"Have the initiation." 
 "What's that?" 
 "it's to swear to stand by one another, and never tell the gang's secrets, even if you're chopped all to flinders, and kill anybody and all his family that hurts one of the gang." 
 As I started the year(Or rather at the end of year 2011), I chose to read a classic. 
 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is about a boy who has done mischief, who had crushes and heartbreaks, and gets to know the true meaning of friendship. He drew his dreams and ambitions in liberty, and even did heroic acts. This is a novel of a juvenile, a story of innocence and curiosity on such a young age, in a setting where kids still play outside. 
 I've never been very fond of the classics, yet I've been curious with them. I am not an English Literature major, and this explains I'm having difficulty reading classics. Though in this novel, I can read and understand it, for it used moderate old English words. 
 It feels like being a kid again, reading this novel. And I felt being a boy with a freedom of exploring the environment. I appreciate how it portrays the meaning of friendship and infatuation. Especially how a little mischief lead to great heroic deeds. 
 And also, the very important lesson I learned and will always bear in mind and be etched in my heart, that in every bad or worst person, there is a spot of goodness in them. You just have to find it.
