It sings a song for freedom and children’s world. The author enjoys the boyhood.The book reflects the author's own thinking to the society and his dissatsifaction to the society and religion.Analysis of this novel from children’s perspective•1. Children's Naïveté (天真，幼稚天真，幼稚)and Innocence• Tom Sawyer who has the characteristics of children in general. Confronted with any kind of circumstances, Tom responds by making a game of it, by relying on his reading, by posing or acting out a part. •2.Playing Truant (旷课旷课)• He tries to truant by deceiving, but failed. •3.Love-affair •Mark Twain also writes about what children feel about those of the opposite sex. •4.Childish Imitation•Tom asks Becky for a kiss only because that is ritual he has read about in books when people get engaged. •5. Children's Curiosity Behavior• When Mark Twain creates Tom Sawyer and other characters in the story, he gives prominence to children's curiosity, attempting to capture the general feeling of young readers. •6.The Tendency to Heroism• Tom wishes to travel around the world, to be a soldier, a plainsman, a pirate .At the end of the story, after experiencing much terror, Tom, along with Huck, discovers the hidden treasure in the cave which makes Tom a rich and important person in the community. •7. Children's Idyllic Outlook of the World•For Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer is an attempt to idealize boyhood, to see in it his dream of peace and innocence that cannot endure in the adult world. Flexible, Varied, Fluid(流畅的流畅的)Mark Twain certainly has a flexible style; he can suit his words quite easily to the situation, whether he is describing the thoughts of Tom or expounding upon some lofty subject. That is to say, one of the most impressive aspects of his writing is the dialogue. Rather than try to describe it. Writing StyleWriting Style• Tom, having just barely survived an encounter with Injun Joe the night before, goes to talk with Huck:"Hello, Huck! ""Hello, yourself.“ [Silence, for a minute.]"Tom, if we'd 'a' left the blame tools at the dead tree, we'd 'a' got the money. Oh, ain 't it awful! ""'T ai n 't a dream, then, 't ain 't a dream! Somehow I most wish it was. Dog‘ d if I don't,Huck."(27.4-8)• Mark Twain renders the rhythm of the speech beautifully, using contractions and slang to give life to Tom and Huck's speech.Small touches,like the "we'd 'a'" and "dog'd" go along way toward making them sound like real boys.Even that bracketed(相等的) pause speaks volumes. Without suitable dialogue,all of Twain's observations and remarks would be like a cake without icing:still delicious,but not quite right.Tone•Humorous,Knowing•Although The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is by no means an autobiography,Mark Twain is most definitely writing from life experience.He sounds like…well,a fifty year-old man looking back at his childhood,and forming a narrative out of his memories.Memories of his youth in Missouri,of childish behavior and juvenile (少年的)fantasies;these are Mark Twain's raw materials.In retrospect(追溯),Mark Twain can coax the humor out of adolescent foibles,and his insights into the strange and sometimes contradictory psychology of Tom and his compatriots contributes both to the truth of his depictions and their humor.Mark Twain said something about his own work: Most of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred; one or two were experiences of my own, the rest of those boys who were schoolmates of mine. Huck Finn is drawn from life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from an individual; he is a combination of the characteristics of several boys, and therefore belongs to the composite order of architecture.
