I honestly dont know anything about the 1800 time period. All I know about Tom Sawyer is that there is a book about him, and its Mrs. Nadell's boyfriend or something like that.

ummm okay this might be a hard blog because i know absolutely nothing on tom sawyer. at least i know i will get something out of the book. early 1800s- they obviously had slavery then, most of the states (besides the original colonies ones)were forming. uhh im guessing that life was kinda like the little house on the prairie with the settlers and such.
ReplyDeleteThat is was the time where all the hicks were havin good times and writing so called "books". Life was actually probably really exciting, with having good times with family and kids not being addicted to their phones and such. I don't know anything about tom sawyer except that its facing a book ban

Mississippi in the 1800's was about the time Africans were still enslaved and Abe Lincoln started his political careers and was president. He talked of independance, also the population of the Native Americans plummeted as land owners demanded they be removed from land. Most died from disease, warfar, or relocation. But all in all in Twains stories he made a point of showing how the Miss. River was the boarder between North and South but it also united them. And some times the distiction had dangerous results like the civil war.

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee"
-William Shakespeare
Life in Mississippi in the 1800's would be dirty most likely. It was also very racist toward black people

I don't know about the background. But I know a little bit about Tom Sawyer. Tom Sawyer was a character that Mark Twain created for the Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

p.s
jazz, must you be so poetic?
Yep, its funny 'cause shakespear has nothing to do with the 1800's whatsoever. I just felt like putting that in, I am a huge poetry fan.

Back in the early 1800's it was very different than today obviously. There was no technology, there was a lot of farming, & a lot more racism. I don't really know much more than that. I don't know much about Tom Sawyer either. But isn't it the sequeal or something to "Huckleberry Finn?" Maybe not....
ReplyDeleteKaiah McLaren
Back in the 1800's life was very diffrent, the was no iphones or i pad. and what i know about tom sawyer is that he was a clever kid in the story.
ReplyDeletekaliko
Around the time of Tom Sawyer, racial segregation and racism were very prevalent. Personally, I imagine it to be a sort of "simpler time" where everything was easier and less clouded by technologies. However, this idea was probably derived from books like Tom Sawyer which I've previously read. In actuality, it was a very difficult time for minorities. Abraham Lincoln was president around that time, I believe. Also, as mentioned by pretty much every person here so far, it was very unclean and people didn't put that much value on sanitization. This probably caused a terrible spread of diseases.

It was a very different time back then. It also had very unusual language compared to nowadays. im looking foward to reading it, it seems like an intresting book!
