The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
There are consequences for every action we take in life. Is telling truth when it matters most worth the consequences it may bring?
After the trial in Chapter 23, Tom and Huck are very scared that Injun Joe will come
after them. The narrator reveals that, “Daily Muff Potter’s gratitude made Tom glad he had spoken;
but nightly he wished he has sealed up his tongue” (Twain 139).
