Using the document below, or the hard copy that Mrs. Bandeian provided during class, create an internet search history for Tom Sawyer based on his activities in chapters nineteen through twenty-five. For this activity, pretend that Tom has used, and is comfortable using, his computer and all related accessories (mouse, keyboard, etc.). Each entry in the search history that you create for Tom should be supported by a corresponding quote from pages 133 - 166 in __//The Adventures of Tom Sawyer//__. You should end up with ten search history entries and ten supporting quotes, total. Your entries do NOT need to be in the form of actual web addresses (example: http://www.webpage.com). Instead, your entries can be phrases or topics that Tom might be interested in based upon his activities in chapters nineteen through twenty-five. Feel free to be creative! Follow the format below.

At the end of chapter twenty-eight, (on page 180) Tom asks Huck Finn where he plans to sleep for the night. Huck replies, "'In Ben Roger's hayloft. He lets me, and so does his pap's niggerman, Uncle Jake. I tote water for Uncle Jake whenever he wants me to, and any time I ask him he gives me a little something to eat if he can spare it. That's a mighty good nigger, Tom. He likes me, becuz I don't ever act as if I was above him. Sometimes, I've set right down and eat // with // him. But you needn't tell that. A body's got to do things when he's awful hungry he wouldn't want to do as a steady thing.'" Based upon these quotes, write a two paragraph response (of at least five sentences per paragraph, or ten sentences total) that answers the following questions: 1) What does Tom believe that the social structure is in the town? Does he believe that Huck is his equal or that Huck is beneath him? 2) What does Huck believe about the social structure in the town? Whom does Huck feel is socially beneath him? 3) Which character, Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn, do you think treats people with more respect? Why?
