第一篇：tom sawyer 汤姆索亚历险记 英文读后感

Themes Friendship Children's friendships are at the center of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.Tom's family — Aunt Polly, Mary, and Sid — does not always appreciate him and does not figure into his rich imaginative life.However, Tom's friends — Joe Harper and Huck Finn in particular — look up to him precisely because he is so imaginative and adventurous.The boys see each other as they want to be seen, and together they create an exciting world of intrigue（阴谋）and adventure.The friendship between Tom and Huck especially is highlighted in the novel.Tom admires Huck for his freedom from adults' rules, and he knows that his association with Huck makes him appear daring, an image he relishes.Tom also cares about Huck, concerned that he is alone in the world.When the boys return from their pirating adventure to attend their own funerals, Tom and Joe are smothered with affection by their families while Huck stands awkwardly alone, with no one to welcome him home.Tom points out to Aunt Polly that “it ain't fair.Somebody's got to be glad to see Huck.” Tom and Huck share a deep belief in superstitions and a love of adventure, imagining themselves as pirates and robbers in partnership with one another.Tom is so loyal to Huck that he repeatedly disobeys Aunt Polly's orders not to play with Huck, and Tom proudly announces to the schoolmaster that he was late for school because he was playing with the forbidden Huck, even though he knows he will be punished for it.The boys often use dramatic conventions to represent their loyalty to one another.For example, after they secretly observe Injun Joe's murder of Dr.Robinson in the cemetery, Tom writes an oath that “they will keep mum about this and wish they may drop down dead in their tracks if they ever tell and Rot.” Tom and Huck then sign the oath with their own blood.Because Tom is a child of the community, and thus assured of adult protection, he feels safe enough to testify against Injun Joe in Muff Potter's murder trial.But Tom keeps secret Huck's knowledge of the same situation, because Huck fears Injun Joe's retaliation and knows he is without serious protection.Huck and Tom's friendship rises above the social conventions of St.Petersburg.They are friends because each likes the other for who he is, and it matters little to either that their society frowns upon their friendship.Imagination Tom Sawyer's imagination rules his life and shapes his world.He takes every opportunity to make a game of life, embarking on such romantic endeavors as digging for buried treasure or organizing his friends into a band of pirates with names like “the Black Avenger of the Spanish Main,” “Huck Finn the Red-Handed,” and “the Terror of the Seas.” Perhaps not always completely original in their imaginings, Tom and his friends play Robin Hood by reciting dialogue that they have memorized from the book.Although he claims to reject many of the rules of the adult world, Tom has his own clear rules about how pirates must behave, what social class robbers must come from, and how certain superstitions work.His imaginings may free him from his rulebound world, but they often place him in another such world.His imaginative world and his “real” world — the mundane life of St.Petersburg — do not often collide.Yet when these two worlds do collide — such as when Tom and Huck witness the murder in the cemetery, and when Tom realizes how badly he hurt Aunt Polly when he ran away to play pirates, and when Tom and Becky's adventure in the cave turns life-threatening — Tom is able to understand the limits of imagination.In each case, Tom's empathy for another person — Muff Potter, Dr.Robinson, Aunt Polly, Becky — causes him to realize that he needs to stop pretending and deal with the situation at hand.Truth and Falsehood The first words Tom Sawyer speaks in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer are a lie.Aunt Polly is looking for Tom and shouting his name, and when she finds him hiding in the closet and asks him what he is doing, he replies, in an obvious lie, “Nothing.” She points to the jam all over his mouth and hands and asks what it is, and he replies, “I don't know, aunt,” another obvious lie.Tom is thus introduced as a mischievous boy who gets into trouble, although Aunt Polly's laughter upon Tom's escape from her disapproval shows that his lies and disobedience are essentially unimportant to her.Tom lies frequently throughout the novel, mostly about where he's been or what he's been doing, and mostly to avoid getting into trouble.However, when telling the truth really matters, Tom knows he must not lie.When he first returns home after his pirating adventure, he feels bad about having hurt Aunt Polly by scaring her with his long absence, so he lies to her about having had a dream about her when he was away on his pirating adventure.When she later discovers that the story of the dream had all been a lie, Tom realizes that “what had seemed like a good joke before, and very ingenious merely looked mean and shabby now.” His conscience prods him finally to tell her the truth of what really happened.But this time, Aunt Polly doesn't believe him, and she refuses to until she finds the piece of bark in his jacket pocket with the note to her on it that he had said he had written.Tom's conscience again leads him to tell the truth when he decides he must help Muff Potter.Because he cannot in good conscience let Potter be convicted of Dr.Robinson's murder, Tom decides to be a witness at Potter's murder trial, even though he knows by doing so he places himself in some danger with Injun Joe.In spite of the ease with which lying comes to him, Tom's conscience and his ability to tell the truth when he should place him in stark contrast to Injun Joe.Injun Joe, a man without a conscience and thus capable of evil, lies and misrepresents himself for the purpose of personal gain.

