Tom Sawyer satirizes adult conventions to paint an idyllic picture of boyhood life. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is set in the s in the town of St. Petersburg, which is based on Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived as a boy.
In the novel, Tom Sawyer has several adventures, often with his friend Huckleberry Finn. Originally a commercial failure, the book ended up being the best selling of any of Twain's works during his lifetime. Though overshadowed by its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the book is considered by many to be a masterpiece of American literature. It was one of the first novels to be written on a typewriter.
A fun-loving boy, Tom skips school to go swimming and is made to whitewash his aunt's fence for the entirety of the next day, Saturday, as punishment. In one of the most famous scenes in American literature, Tom cleverly persuades the various neighborhood children to trade him small trinkets and treasures for the "privilege" of doing his tedious work, using reverse psychology to convince them it is an enjoyable activity.
Tom falls in love with Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town and the daughter of a prominent judge. Tom pursues Becky, eventually persuading her to get engaged by kissing him.
