A Classic Coming-of-Age Tale..

You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter.

Like Huck Finn and Holden Caulfield before him, young Jack is beginning to unleash his attitude and shape the world to his liking.

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth

At least, he can shape the world to his liking until Doc says "no." But she can't say that forever, can she? A boy's gotta *live*!
