I show this to my 9th Graders each year after reading the classic.

Every class is different in personalities, but every single one gets emotional when Tom gets the whipping meant for Becky (some guys can’t look); cheer when Tom risks his life to testify; shudder when Injun Joe finally drops to his just death; and Sid is finally smacked by Aunt Polly!
