The Characters of Tom Sawyer

Tom Sawyer: One word that best describes Tom is mischievous. Who spends most of his time getting into trouble with his friends and trying to get out. I still believe he has good heart with a strong conscience, and as time passes my bet is that he will begin to mature.

Huckleberry Finn: Huck is the pariah. He is 14 years old like Tom, and has nothing better to do during the day so he is bound to get into trouble. Especially with all his lies. His dad was a Acoholic so he didn't grow up in the best home and that is why he is such a miscreant. Huck is also shunned by the society but envied by local town boys because of his freedom.

Aunt Polly: Tom's Aunt and guardian. A simple kindhearted old lady who i guess you could say struggles with giving love to her nephew Tom but also disciplining him. In the end i think all she wants from Tom and Sid is to be appreciated and loved.

Injun Joe: Injun was violent, he commited murder became a robber and his motivation was revenge. Half Native and half White he suffered socialy and my guess is because of his race.

Becky Thatcher: Tom's new lover. A new girl in town who he decided to get "engaged" to once he left Amy Lawerence. But once Becky finds out about Amy shes runs off crying. And that is when they started going through whatever it took to make eachother jealous.
