The townspeople worried about the boys and hoped that they would come back. Their minds did change after a while, so they though that the boys were dead. All of the towns people were shocked when they saw the boys in the church because they thought that they drowned in the river.
ReplyDeleteI think their minds changed because in the book it said that Aunt Polly was sorry for the way she had been treating Tom before he left. Most of the townspeople were sad to hear the news about the boys disappearence. Some of those people were probably part of the reason why the boys did what they did; and felt bad.
ReplyDeleteThe town was worried they could not find him. And becky was worried and so sad that she should of saved the door knocker but she got mad at her and he is long gone. And aunt polly was so scared that tom was not alive and they all were worried and they wanted to find him and all the towns people had looked for him and they cant find him and Hucks father don't even know that he is gone and that pretty much ends chapter 17.
ReplyDeleteThe think the townspeople fe;t worried about the boys. I think they changed their minds because they when Tom went away, he heard them say that they felt sorry for what they did to them before they disappered.
ReplyDeleteI think the towns people felt worried about the boys because didn't want to go away, but he had to. Then he didn't hear that they were sorry and the forgave him.
ReplyDeleteI think they changed how they feel about them when they thought they where dead because it gave them time to think about them but before they died they thought they died they thought they where only really immature and bad people
ReplyDeleteMost of the people in the book remembered the bad things that they did. Then people said positive things and people had to think that they were better then what they thought.
ReplyDeletei think they changed how they felt because they were annoying and obnoxious when they were around, but now that the towns people think that they're dead they feel bad for how they felt about the kids and how they treated them.
ReplyDeleteI think the towns people thought that the three boys were trouble makers before they ran away. But for what ever reason their minds changed when they left, and they had forgiven them for all the wrong they did. I know this because Mrs. Harper even said that she had forgiven Joe for what he has done in the past.
ReplyDeleteI think the people of the town were sad because they didn't get a chance to tell them how they really felt. When they were all in the church and they were singing, and then the 3 boys came in and they all got hugs at first Huck didn't he just tried to back out and then Tom told his aunt and then everyone was hugging and kissing all three of the boys.
ReplyDeleteI think it changed there opiniounin because before they died the people thought they were just a bunch of trouble makers, but now they think that they are just regular boys.
ReplyDeleteI think there minds didn't changed,but they were shocked. The towns people probably remembered them for there tricks though.
ReplyDeleteI think the towns people felt worried and they always thought of the memories. Becky felt very sad and broke down in tears. Yes they did change their mind because aunt polly said that she almost regrets punishing him. Also Becky wished she had taken the door knob and wished she did act the way she did to Tom. I think the towns people treated the three boys better than they did.
ReplyDeleteIn the book everyone only thought of the bad things they did, but when everyone thought they drowned they only remembered the good things they did
ReplyDeleteI think their minds changed because instead of thinking of how naughty they were they thought of all the good things they did. They probably started to think they are actually pretty good kids.
ReplyDeleteThey thought they where looking for trouble and they are very bad.Yes their minds did change because when Tom left everyone was sad and felt sorry because the way they treated him before.
ReplyDeleteThey thought they where looking for trouble and they are very bad.Yes their minds did change because when Tom left everyone was sad and felt sorry because the way they treated him before.
ReplyDeleteI think that they thought they had just gone off and would come back soon. Their minds got changed when they never came back.
ReplyDeleteI thought they would stay in woods and they did. I think they were just looking for trouble because in the book there mischievous.
ReplyDeleteI think that the towns people thought they were bad kids before they thought they were dead. I think that there minds did change because the hole sunday was quiet.
ReplyDeleteI think that the town thinks that there nice because they think they are dead, other wise they would think he is rotten and no good trouble making boys
ReplyDeleteI think the towns people think that the kids were hoodlums and when they died or ran off they started to realize what they actually thought of them. my proof from the book is that the whole day sunday they were quite and thinking of what they thought of them
ReplyDeletei thing they felt bad if they would of come back they would be happy but they did not come back so they were there mad and sad.
ReplyDeleteI think the towns people were really mean to the boys because when they would do something wrong the towns people would be really mean to them. After they found out they were dead they were trying to say really nice things about them but they had nothing nice to say because the boys always did bad things.
