The character I chose to do my essay on from the book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; is Tom. If I had to pick three words of the top of my head that best describes him those words would be: fanciful, trickster, and adventurous. The reason I chose fanciful is because; Tom reads a lot of fiction books and books about fantasy. Whatever he reads he tries to live out in real life.
Since Tom reads fiction and fantasy books he lives by the laws of fantasy not reality. He also told Jim that he had to have a coat of arms before he gets out the shack. Tom said in all books the person escaping always left behind a coat of arms. The reason that I chose trickster for my second choice is because he showed examples through out the whole book of being a trickster, like when he stuck out the house with Huck and looked into the window and saw Jim sleeping so Tom decided to go in the house and take of his hat and hang it on the tree outside. So Jim thought that witches did it. Also when Jim was locked in the cabin and Tom knew that he was free but he didn’t let Jim know and made Jim think he wasn’t free and somehow they were going to have to break him out.
The last word I chose was adventurous the reason I chose adventurous was because all Tom had to do was steal the key and get Jim out but he said it was to easy and to boring he wanted it to be harder. Also Tom was willing to dig Jim out with spoons even it took weeks and years. The last thing that showed me he loved adventures and is adventurous is when Tom got shot he woke up the next morning exited and told Aunt Sally how they broke Jim out and how they stuck the spoons and stuff out the house to dig Jim out and it took them weeks and hours to do it, and after all that he said it was fun. Those are the reasons that I said that I would pick fanciful, trickster, and adventurous to describe Tom.
