Mark Twain reveals how Tom matures with his experiences with Injun Joe,
Becky, and Huck Finn in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. In this story, Tom Sawyer wants his life to be exciting and always fun. With his imagination and youth, he is almost unstoppable when he plays, fights, and hides. Mark Twain displays in this story how
Tom evolves. He grows from an immature, prankster boy, to a mature and proud man.
There are many themes in this book but there is one that is most special. The main theme of this book is Loss of Innocence. This theme is the main because in the story, the author concerns that Tom always wants to play and through his adventures, he ends up as a thoughtful and respectable person.
Loss of Innocence is the most important

This theme first makes its debut when
Becky Thatcher, a girl Tom likes, rejects Tom when he asks her to ‘get engaged’ with him. Becky says no and starts to cry because she thinks he still loves someone else.
Tom is immature when it comes to interacting with others and doesn’t understand how life works yet. Not everything goes perfectly in the real world. This scene shows how the tables can turn with one mistake and everyone can interpret things differently. Any situation can go wrong and people can do many things unexpected or frightening.
The theme also makes an appearance when friends, Tom and Huck witness Dr.
Robinson’s death by Injun Joe. Instead of going to tell everyone automatically about what they had seen, they decide to pretend they have not seen anything by doing a blood oath. Instead of doing the immature way of telling everyone as fast as they could and not thinking of consequences, they waited until the right time to strike. Since Injun
Joe accused Muff Potter of doing the crime, Muff Potter had a trial instead of Injun Joe.
When Tom was called up to Muff Potter’s trial, he reveals the truth of who killed
Dr. Robinson. Even though Tom was scared of Injun Joe, he still told the truth
