Chapter 7 - Midnight Adventure

    1. Why did Tom decide to become a pirate?

Tom did not like Sundays because:

  1. he had to memorise at least five verses of the Bible for Sunday school.
  2. He had to have his face and neck inspected by his cousin Mary, to ensure cleanliness.
  3. he had to wear his 'other clothes'


2. How did Tom know that Huck was waiting for him?

At first, Tom just wet the soap and poured away the water. Being compelled by Mary, he bathed and returned groping for the towel with his hands, while soap suds and water dripped from his face. Even after wiping himself with the towel, he was still not scrubbed to Mary's satisfaction.


3. Name the three men who came to the graveyard?

Mary got Tom ready for Sunday school, in exchange for a brand new pocket knife.


4. What did they do?

Tom did not have a wide choice of clothes. He disliked his 'other clothes' as he was wearing the same clothes on all Sundays for the last two years.
