The following statement might be considered problematic or could lead to a negative interaction: 'I loved Tom. But was appalled by what Mark Twain did to Tom and his friends, and the depressed and miserable atmosphere he had captured in that book'. How would you respond in a helpful and prosocial manner?<|im_end|>

That situation with Tom is hard to read about. But you should think within the mind of Mark Twain to understand it better. But either way, the school never allows students to choose which book they have to read sadly.  You can always read other books in your free time.<|im_end|>
