punishment. Tom just hated the idea of having to work on a Saturday while all of the neighborhood could make fun of and harass him. After Tom tried to trade some of his possessions for a few hours of freedom he had a stroke of genius, instead of him paying people to work for him, he made people pay him to paint. Tom managed this by telling people that it isn't every day that you get a chance to paint a fence and he thought it was fun. He had people begging him to paint by the time that he was finished his story. He would have taken every boy in the town's wealth if he had not run out of paint.

On June 17th about the hour of midnight, Tom and his best friend Huck were out in the grave yard trying to get rid of warts, when they witnessed a murder by Injun Joe. At the time M

A few days later Tom was at Becky's house where everyone was celebrating the return of him and Becky. Becky's father was talking with Tom when he mentioned that he had the entrance on the cave closed off so that no one would ever get lost in it again. Tom's face went totally white. Becky's father asked him what was wrong he said that Injun Joe was still in the cave. Not long after all of the men went to the cave to investigate. They made the gruesome discovery of Injun Joe's body. He had made his way to the gate but he could not get it unlocked, he had starved to death. Tom was finally at ease, and now he was ready to go treasure hunting again.

Tom and Huck then pulled the wagon to Mrs Widow Douglas's house. There they were ushered inside by the old Welshman, and were told to go upstairs and change there cloths. They did so, and when they came down stairs they were informed that the party was for Huck to thank him for saving Widow Douglas' life. During the party Widow Douglas said that Huck was going to live with her and he was going to grow up the way that he should. Then Tom exploded and said that Huck did not need Widow Douglas, because he was rich. At this comment the room burst into laughter. Tom said that he and Huck would prove it and went outside. When Tom and Huck returned they were carrying two large bags. Tom and Huck walked to the table and dumped the bags, they were full of money. Everyone was shocked, Tom and Huck explained their latest adventure and then the money was divided evenly. Both of the boy's money was deposited in a bank, and rationed out to them a dollar and a quarter per week. This is basically how the story ends.

The next big event in the town was the trial of Muff Potter for the murder in the graveyard. The whole town believed Injun Joe, and poor Muff was sent to a temporary jail cell for a week. At the end of the week he was to be hung unless some one in court had proved him innocent. While Muff was in jail temporarily he was not alone. Every day Tom and Huck would go and talk to him through the jail cell bars and on occasion bring him food. On the last day of court, to everyone's surprise they called Tom Sawyer to the stand. Then the man asked him where he was on the 17th of June he said "In the graveyard". Then when he asked who he saw do it he said with all his courage he said "Muff didn't do it. It was Injun Joe!" and with that Injun Joe jumped out the window and ran away.

I liked the way that the author seems to stay in the story the entire way and is adding things as you go along.

A few days after that incident Tom, Huck and Joe decided to go a
