City boys and country boys are two different types of people of happen to lean towards the country side, Although the two types of people may seem similar on the outside, the actual differences are noticeable for the actions of the two are very different. Thus actions are crucial in the classifications of the two types of the people. When a country boy’s truck has a problem, unlike the city boy, they call up some of their friends and they fix their problem. Unlike the city boy who takes his car to the mechanic every time the check engine light illuminates upon their dashboard, or they just buy a new car. The same mentality carries over to any other item, which breaks; the country boy fixes the problem on his own. While the city boy would rather have someone else fix his problem, the country boys acts this way for he tends to take more pride in what he owns, thus bringing him pride when he fixes his own problems.

Another way to tell the difference between the two types of people is when they go hunting. Through first hand experience with the two types of people hunting I can tell the differences in the way that they act. The way I can tell if a city boy went hunting is if I see fifteen pictures on social media of them in camo clothes while they didn’t even shoot their limit. While on the other hand I can only tell if a country boy has been hunting is if they tell me how the game warden almost caught them shooting over their limit.in my encounters with city boys hunting, I could tell that hunting to them is a hobby with is all fun and games. Yet for country boys, hunting turns into a competition to see who can shoot the most birds, the biggest buck or the largest

    While Tom and his friends may not be as polite or proper as the “Model Boys”, they have true goodness, and genuine affection for the people they are closest to and do not show their affection only for their own reward or are polite just to win the favor of the adults. Everything that Tom and his friends do is candid; they do not calculate or scheme to reap the greatest benefit for themselves. They are charming and endearing because if they do something kind for someone, it will for that person's benefit, rather then their own. Tom and his friends are endearing to Muff Potter, Becky, and the widow because Tom and his friends have rescued them, Becky from a whipping, and Muff and the widow from possible death, even though doing so would put their own safety at risk. The model boys force their kindness and only help someone if they do not have to make a personal sacrifice to do so, so their kindness and good deeds do not really come from their hearts.…
