Well, I know now that it's official: Tom Sawyer 'n me don't think the same no more. I still don't know how it's possible for things to change so fast and so simply, but I do know that I know more than Tom Sawyer knows.
We rescued Jim, but turns out he didn't need rescuin'! The widow Douglas died a while back, 'n set him free in her will! What amazes me is that Tom knew that, and still made sure to cause everyone some real panic and sadness in tryin' to free the already free man! His aunt Sally who is so compassionate and kind got hurt real badly by Tom's foolish plans, and of course my conscience at me for it too. I've finally come to understand how the whole thing works. It aint about stealin' or borrowin', or the way anything's done, but the reason anything should be done. I'm startin' to see that wrong 'n right is the very same difference between doin' somethin' cause you wanna do it, no matter how other people might feel, or doin' something cause it's good for another person though it might hurt you.
People keep tryin' to do what they think is right for me, takin' me in to "sivilize" me, but I'm done with all that. I don't need no sivilizin'!
