Explanation:
8 Speaking personally, I would say that I find the incident with the bible tickets as the most interesting for the same reason as the previous contributor: it gives us insight into Tom's entrepreneurial character (as well as his seemingly endless capacity for mischief).
The children at Tom's Sunday School are awarded different colored tickets for every bible verse they can recite. If they manage to collect one thousand tickets, then they'll be given a Dore Bible as a prize. Tom has no chance of winning the prize. His memory is much too bad, and he's also chronically lazy. Try as he might, he just can't make any progress. What he needs is an incentive. And it duly arrives in the shape of Becky Thatcher, Judge Thatcher's daughter. Soon, Tom becomes hopelessly smitten with the girl and wants to impress her. What better way to do this than by winning the prized Dore Bible?
But Tom, being Tom, doesn't go about collecting tickets in the ordinary way; that would be too much like hard work. So he trades stuff to get tickets. For a prized yellow ticket, Tom is prepared to trade a piece of licorice and a fishhook. For three red tickets, he hands over a couple of white alleys, or marbles. After bumping into another few boys on his way to church, Tom manages to get his hands on yet more tickets, enough to win the Dore Bible. There's just one problem: Tom's expected to recite a bible verse chosen at random by the superintendent, and he doesn't have a clue what to say. The whole embarrassing episode speaks volumes about Tom Sawyer: unfailingly resourceful and ever so smart, but a little too clever by half.
