He returns from the Island on his funeral so that people will be glad to seem him and praise and love him for just simply being alive. He knows that they will have loving reactions because they receive the great surprise that he's alive.

Huck and Tom are very sweet boys but they are racist and immuture. While some people are racist it is wrong and Samuel Clemens is trying to show that there are some sick people in the world who believe slaves should be allowed and that racism is not good. Back in the 1800's when this book was supposed to take place there were more people who were leaning towards the side of slavery because that was the " Status Quo " back then, though now the words that Huck use are cruel, were okay to use and in fact the people in those times were encouraged to use those words. Some of these words were also in " Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry ".

Answer 2

One example of how Tom show's maturity is at the end of the novel, when he convinces Huck to go back and live with the Widow Douglas again and to give her another chance. He says that he should be able to deal with the way she lives because he took her in.

Also, without knowing it, Tom is a lot wiser and cleverer than any of the other kids his age, including Huck. This is because he knows how to decieve others. Without others knowing it, Huck's manipulation is a powerful weapon that he constantly uses to his benefit, though he is oblivious to how it harms others.

Of course, that aspect can be argued as immature because he's using his intelligence to his own advantage.
