In chapter 35 I just wanted to reach into the story and knock some sense into Tom!!! He was really getting on my nerves I started to think he had gone half crazy and wanted Huck to get caught letting Jim free! Why does that boy have to be so arrogant and naive all the time? It annoys me. It's rediculous how many times Huck would tell Tom "there aint no necessity for it" but Tom would get away with getting his way anyway.
Then we see Huck being influenced by Tom when he "stole a watermelon" but he was scolded and told to go pay the slaves for what he did, even though they didn't know. Huck has his own mind but he is trapped in the habit of letting Tom do the thinking for him when he's around, there's not as much arguing.
I found it really rediculous when Tom decided BEFORE they completely freed Jim and went running, they would "rush him away at the first there's an alarm." Excuse me, what?! He doesn't even care there's an actual, real life mission here. "I wish there was a moat to this cabin. If we get time, the night of the escape, we'll dig one." It's as if he's watching and creating a movie at the same time, or writing his own script for a book by stealing lines, characters, and events from multiple books and making it one big confusing mess.
