They Still Love You

When you get into the most trouble you think is possible does it feel at all like the parent or gaurdian punishing you really loves you? A lot of the time it feels just the opposite and there's nothing you can do about it. Almost everyone has moments or days like this, but when things like that happen you have to know that they love you and realize that they have to do something to correct your mistake.

Tom always takes things to the extreme and when he feels that nobody loves him he runs away to Jackson's Island with his friends thinking that it will make people realize how much they appreciate him. Once he's back Tom feels atleast a little bit guilty for leaving his aunt thinking that he is dead, but then as he thinks more about it he decides that they deserve it for how they treated him. Although he got respect from his classmates and friends he really hurt his Aunt Polly for not telling her that he was leaving and this could've been avoided if he would've thought about it more before he left and realized that she still loved him even though she gets mad at him sometimes.

Going to Jackson's Island is one of many things that Tom did to upset Aunt Polly and there's many other events. Another thing Tom has done is play hooky when he's supposed to be doing his chores, so, with all of the trouble he gets into, of course Aunt Polly becomes livid with him and has to punish him for things he does wrong. Tom is always doing something mischevious so he obviously gets into trouble many times, but this makes him feel like Aunt Polly doesn't love him as much as she loves Sid or other relatives who are boring and always do as Aunt Polly says.

Many kids with other siblings feel like their parents don't love them as much as their siblings but you have to realize that they still do. You also have to realize that they can't let you do whatever you want and let you get away with it without any punishment. This idea is one that Tom Sawyer couldn't grasp when he decided to run away and I hope that nobody in real life could be that arrogant and oblivious to think somebody doesn't love you because they give you a punishment.
