The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Tom Sawyer Abroad by Mark Twain: "Indiana PINK? Why, what a lie!"
"It ain't no lie; I've seen it on the map, and it's
pink."
You never see a person so aggravated and disgusted.
He says:
"Well, if I was such a numbskull as you, Huck
Finn, I would jump over. Seen it on the map! Huck
Finn, did you reckon the States was the same color
out-of-doors as they are on the map?"
"Tom Sawyer, what's a map for? Ain't it to learn
you facts?"
