Maturity In The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer

“Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity. The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations,” according to Samuel Ullman. In one of Mark Twain’s most well-known classics, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, the child protagonist often faces many intriguing dilemmas. Towards the beginning of the beloved novel, the flick of the old maturity stick could have resolved young Tom’s problems.
