Wrap-up of TAOTS
Well if you want ot be frank, sly, and altogether amusing, you could call TAOTS an ananagram or whatever and that would make my day. :O) It would make me, as an individual, feel also altogether amusing and surprised at my utter intelligence and HUMOR (although, Stephanie, you must admit you do have more of it :oD)
In the end, Mark Twain doesn't wrap up anything whatsoever. He simply calls this tall tale, as Mr. Newvine says, if you will, a history of a boy and had he gone any further it would have been the history of a man.
TOM Sawyer: Tom Sawyer is a very carefree young boy. He has many adventures and is always excited about being heroic, mischeivious, and daring. I do wonder whatever happened to his father, as Aunt Polly only mentions that he is her "dead sister's boy".
BECKY Thatcher: I did not enjoy Becky as a character in this book. Becky was very, very rude to Tom over a minute mishap on Tom's part, and was as well not of help when they were stuck in the cave. I was distraught to the max when Becky was "too weak" to help Tom find a way out. It really was quite stereotypical, if I do say so myself (and Stephanie, I am well-aware of the correct usuage of that word that is italicized and bolded, as I just showed you).
HUCKLEBERRY Finn: Huckleberry's name simply cheats you out of finding out his personalitlty while reading the book. I am SURE he named himself, as A) No one in their right mind would name their child after a small, spherical, pinkish-red berry that grows in the woods and B) Mark Twain doesn't relay the message that he has a mother, and his father is the town criminal or drunkard or something, so I doubt that his parents named him. Huckleberry (I prefer to call him by his full name, as "Huck" sounds too much like "hock" as in "hock a loogie", meaning "spit out a large phlegmy ovalular thing from one's inside of their throat") has Tom's dream life and although one must feel a wee bit of pity for him, he really does have a good life.
I was going to describe and opinionize all the main characters, but who doesn't have time? Me! so I will just end this post here.

By the by, I changed my blog skin to this template and I won't be using any other skin but ones on this site BECAUSE I don't find joy in looking at my blog anymore and it is too confusing and I didn't have comments. :O)
By the now, I know how you feel! Not having any comments, that is...
Ah yes, "the art class" *imagine my fingers curling around the words as if I was speaking*
Well, there is this one that is avalible where... :0 WAIT, my sphynx is crooked :/... anyway, pretty much the only one I can really do that would be worth while would be a "Teen Fashion Design" class which is from 4:30-6:30 on Thursdays from April 28-June 2 There are a total of 6 classes and it costs $100. Basically you learn creative and foudnational skills that are the backbone of fashion design. You get to illustrate them...I think...oh and "develop drawing and collage skills in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere." We get to go on a "field trip" to study trends. Yea, people ages 12-17 can participate. Good stuff! When school starts next year, we can do this more consistant art class in Bothell with more actual painting and all that...you know...makes-me-feel-like-I'm-more-than-a-withered-crabtree atmosphere! i think I want to take horsebackriding lessons this summer :)
And you guys thought fancy blog skins were cool. Psh looks like the retro original blog skins I've been using are now back! Hehe...
"Well if you want ot be frank, sly, and altogether amusing, you could call TAOTS an ananagram or whatever and that would make my day."
It's acronym BTW(just like BTW is) an anagram is a word scrambled up. Like an anagram of anagram is ganamar.
BTW sorry if there is like a double post I got the "This page can not be displayed" error thing...

I agree...i mean, what kind of a bone-marrowed-coocoo-funk would name their kid "Huckleberry"...wait, his father was the town drunkard...maybe there is a "special connection" :/
Time and confusion are colliding...I must depart! *WAIL*
Champ, I truly appreciate your kind, knowing wisdom on this anagram/acronym issue we were having.
Stephanie, I really will have to talk to you in person further on the art class thingamabob. I like your photo of the tiger chewing on what looks like a pumpkin, by the way. Horsebackriding lessons sound even more fun than an UNwithered crabtree!!!!!
And really, those skin-covered people that name their kids after food (like Gwyneth Paltrow naming her kid Apple) sadden me to the absolute end of my sanity.
Katie, any withered crabtree would know that my tiger is devouring a pumpkin! I can't even BELIEVE you would question the truth of this reality........hmph!
