Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is an 1876 novel about a young boy
growing up along the Mississippi River. The story is set in the fictional town
of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived. Tom
Sawyer lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother Sid. Tom dirties his
clothes in a fight and is made to whitewash the fence the next day as
punishment. He cleverly persuades his friends to trade him small treasures for
the privilege of doing his work. He then trades the treasures for Sunday
School tickets which one normally receives for memorizing verses, redeeming
them for a Bible, much to the surprise and bewilderment of the superintendent
who thought "it was simply preposterous that this boy had warehoused two
thousand sheaves of Scriptural wisdom on his premises - a dozen would strain
his capacity, without a doubt." Tom falls in love with Becky Thatcher, a new
girl in town, and persuades her to get "engaged" by kissing him. But their
romance collapses when she learns Tom has been "engaged" previously to Amy
Lawrence. Shortly after Becky shuns him, he accompanies Huckleberry Finn to
the graveyard at night, where they witness the murder of Dr. Robinson.