ReplyDeletei think the towns people where sad because they kinda missed all the ruckus they made but there happy to because no one will get in trouble.
ReplyDeleteI think some of the people were probably sad because they missed all of the loud ness.But I think they are also kind off of happy because theres no more people getting in trouble or any yelling.
ReplyDeleteWhen they thought they were dead they were all sad and not very happy. When they found out were still alive and saw them they were kind of happy and mad like Becky. But Aunt Polly was very happy to see Tom.
ReplyDeleteI think that the towns people thought that they were trying to play a prank on them then if it went on to long they would have a funeral for there death but there not dead tom was going to leave then the towns people saw him and were happy and mad at the same time but Aunt polly and becky were happy to see him
ReplyDeletethis one is tricky to write about i mean i have very high emotions in this chapter it made want to cry but what can i say it is the sad part to the story.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was funny that they went to their own funeral. I also feel really bad for Aunt Polly cause she thought Tom was dead when he wasn't.
ReplyDeleteI think that the townspeople were thinking of all the good things the boys did and not the bad ones.I think their minds might have changed because the boys should have not tricked them like that .I think they were getting very serious about what they had done running away.
ReplyDeletei think that they have changed what they thought of tom because they were really sad
ReplyDelete'They treat them differently cause they thought he was annoying and now sense he's dead they finally new that he part of there lives and started to miss him cause they finally new the good side of him.
ReplyDeleteI think that they thought they would come back soon but their minds changed when they never did.
ReplyDeletei think their minds changed because when tom left and the towns people dident know they werent very happy with tom but when they found out he was missing they were all sad. when the kids were on the play ground they were telling etch other about moments with tom.

ReplyDeleteThey were probably upset about the death.Aunt polly was probably happy to see tom because she thought he was dead and I know she was happy because she didn't hit him.
ReplyDeleteI think the towns people were worried, but happy that all the ruckus was gone, but they thought that they would come back.
ReplyDeletethis one is tricky to write about i mean i have very high emotions in this chapter it made want to cry but what can i say it is the sad part to the story.tom is going to have a funurnal for no reason and it is heart braking to me becuase i know my mom would not want to come to my funeral and cry her eyes shut and aunt is really up set to but just as funeral was going to happen he came back how different i think their minds changed because when tom left and the towns people dident know they werent very happy with tom but when they found out he was missing they were all sad. when the kids were on the play ground they were telling each other about moments with tom. iwould neverdo that to my mom becuase it is wrong and not cool to scare you parents or who ever you live with
ReplyDeleteThere was no laughter and no fun but the people were sad that the boys were gone.
ReplyDeleteWell every one in the town was I-their sad or really guilty and one of them was Becky Thatcher and well I still think that it was not right for the boys to run away but it was there disunion and well they made the really rung disunion there.
ReplyDeleteI'd say to the same thing that olipie said that its a triky queshten but for a different reason, the hard part is that they doint realy say if they like them the same way they did after the they fownd out that they are alive. I don't think I said that right but they dident say the same think they sed with ant poly. With Ant polly she said that she liked them = =

ReplyDeleteI think the towns people were worried because tom ran away and did not come back tell the
ReplyDeletefunaral.
I think that the towns people thought that the boys were bad kids before they came up missing. I think that their minds changed because they were all sad when they left. Like when Aunt Polly was saying about how much she missed him.
ReplyDeleteI think the towns people were sad & worried when they thought they were dead, but I do think there minds changed because of harshly they treated them like when Sid went to get sugar and knocked it over and blammed it on Tom then cousin Mary said "No Aunt Polly don't punish tom it was Sid!" , & Aunt Polly said "He deserved it anyways."
ReplyDeleteI think the townspeople thought that the boys Tom, Huck, and Joe were all obnoxious and trouble makers. But because they think the boys are all dead the townspeople feel bad for the way they treated the 3 boys. Example: The whole town went to the funeral. Example: Becky Thatcher said she wishes that, She would of said something different to Tom and that she had the brass doorknob. Example: Aunt Polly said she missed Tom, to her family and some of her friends, when Tom was hiding under the couch. Where Aunt Polly was talking.
