Your essay is a bit like the book. Starts out with a direct indication that you feel betrayed by the book and finished with how much you love the book. It has me confused if you feel betrayed or are entangled with some love hate relationship with it.

I guess it all is a metaphor for real life where there are no perfect wrap ups. Despite our best efforts and convictions true resolution often never happens.

To clarify yes, it is a love hate relationship. I felt betrayed by the end of the book. I felt like we all got trolled. I feel like Twain brough Tom back just be cause he was so well liked. I saw Tom though as a shallow kid who doesnt know yet what living in the real world is like.

and I guess so, thats a good metaphor. Cool connection you made by the way.
