There are some controversial passages in the story ‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.’ But what is a controversial passage in the first place you may ask? Well it is a passage that has two sides to a story. Like for example, when something is said or happens, there maybe two sides to the story when for example if a parent says something that he/she thinks is correct and the child disagrees. In ‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,” there were a lot of controversial passages.

            So in this book Tom gets in trouble a lot or at least just stays in trouble. “Never you mind, Tom. You know if I say it’s nice, it’s nice.”(435 of 3271 on the kindle) This is a controversial passage because Tom and Mary have different opinions on the tackle, Mary says its nice yet Tom says it’s not nice. “The visitors wee given the highest seat of honor, and as soon as Mr. Walters’ speech was finished, he introduced them to the school.”(509 of 3271 on the kindle) The reason why this is a controversial passage because it was visitors against the already members.
