Tom Sawyer Chapters 7-9

Tom Sawyer hated mondays. It meant a whole week of school. He decided that he would come up with a reason that he couldn't attend school. He knew that he had a loose tooth and thought that maybe if he had his aunt pull it and get to say home but he knew that this would hurt much more then faking a broken toe. So early in the morning he fell out of his bed and groaned louder and louder until his aunt came upstairs. He told her that he thought that his toe was broken or badly infected. But his aunt didn't buy into his faking. She told him he wasn't getting out of school and he was going to get his tooth pulled. 

After Tom had his tooth pulled, he walked to school and everyone was amazed by the gap in his mouth. He seemed to be the center of attention and he liked it. He also talked to a kid who had a dead cat and he was telling him how the dead cat could cure warts. He also had four other stories how you could cure warts. They were all superstitious and untrue. It just shows how much of an imagination Tom and his friends have. He also started drawing a picture for the new girl in school eventually writes that he loves her and she smacked her and telling him that he was bad. But Thomas knew that she was satisfied.
