The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Mark Twain · 1876
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

What truth does the innocence of children playing outside the rules made by adults reflect?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first met Tom, the mischievous rascal along the banks of the Mississippi, the fierce thirst for adventure of a childhood I had long forgotten woke again within me. Tom's cunning, transforming the dreary punishment of whitewashing a fence into a delightful game his friends came to crave, overturns one's whole way of seeing the world. The cheerful rebellion that mocks the hypocritical world of adults shines through.

— ONGO · Curator
"Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do."
Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
"일이라는 것은 의무적으로 해야만 하는 것이고, 놀이라는 것은 의무적으로 할 필요가 없는 것이다."
