i noticed In chapter 37, Huck meantions "[going] for the woods till the weather moderated." He was talking about the aunt and how she was making a storm a-brew, but in the first chapter Huck called the woods his place of escape. A place where he felt closest to his old way of life. The quote that Tom got out of a book "the more haste the less speed." Should be that kid's motto: he creates diversions and greater challenges.
Then it really made me wonder what kind of books Tom was into when he tells Jim to "Tame [the rattlesnake]...Every animal is grateful for kindness and petting, and they wouldn't think of burting a person that pets them." Sounds to me like he's into snowwhite, poohbear, bambi, and the fox and the hound!
