Thomas "Tom" Sawyer is the title character of the Mark Twain novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). He appears in three other novels by Twain: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894), and Tom Sawyer, Detective (1896).
Sawyer also appears in at least three unfinished Twain works, Huck and Tom Among the Indians, Schoolhouse Hill and Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy. While all three uncompleted works were posthumously published, only Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy has a complete plot, as Twain abandoned the other two works after finishing only a few chapters.
The fictional character's name may have been derived from a jolly and flamboyant fireman named Tom Sawyer with whom Twain was acquainted in San Francisco, California, while Twain was employed as a reporter at the San Francisco Call. Twain used to listen to Sawyer tell stories of his youth, "Sam, he would listen to these pranks of mine with great interest and he'd occasionally take 'em down in his notebook. One day he says to me: ‘I am going to put you between the covers of a book some of these days, Tom.’ ‘Go ahead, Sam,’ I said, ‘but don’t disgrace my name.’" Twain himself said the character sprang from three people, later identified as: John B. Briggs (who died in 1907), William Bowen (who died in 1893) and Twain; however Twain later changed his story saying Sawyer was fully formed solely from his imagination, but as Robert Graysmith says, "The great appropriator liked to pretend his characters sprang fully grown from his fertile mind."

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain - FULL Audio Book - The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (published 1876) is a very well-known and popular story concerning American youth. Mark Twain's lively tale of the scrapes and adventures of boyhood is set in St. Petersburg, Missouri, where Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn have the kinds of adventures many boys can imagine: racing bugs during class, impressing girls, especially Becky Thatcher, with fights and stunts in the schoolyard, getting lost in a cave, and playing pirates on the Mississippi River. One of the most famous incidents in the book describes how Tom persuades his friends to do a boring, hateful chore for him: whitewashing (i.e., painting) a fence. This was the first novel to be written on a typewriter. (summary from w...

In this concrete jungle where I lie awake and my breathing matches my heartbeats, the percussion to my symphony, my symphony. And the traffic signs my song, if I knew the words I would sing along but I cant sing that loud, cant sing that high. These white washed walls extending to the heavens and above, I swear your eyes are all I need to keep me wandering it seems. These white washed walls, these white washed walls. Ill make these rights and lefts, you were right to leave, you didn't write when you left. I knew right when you left that you'd be back some day. When your hearts sailed off to the sunny California shores I knew right then a second chance was born. Street lights, city signs, the cars they go and fall in line, a little white pill you never knew before. Something about the way you look tonight like your bleeding all your life out on the floor. These white washed walls extending to the heavens and above, I swear your eyes are all I need to keep me wandering it seems. These white washed walls, these white washed walls. I swear to god theres something more to drop before we crash. Its too much to carry, too much to drop before we crash [repeat]
