A controversial passage is a passage that has a conflict among it. In the book Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain there were a couple of controversial passages. One was, "I dare you to step over that, and I'll lick you till you can't stand up. Any body that'll take a dare will steal sheep." (page 197 of 3271 on the kindle)
This shows that Tom didn't care what happened to him he just cared about his reputation. Also, "Smarty! you think your SOME, now, DON'T you? Oh, what a hat!"(pages- 186 & 187 of 3271 on the kindle) This shows Toms personality a lot. It shows how much of a kid he is and how he like to have fun.
There were many more to come but he was a crazy young boy that liked to have fun so far. "But Tom's energy did not last. He began to think of the fun he had planned for this day, and his sorrows multiplied." (page 243 of 3271 on the kindle) This passage shows that he would do any thing to get out of having to work at any time, he hates watching people do what others do.""Aunt, you don't whack Sid when he takes it." "Well, Sid don't torment a body the way you do. You'd be always into that sugar if i warn't watching you."" (pages 343 & 344 of 3271) Tom hated that Sid always got away with things but he always was the on that go in trouble with his aunt. And he wonders why his aunt want let him have any sugar. Really I wouldn't after all either because of the way he acts.
