Nothing much happened in this chapter they had some like the presentations that we do each year but a little different. We have it done in a few days and they were doing it in one night.
I liked the end of this chapter when it was talking about the cat the way it was described it was very funny and I think it was the best part of the chapter. Then it end with saying that vacation had come.
How long do you think the vacation time is? What season do you think they have it?

Chapter 20
I thought this chapter was little bit interesting, well the last couple of chapters because of the way they all fit together and how all of this happens in a day.
Tom tries to apologize to Becky and she accepts the apology but gets mad at Tom.
Then later she ends up ripping a page of a book that belongs to the teacher. Tom gets in trouble for the spilled ink and then he takes the blame for the book.
If you were Tom would you do the same thing for someone you like? Or even a friend?

Chapter 19
This chapter didn’t have anything exciting happen in it, just a sweet conversation between Tom and Aunt Polly. Aunt Polly finds the piece of bark in the pocket of Tom’s “pirating” coat.
What do you think about Aunt Polly’s use of the word sin?
I really don’t have much else.

Chapter 18
Well I think that this chapter really is quite an interesting exchange between Mary, Aunt Polly, and Tom, especially with the “dream” that Tom had. Tom has an amazing imagination and can really think on his toes.
Question, if you were Aunt Polly would you forgive Tom that quickly due to Tom telling you about his dream? Or do you think that she’s too big of a softie?
The next day Tom’s heading to school and he finds that he has a bunch of admirers. He’s really enjoying it, except he can’t seem to get the attention of Becky. He tries numerous attempts to get her attention and then switches tactics, this time making her jealous.
Question: Do you think that Becky and Tom will be able to set things straight?
So I can’t wait till the next couple chapters, the picnic is quite a lot of fun…

Chapter 17
This chapter starts Saturday afternoon, when Becky Thatcher is in the school yard and starts talking to herself about how she misses Tom and then some of the other students join her and all going back and forth say who Tom, Joe , or Huck last.
Monday they had the funeral for the boys. The minister starts service and after a while everyone becomes sad and a lot of people begin to cry the door opens and minister sees them come in and he's surprised and he probably can't believe his eyes. Tom, Joe, and Huck come in and everyone was happy to see Joe and Tom. Not a lot of people were so happy for seeing Huck, so Tom takes Huck and says to his aunt "Aunt Polly, it ain't fair. Somebody's got to be glad to see Huck." Then Aunt Polly says to Huck "I'm glad to see you."
The chapter ends with everyone being happy at least for the most part.
Do you think that the town was little upset with the boys?
You know getting them all worried and thinking that they died and then come the day of their funeral.

Chapter 16
Joe starts to feel homesick but Tom tries to talk him out of it, and soon Huck starts missing his home too. So Tom tells them what he was planning and then they get over the homesick part and do some of the actives that they did before.
Then a couple of days later Tom and Joe want to learn how to smoke a pipe, so Huck makes them a pipe and the smoke. Later after the smoke both Tom and Joe got sick but they were trying to hide it from Huck.
The next day it starts to rain and just a light rain, a thunder storm with heavy rain, they left camp. When the storm was over they went back to camp and everything that they had was soaked. So after the sun comes up they found a place to rest that wasn't wet and fell asleep.
Tom wakes up and starts felling homesick again bur then he comes up with the idea of becoming or acting like Indians. So they cover themselves in mud. Then they make separate tribes and started was with each other. When dinner comes they head back to camp and make peace with one another over a smoke. And two of them start wishing that they stay pirates. Mark Twain doesn't say who, but I'm guess it was Tom and Joe that wanted to stay pirates because last time they smoked they got sick. This time they were able to have a smoke without getting sick.
That's pretty much of the chapter ends.
If you had the choice to hang out with your two best friends on an island without any grown ups or any worries would you, and if so what would you do?
Now this is assuming that your two best friends are the same gender as you. And you are Tom's age which is around ten.

Chapter 15
Tom gets his way to a ferry and gets on it, to go home. He gets to his aunt's house and he sees his Aunt, Sid, Mary, and Joe's mother in the sitting room, which I'm guessing it's like a living room, but not sure. Anyway he sees them talking and crying over Joe and Tom.
Aunt Polly and Joe's Mother were talking about the things that Tom and Joe did that was foolish. I can't think of any other word but foolish. While they were talking, Tom was thinking about how he would love to get out from under the bed and show his aunt that he is alive but decided not to.
Tom starts to leave after he knows Aunt Polly is asleep, he blows out the candle, kissed her, and then on the way out he locks the door.
Then Tom gets back to camp while they are having breakfast. After that Tom finds a hiding place to sleep while Joe and Huck going fishing.
What do you think Tom is feeling and the end of the chapter besides sadness and tiredness?

Chapter 14
The beginning of this chapter freaked me out a little; I rather see the bugs in real then read about them because it freaks me out more reading about them.
They all get up; Joe cuts up some bacon, while Tom and Huck go fishing. They have their breakfast, and then they went off exploring and swimming. Later in the afternoon they get back to camp and start talking and realizes that they all miss the home or what seems like home, but they don't let the others know that. They hear a sound so the go to find what it is.
So they find what is making the sound and after thinking of what was happening they realize that someone drowned.
They start to feel a little happy because they found out that the town was actually missing them, it's what Joe and Tom wanted all along.
And the chapter ends with Tom sneaking off while Joe and Huck are asleep.
For those of you who haven’t read ahead. Where do you think Tom is headed?
Can you image yourself doing what they did? Running away for whatever reason and then finding out that they people you left are worried sick about you, but you still stay hidden?

Chapter 13
Tom gets depressed and along with Joe Harper so they make a plan to be brother and never leave each other and also the agree to run away , Later they meet up with Huck and the are agree to meet at midnight and begin the adventure. So they all agree to be pirates and then get a boat and leave for Jackson's Island.
On the way there they all begin to get a little sad, and then when they get to the island they become very content. They set up a camp area so they could rest and sleep for a little bit.
Joe and Tom have a hard time getting to sleep because they start to feel guilty because of what they did. They both say their prayers before going to bed because then didn't want to be struck by lighting.
Tom stole some meet and felt bad about after he said he's prayer then he said to himself, I'm amusing, anyway he say that their life of piracies wouldn't be including stealing.
How long do you think Tom, Joe, and Huck will actually stay on the island?

Chapter 12
A lot happened in this chapter, at least I think so. It starts with Becky getting sick and missing school and then Tom gets sick. Aunt Polly get really concerned and tries a lot of different methods to get him well but nothing really worked. Then Aunt Polly hears of something called a pain killer and orders it and gives it to Tom who later gives it to the cat Peter. I really liked the way Mark Twain describes the sight of Peter going crazy and bouncing off the walls. And then taking t he flowers with him out the window. The chapter leaves off with Tom back at school.
How much time do you think has past in this chapter alone?
I'm think maybe a couple of weeks to a month but what is your opinion on the time frame of time that is passing.

The Town gets wind of what has happened. Muff Potter gets thorwn in to jail and Tom comes to see him every other day or something like that. Then Tom starts talking in his sleep, and keeps Sid up during the night. Then the chapter ends with Twain talking about how the town dosen't really like Injun Joe.
