汤姆索亚历险记读后感英文版( 三 )


Not only the children but also the adult cannot survive Tom’s wisdom. Remember how our pirates returned from Jackson’s island?
" There was a rustle in the gallery, which nobody noticed; a moment later the church door creaked; the minister raised his streaming eyes… the congregation rose and stared while the three dead boys came marching up the aisle…"（Chapter 18） Scaring and somewhat astonishing, right? Why didn’t these boys return earlier since they had been grief homesick and relief their families who had been repenting for the loss of them? Perhaps many adults may condemn them as being naughty and ungrateful.
But, consider it for a moment and you will find that this is again a strategy of Tom’s. A funeral is a solemn occasion sybolizing the mortal end of a person. grief and praying has apparently been the theme for Aunt Polly and the villegers. The sudden revival of the begoners would surely makes them cherish them all the more. Under such circumastances, Tom would surely save himself scoldness and punishment and by the way, elevate him to the-apple-of-the eye position for the moment. That would sound kind of ironic for the adults since they had been fooled with by these three boys. But sorry, he is Tom and you cannot readily prepare for it.
Second, Tom’s courage for starting an adventure life. Rebelling seems to have been deeply rooted in American literature, and we can also find this quality in Tom. He hated Sunday school. He hated going to the church and being tortured by the miniser’s preaching. He hated being misunderstood by Aunt Polly… He hated his life in St. Petersburg. He had desperately wanted to break away from the old life together with its traditions, authority and misunderstanding.Yet being rebelling is not enough for an adventure career. It’s the courage to get started that matters. Tom has it. He dares to seperate himself from the protection （though very little） of anut Polly. He dares to confront all the risks （get lost or even get killed） of the would-be life.
Third, the boy’s ability to manage the personnel. To succeed a pirate career, Tom knew far better that he cannot make it alone.To begin with, he had to find his partner. See who he had included in this pirate group? It’s Joe Harper and Huckleberry Fin. Why did Tom chose them and nobody else? The truth is as follows. Joe had just been whipped by his mother for drinking some cream while he had never tasted. He had firmly believed that she was tired of him and wished him to go. Any children want to be loved and any denial of love would bring them suffering. Defintely, Joe wants to break away from this suffering and living a pirate life is a pretty good way out. And Huck. He was an orphen and "don’t even get enough to eat". To be a pirate or not makes no difference to Huck.
Fourth, Tom’s his knowledge about Adventure. As for where they should go for treasures, Tom gave his opinion--- "It’s hid in mighty paticular places, somethimes on islands, sometimes in rotten chests under the end of a limb of an old dead tree, just where the shadow falls at midnight, but most under the floor in haunted huses." Tom also gave his reasons why treasures could be found in the haunted houses---"They most always put in a dead man when they bury a treasure under a tree, to look out for it." While reading this part, I had been wondering whether they could succeed. The thing is that they made it because Injun Joe really had hid the treaures in the haunted house. I couldn’t give them a big round of applouse. Another case in point is his adventure with Becky in the cave. They had got lost and were in a dire need to find the way out. See what Tom had done---"He made a smoke—mark for future guidance and started upon their quest" "He took a kite line from his pocket, tied it to a projection…" How calm and clever is our hero! I think his background knowledge about adventure has, to a large extent, contributed to his success.
