I disagree. Aside from being generally "good" people, I don't see many similarities between Twain's characters and TW's characters. Stiles and Scott are very similar to one another in many ways. Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer are polar opposites of one another even though they are friends.

Tom and Huck's individual motivations are not shared by Stiles or Scott. The way in which they handle conflict is different and the way in which they treat one another is different. Tom is often ashamed to be seen with Huck, who is also thought to be a bad influence on Tom. None of this is true of Stiles or Scott.
