i don't know either, i personally found it utterly boring and found no significance in plot, theme or how it was written.

Actually, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a very important piece of American literature. It describes what life was like in the past and how different things were, but in the point of view of a 12 year old boy, Tom Sawyer. Tom is a very creative character who goes on many adventures and gets himself in heaps of trouble. It's a great adventure book that many people appreciate. It's important because its so well written and has a great sense of humour to it. Tom (the character) is also very important because he is a boy like all the others at the time. He's full of adventure and mischief, but still has a strong conscience. Hope this helped :)

Tom Sawyer can be seen as a hero in literature due to his adventurous spirit, cunning wit, and ability to outsmart adults. Despite his mischief-making, he ultimately shows growth, maturity, and a willingness to help others. Through his escapades and experiences, he embodies qualities of bravery, resourcefulness, and a sense of justice that resonate with readers.

As a character, Tom Sawyer represents the mischievous, adventurous young child. He is easily relatable, with his immature antics and infatuation with a classmate. However, while Tom does go through some emotional and physical development, and faces hardships, he does not serve as a role model, and Twain's purpose for the novel was to entertain.
