At the start of the narrative, Tom introduces himself as not particularly saintly, describing his life in Rivermouth and the dynamic of his early years, including friendships and school experiences. He recalls humorous interactions with other boys, his reluctance to move back to New England from New Orleans, and his vivid imagination regarding northern life shaped by misunderstandings of geography and culture.
