Doesn’t sound like something your parents would tell you, does it?  This quote comes from Mark Twain, one of America’s best-known authors.  He’s also renowned (like my use of an old vocabulary word?) for the things he said.  He’s quite an interesting person to read about, and it’s interesting to see how events from his life quietly entered his writing.  Once you get past his somewhat difficult language, you’ll get caught up in the adventures that Tom is on in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.  Since we’ll be reading the book, it’s important for you to know about Mark Twain.  This WebQuest will help you through that task you have been given.
