The Main Character’s Maturity in Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Supervised by Raden SM. Assagaf and Abbas). This thesis aims to discuss Tom's maturity process to solve the conflicts through his life full of extraordinary experiences and adventures. Although the main character is a boy, he already has ability to face all the experiences. It shows that he is able to reach maturity in his very young age. The author uses a Structural Approach in analyzing this research. Structural literary approach is an approach that analyzes the intrinsic literary works contained in literary works, then to related the conflicts and maturity contained within the main character, the author uses the Psychoanalysis Theory. The author uses descriptive analysis that describes what is contained in the literary work in the form of analysis. Through the analysis, the writer finds that Tom Sawyer is a mischievous boy who often gets and out into troubles. He is also an imaginative, lazy, full of curiosity, and cowardly. Most of them are clearly seen in his speech, his attitude, and his thought in facing his life. Moreover, the analysis shows that the boy experiences some conflicts with other characters; they are Aunt Polly, Huckleberry Finn, and Becky Thatcher. Those are the most important conflicts which help him mature. The conflicts with those other characters change Tom’s mind and attitude. His understanding toward problem in his childhood shows that his maturity begins to attain. Moreover, Tom’s maturity is seen in his self-evaluation, his ability to deal with frustration, and his sense of responsibility. Those criteria prove that his maturity process is already proven in this study. Keyword: Maturity, The Main character’s, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer viii ABSTRAK IMA ASMIRAWATI. 2017. Kedewasaan dari Tokoh Utama dalam Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Dibimbing oleh Raden SM. Assagaf dan Abbas) Skripsi ini bertujuan untuk mendiskusikan proses kedewasaan Tom untuk menyelesaikan konflik yang dialaminya melalui kehidupannya yang penuh dengan pengalaman-pengalaman yang luar biasa serta petualangannya. Walaupun tokoh utama tergolong seorang anak, dia mampu menghadapi semua permasalahannya. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa Tom telah sampai pada kedewasaan di usianya yang masih sangat muda. Penulis menggunakan Pendekatan Structural dalam menganalisis penelitian ini. Pendekatan structural sastra merupakan pendekatan yang menganalisis karya sastra dari segi intrinsik yang terdapat dalam karya sastra, kemudian untuk menganalisis konflik dan kedewasaan yang terdapat dalam diri tokoh utama, penulis menggunakan Teori Psikoanalisis. Penulis menggunakan Analisis Deskriptif yaitu menggambarkan apa yang terdapat dalam karya sastra dalam bentuk analisis. Penulis menemukan bahwa Tom Sawyer adalah anak yang nakal yang selalu membuat masalah. Ia juga anak yang mempunyai banyak imajinasi, malas, penuh dengan keingintahuan dan penakut. Penggambaran tokoh Tom Sawyer ini terlihat jelas dari perkataannya, tingkah lakunya serta dalam pemikirannya dalam menjalani kehidupan. Lebih lanjut, analisis ini menunjukkan bahwa ia mengalami banyak konflik dengan karakter karakter lain; mereka adalah Aunt Polly, Huckleberry Finn, dan Becky Thatcher. Konflik tersebut merupakan konflik yang paling pokok dalam cerita ini yang nantinya dapat mendewasakan Tom. Konflik-konflik dengan karakter lain telah merubah pikiran dan tingkah laku pada diri Tom. Pengertiannya terhadap masalah di masa kecilnya menunjukkan bahwa kedewasaannya sudah mulai tercapai. Lebih lanjut, kedewasaan Tom terlihat jelas pada kemampuan evaluasinya, pada kemampuan dalam mengatasi kekecewaan, dan pada pengertiannya tentang tanggungjawab. Semua criteria tersebut membuktikan adanya proses kedewasaan Tom dalam studi Keyword: Maturity, The Main character’s, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer ix TABLE OF CONTENTS TITLE………………………………………………………………………………i AGREEMENT PAGES...................................................................................

