A Response to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The painting is finally finished after many treacherous hours of hard work and the results are incredible. Though the long process of making this masterpiece you have created quite a mess. There is paint covering the room, wrapper and bags from snacks blanket the floor. After the long process of creating the picture, comes the even longer process of cleaning up. The consequences of having made an enormous mess are, having to clean it all up. In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom often has to suffer from the consequences for his actions. Consequences are created with everything that is done, and consequences must be faced whether they are good or bad.
Throughout the book, the consequences for Tom’s actions vary greatly. Small consequences could be as simple as having to clean up a mess, but sometimes consequences can get to the point of possibly going to jail. Being the trouble maker that he is, Tom cons his piers out of tickets. He ends up getting enough tickets to earn his bible. Then when the judge asks Tom a simple question having to do with the bible he suffers the consequences of lying. “‘Now I know you’ll tell me,’ said the lady. ‘The names of the first two disciples were—‘ ‘DAVID AND GOLIATH!’” Tom proves to everyone that he was lying and traded for the tickets. The consequences for his actions, are losing the privilege of earning his first bible and making a fool out of himself in front of everyone.
Following making a fool out of himself, Tom is tries to avoid going to school by being in pain from his tooth. Because Tom is in such pain, Aunt Polly decides that the tooth must be pulled out therefore the pain the tooth has been causing Tom, instantly disappears. This is a very minor consequence compared to what Tom causes later on in the book. Most young children over exaggerate and then have to suffer the consequences for their actions. A child once faked being sick in order to leave school before an important test. When he was sent to the nurse, she concluded that he be sent home. Once the child was home they immediately began jumping off walls. This child’s consequences happened to be suffering the wrath of their infuriated parents, which had to return home from work in order to care for their “sick” child.
Later on in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Huck and Tom go treasure hunting. Although to them just like kids in present day it is just a game. The boys dig in various places in their search for the buried treasure. During their escapade Tom and Huck forget their tools and overlook the fact that they do not fill the holes back up. Though they attempted not to the boys exhaust their energy and renounce their escapade. Consequences happen to show up to much of a disadvantage in this case because after the two boys gave up, Injun Joe finds thousands of dollars right where they had been digging.
Many times people do not understand consequences and tend to underestimate the power of them. Though no one may be putting the consequences into action immediately, they may show up in the near future. With everything that is done there is a consequence to go along with it. An outcome is a similar thing to a consequence. They always appear, but are never thought about before the action takes place.
