Mark Twain, a famous American writer and satirist, wrote many highly acclaimed books throughout the world. His masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, earned him recognition as one of the greatest writers America would ever produce.

Tom sawyer grows up in a small American town on the Mississippi river. The society is set up in a very distinct way in which its members are expected to adhere. The most important institution is the Church followed by the school. Tom hates both and at the beginning of the novel would do anything to avoid attending. Twain criticizes the church through events like when a beetle entertained the churchgoers because they were so bored of the sermon and also through the example of having boys and girls memorize bible verses for prizes. This remark about the boy who memorized the most bible verses, a "strain upon his mental faculties was too great, and he was little better than an idiot from that day forward" hints of the inefficiency of the Church (Twain 50). However, after Tom is involved in many dangerous adventures we begin to see a change in Tome through a growth in maturity, competence, and moral integrity. He also begins to see society in a different light as the novel progresses. Tom's adventures to Jackson's Island and McDougal's Cave allow Tom to remain outside of his society and form a valid opinion as to what role they play in his life. These adventures take him away from his society and form a different outlook on his relationship to the community. The community is almost a sanctuary for Tom in the end and he realizes the importance that it holds in his life. Society acts as a safe haven for Tom and after being secluded from the community Tom is aware that conforming to its rules and ways are worth the security.
While Tom’s role in the plot of the novel is small, his contribution to the overall message is integral. His nonsensical antics and wild imagination provide for amusing scenes and moments, however they share a deeper meaning that Twain means to convey to his audience. Representing the juxtaposition of a privileged man in Southern Antebellum society in the character of a young boy contributes to the satiric nature of the novel by providing a certain hilarity to the seriousness of Tom’s cruel