    Department of English Amiable Humor and Dual Address in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Christoffer Molander Bachelor’s Degree Project Literature Spring Term, 2017 Supervisor: Giles Whiteley Abstract The humor of Mark Twain has long fascinated his readers. Critics such as Messent (2007), Budd (2005), Gerber (1988) and Camfield (2005) have all analyzed Mark Twain’s humor to reveal nuances and to help further the understanding of what makes Twain’s writing humorous. However, there is a distinct gap in the research so far conducted investigating Twain’s humor in relation to young readers, which this paper will begin to address. Twain’s novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (2007) poses a relevant subject for this research as Twain explicitly (in the preface to the novel) professes to write both for children and adults simultaneously. Writing in such a way can be categorized as either “double address” or “dual address”, understanding these terms according to the definitions of Barbara Wall (1991). In this paper I will argue that Mark Twain manages to create “dual address” in Tom Sawyer by using what Greg Camfield (2005) calls “amiable humor” and constructing scenes out of childhood in order to produce delight and nostalgia. By reading closely excerpts of the book and analyzing Twain’s specific use of humor through three prominent theories—superiority theory, relief theory and incongruity— it becomes possible to identify what the implied reader is meant to find humorous, and therefore if Twain manages to establish a “dual address”. An understanding of Twain’s humor from the perspective of both young and adult reader furthers our understanding of the novel by revealing Twain’s implementation of complex “dual address” narration and its implications.

    Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn As Anti Racist Novel

    Journal of Literature, Languages and Linguistics www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8435 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.46, 2018 Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn as Anti Racist Novel Ass.Lecturer Fahmi Salim Hameed Imam Kadhim college for Islamic science university, Baghdad , Iraq "Man is the only Slave. And he is the only animal who enslaves. He has always been a slave in one form or another, and has always held other slaves in bondage under him in one way or another.” - Mark Twain Abstract Mark Twain, the American author and satirist well known for his novels Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer , grew up in Missouri, which is a slave state and which later provided the setting for a couple of his novels. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn are the two most well-known characters among American readers that Mark Twain created. As a matter of fact, they are the most renowned pair in all of American literature. Twain’s father worked as a judge by profession, but he also worked in slave-trade sometimes. His uncle, John Quarles, owned 20 slaves; so from quite an early age, Twain grew up witnessing the practice of slave-trade whenever he spent summer vacations at his uncle's house. Many of his readers and critics have argued on his being a racist. Some call him an “Unexcusebale racist” and some say that Twain is no where even close to being a racist. Growing up in the times of slave trade, Twain had witnessed a lot of brutality and violence towards the African slaves.

The frost was working out of the ground, and out of the air, too, and it was getting closer and closer onto barefoot time every day; and next it would be marble time, and next mumbletypeg, and next tops and hoops, and next kites, and then right away it would be summer and going in a-swimming. It just makes a boy homesick to look ahead like that and see how far off summer is.

    Mark Twain, the Dialogic Imagination, and the American Classroom Drew

    Kansas English, Vol. 98, No. 1 (2017) Mark Twain, the Dialogic Imagination, and the American Classroom Drew Clifton Colcher Abstract Mark Twain is often read as a provincial realist or naturalist whose works are disseminated in simplified versions as children’s stories or seen as humorous social criticism of the southern United States and its dialects. This article focuses on two of Twain’s novels—A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (1889) and No. 44, the Mysterious Stranger (published posthumously with various titles)—in order to focus on the more modern, less provincial, novelistic aspects of Twain’s writing. The theories of Mikhail Bakhtin provide the background for a characterization of the novelistic nature of these works in an effort to re-focus Twain criticism away from realist or naturalist analysis and toward semiotic and structural considerations. This essay functions as an introductory-level presentation of Bakhtinian analysis and Twain criticism, as well as a reimagining of the role of Twain’s writings in the classroom, especially in light of recent controversies surrounding the language used in works like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Of paramount importance to this argument are the temporal, spatial, formal and thematic coordinates of the two books, and the assertion that they conform to Bakhtin’s conception of the novel and how it radically differs from other forms. Keywords Mark Twain, Mikhail Bakhtin, semiotics, novelism, American literature, literary theory, pedagogy, literary criticism, modernism, realism, structuralism Novels like A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur’s Court and No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger raise problematic questions for Twain scholars because they directly approach more philosophical human concerns while, at times, casting off the sarcastically humorous facade that characterizes Twain’s work in general.

Anderson from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Perhaps you’ve heard of a certain clever and witty author named Samuel The Story Clemens? Well, if you haven’t, don’t worry. Most folks know him by his pen name of Mark Twain. Twain introduces our play by stirring up a chance meeting between two of his well-loved characters—Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The play proceeds as Tom and Huck delightfully reminisce about their zany adventures as boys. Recounting episodes of their boyhood prattles, Tom re-lives his rascally and mischief-maker ways only to be accompanied by the best friend a boy could ever have—Huck Finn. Whether Tom and Huck are using ‘spunk water’ for removal of the common wart, trying to spot a ghost lurking in a graveyard, or searching for a buried treasure, they are sure to stir up some mischief. The story continues to unfold as the two roguish adventurers plot against the villainous Injun Joe.
