Literature test The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Mark Twain) for 5th grade students. The test consists of two options, in each option there are 5 tasks with a short answer and one general task with a detailed answer.

Saturday morning came, and everything in the summer world breathed freshness, shone and seethed with life. Music sounded in every heart, and if this heart was young, then the song was torn from the lips. Joy was on every face, and spring was in everyone's gait. white locust stood in full bloom, and its fragrance spread in the air.
Cardiff Mountain, which could be seen from everywhere, turned green all over and seemed from afar a wonderful, alluring country, full of peace and tranquility.
Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of lime and a long brush in his hands. He looked around the fence, and all joy flew away from him, and the spirit plunged into the deepest anguish. Thirty yards of a nine-foot-high wooden fence! Life seemed empty to him, and existence a heavy burden. Sighing, he dipped his brush into the bucket and ran it over the top board of the fence, repeated this operation, did it again, compared the insignificant whitewashed strip with the boundless mainland of the unpainted fence, and sat down on the fence under the tree in complete despondency. Jim hopped out of the gate with a tin bucket in his hand, singing "The Buffalo Girls." Carrying water from the city well used to be boring to Tom, but now he sees it differently. He remembered that society always gathers at the well. White and black boys and girls were always hanging out there, waiting for their turn, resting, exchanging toys, quarreling, fighting, indulging. And he also remembered that although the well was only a hundred and fifty paces from them, Jim never returned home before an hour later, and even then someone had to be sent for him. Tom said:
“Listen, Jim, I'm going to fetch water, and you'll whiten a little here.
— I can't, Mr. Tom. The old mistress told me to quickly go for water and not stop with anyone along the way. She said, Mr. Tom, surely, she would call me to whitewash the fence, so that I would go my own way and not meddle in my own business, and she would take care of the fence herself.
Don't listen to her, Jim. Little does she say. Give me a bucket, I'll run away in one minute. She won't even know.
— Oh, I'm afraid, Mr. Tom. The old mistress will tear my head off for this. Oh my god, it's going to blow.
— Is she? Yes, she never fights. He hits the head with a thimble, that's all - just think, what an importance! She says God knows what, but nothing will be done from words, unless she herself cries. Jim, I'll give you a balloon! I'll give you white with marble veins!
Jim began to hesitate.
— White marble, Jim! This is not nonsense for you!
- Oh, how beautiful it shines! Only I'm really afraid of the old mistress, Mr. Tom ...

Jim was only a man - such a temptation was beyond his strength.

The old woman lowered her glasses to the tip of her nose and looked around the room over her glasses: then she pulled her glasses up to her forehead and looked out from under them.

Reading student

From the paradise of children's life

You send me a farewell greeting,

Unchanged Friends

In a worn, red binding.

Lights flicker on the chandeliers ...

It's good to read a book at home!

Under Grieg, Schumann, Cui

I learned the fate of Tom.

It's getting dark... The air is fresh...

Tom is happy with Becky full of faith.

Here is Injun Joe with a torch

Wandering in the twilight of the cave...

Cemetery... Owl's prophetic cry...

(I'm scared!) Here it flies through the bumps

Adopted prim widow

Like Diogenes living in a barrel.

Lighter than the sun is the throne room,

Above the slender boy is a crown ...

Suddenly - a beggar! God! He said:

“Allow me, I am the heir to the throne!”

Oh golden times

Where the look is bolder and the heart is purer!

Oh golden names

Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, The Prince and the Pauper!

Mark Twain was one of the talented writers of the century before last. He left over 20 books and a huge number of unpublished manuscripts to the people. “I'm not familiar with the 20th century yet. I wish him good luck,” wrote Twain.

In America, on the Mississippi River, there is a small town of Hannibal, where Mark Twain spent his childhood. In the center of the city on a hill - a monument to two barefoot boys - Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The guys are depicted as careless, mischievous. In addition to this, Huck holds a dead cat by the tail thrown over his shoulder. Obviously, they are presented as such by many generations of readers.

This monument is a testament to the love of readers for the heroes we talked about today.

What was the highest first "price" Tom Sawyer took for allowing the fence to be whitewashed?
12. - And what word turned out vertically?

The author of many stories, short stories and novels, Mark Twain won world fame with books about ordinary boys - Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn. So our quiz is dedicated to them, Tom and Huck.

And now two words about who invented them. Invented? Breathe life into them! Mark Twain is the pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens. The pseudonym "Mark Twain" in translation means - "measure two." This pseudonym is related to those times when pilots on the Mississippi measured the depth of the river with a rope - the writer liked to recall the years he spent as a pilot. The sailor, standing on the bow of the ship, lowered the cargo into the river and "read the testimony." One fathom was designated - "measure one", two fathoms - "measure two" ("Mark twain").

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer book in many ways. young dreamer Tom is Mark Twain himself as a child. Under the name of Aunt Polly, the writer portrayed his mother, under the name of Becky Thatcher - a school friend, under the name of Huck Finn - his best friend Tom Blankiship.

Twain achieved his first success as a writer during one of his travels. In 1867, he begged Colonel McComb to sponsor his trip to Europe and Middle East. In June, as Alta California correspondent for the New York Tribune, Twain travels by boat to Europe. In August, he also visited Odessa, Yalta and Sevastopol (the "Odessa Bulletin" contains the "Address" of American tourists, written by M. Twain). The novice writer, as part of the ship's delegation, visited the residence of the Russian Emperor in Livadia. Letters written by him on a trip to Europe, he immediately sent to the newspaper for publication. And upon his return to America, these letters formed the basis of his book "Simples Abroad", which was published in 1869 and was a huge success.

Until the very end of his life, many knew Mark Twain precisely as the author of "Simples Abroad". For my writing career Twain traveled through Europe, Asia, Africa and even Australia. In the city of Hannibal (Missouri), the house in which Sam Clemens played as a boy, and the caves that he explored as a child, and which he later spoke about in the famous "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", have been preserved. Mark Twain's house in Hartford has been turned into his personal museum and declared a National Historic Site in the United States - tourists now come here.

Last year I ran the project Is Tom Sawyer Popular in the 21st Century? And here's what I found out after a little survey.

Most of the respondents had not read the books or seen the films about Tom Sawyer. Many people think that Tom Sawyer is quite famous, although they themselves do not know anything about him. Most people think that Tom is a small, quiet and calm boy. But in fact - Tom is a mischievous and naughty boy, about twelve years old. Many answered that they had not heard anything about Tom Sawyer, although in the first question they claimed that they knew who Tom Sawyer was. Most of the children surveyed do not read books at all.

Whether Tom is more popular in other countries than in Russia, I cannot say. I was able to contact only two peers who live in the UK and the US. He hasn't read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and there are other books at school. Only a small part of the guys interviewed know the author of this wonderful book, and most do not know how many books have been written about Tom. After completing the project, I concluded that Tom Sawyer is not very popular in the 21st century.

In our country, director Stanislav Govorukhin in 1981 created the film "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn" (this director also made the films "The Life and Amazing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe", "The meeting place cannot be changed", "In Search of Captain Grant", " Ten blacks ”). This film was recognized by American film critics best film adaptation classical work throughout the history of cinema.
