Why does Tom have to make things so difficult? Why does he believe that Jim should tame a snake or water a flower with his tears? Why did they eat sawdust? Why are there different critters in the shed with Jim? Is this necessary? I almost feel like Tom is try to stall the plan to get Jim out and free him, but after reading further I don't think he is. Tom really just wants the rush of rebellion and he probably wants to be remembered for his crazy schemes. Tom wouldn't have been shot in the leg if he would have stalled so long, but then again he is proud of it. Every scar has an interesting story behind it.
It's is hard to understand how black people were treat back when they were more property than a person, to be honest I don't believe that this book shows how poorly they were treated. In this book Tom and Huck think that Jim is just like a white man, he is as true as any man should be. Even after Tom is shot Jim goes back with the boys to Sally's and Silas' house were there identity is revealed but the boys tell them that Jim is a free man because it was in his owners will.
In these chapters there was not much that happened. If there would be anything that I didn't like it would be that reason exactly. Tom just kept on stalling the escape process and became friends with Jim. Also, I don't really like how Mark Twain makes Tom's relatives, Sally and Silas, so clueless. They are grown ups! I could tell that the boys were up to something