I believe that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well the reader can relate to the story.This is definitely a book everyone can relate to.The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain.Tom Sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small town on the Mississippi River called St.Petersburg.The story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyer's life.Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm in the Middle, and Calvin and Hobbs.What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood.The book is filled with Tom's adventures playing pirates and war with his friend Joe Harper.Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the adults approve of.The book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child.It is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics.The whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood.The book is a little difficult to read at first.Personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book.Other than referring to persons of African decent in derogatory terms（which I'm sure uses terms even young children already know），the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages.I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.篇三：汤姆索亚历险记英文读后感

The first impression that the boy Tom gave me was a naughty, mischievous boy, just as what Aunt Polly said.He never lacked the curiosity to explore new places, sometimes even risking his life, which I did not dare to!There were some great adventures of him with Huck or Joe.Huck was an orphan, and Joe was Tom’s classmate.Everybody in the small village knew Tom, mainly for Tom’s—you know kind of gallantry!

I should tell you the adventures.The origin of the attempt was that Tom and Huck was getting curious to the world of outside, and they made an effort to run-away.However, when they were in the graveyard, some people appeared.They were Injun Joe, Huck’s father, named Potter, and a doctor.Tom and Huck quickly hid behind the bush, and they saw them digging the coffins out, probably finding something valuable.They did not realize that what they witnessed was a murder!Tom and Huck were extremely afraid, and they ran away rapidly.On the court, Potter was being accused of the murderer;however, Tom declared that it was Injun Joe who used Potter’s knife to kill the young doctor.On hearing this, Injun Joe broke the glass and ran away!This scared everybody, and Tom’s brother, Sid, said that he always heard Tom mumbling something when he was asleep, and sometimes even shouting.Indeed, the accident was fluttering everybody in the town with fear.Before, Tom once fell in love with a girl called Lawrence.And he showed off in front of the girl, trying to win the girl’s heart, but Lawrence ignored Tom’s appearance, and it made Tom sad.At present, Tom went for another girl for Becky.Yet, when Becky knew that Tom once loved Lawrence（it was probably childish thoughts），she refused Tom.Tom got so depressed that he resolutely committed the second escape.He made contact with Huck and Joe that afternoon, about where to meet, the code words of meeting, and the route, and so on and so forth.Each of them brought some food, and Huck brought some pipes（remind that Huck had no real home, and I had no ideas where he got the things）。At midnight, they met at the place, and they took a raft down the river.After drifting for about several hours, they finally reached the destiny.There they lived for about several weeks, and while everybody thought they were drowned, they had a great time.They were no problems of food or water shortages.They promised to be a pirate, and would live there forever.If you were out from your relatives for a long time, wouldn’t you miss home? It was the same for those children.After several weeks, Joe felt that he missed home very much, and Tom could not seem to stop him.On this, Tom brought Joe and Huck his secret.On one night, when the rest of the boys fell asleep（of course they slept outside），Tom crept from the camp, and headed toward the town.He sneaked to his aunt’s room, and hid under the bed, while everybody-Mary（Tom’s sister），Sid, Aunt Polly and Joe Harper’s mother were having a meeting.There were a lot of tears, about how the boys were killed, and how they would treat the boys if they ever lived again, such things.Tom almost wanted to get out of the bed and hug Aunt Polly, but he couldn’t.At last, everybody went to sleep.Tom went out from the bed, and flew to the camp.That was the secret— that the boys will go to their own funeral!

While the boys were outside, all of the people in the town were discussing about the accidents.The town was immediately covered with a sense of doom.So the funeral was raised.Everybody wore a black suit, and they prayed something along with the priest.Just then, they saw somebody entering the gate, and what they saw was unbelievable.Three young souls came out from their coffins and showed up in front of everybody!The change of the atmosphere was imaginable.Aunt Polly, Joe Harper’s mother, Mary and Sid were astounded to find that Tom came so vivid in front of them, and so Tom and Joe became a hero in the school, even in the town.The real adventures of Tom were finding the treasures.
