“Well, I don't say it wasn't a fine joke, Tom, to keep everybody suffering 'most a week so you boys had a good time, but it is a pity you could be so hard-hearted as to let me suffer so. If you could come over on a log to go to your funeral, you could have come over and give me a hint some way that you warn't dead, but only run off.”

Page 252: Excerpt From: Twain, Mark. “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” 

Trust is something that everyone needs and wants. If a person can't trust someone they can't depend on them. In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Tom leaves town with his friends, and his Aunt thinks he is dead and loses trust in Tom when she discovers that Tom is alive. Tom returns home during his own funeral, and when Aunt Polly discovers that he is alive she asks why Tom hadn't left her a note. When she says this it gives the impression that she had trusted Tom but now that he left her she can't trust him. The morning after he returns Tom had breakfast with Aunt Polly and Mary, during which his Aunt gently scolds Tom... She tells him “Well, I don't say it wasn't a fine joke, Tom, to keep everybody suffering 'most a week so you boys had a good time, but it is a pity you could be so hard-hearted as to let me suffer so. Aunt Polly had trusted Tom to at least leave a note saying he had run away , but instead he had just left." Aunt Polly had her feelings hurt when she felt a lack of trust, and I'm sure this will have a lasting effect.

I think trust is an interesting way to describe what was broken between Tom and his Aunt. Overall I like the post and think a picture would make it look great.

I like how you got those big quotation marks around the quote, it make the entry look cool and interesting. I also think you should put a picture in, you entry would look a lot better.
