Passage:
"'But who are we going to rob?-houses, or cattles, or-' 'Stuff! stealing cattle and such things ain't robbery; it's burglary,' says Tom Sawyer. 'We ain't burglars. That ain't no sort of style."

Comments and Passages:
There is a since of humor and irony in the way the boys discuss what the future of the gang is going to go. They say that they are going to be robbers but what one of the boys suggest that they do is completely harmless and contrary to what they wanted to do. It is ironic when Tom Sawyer says, "We ain't burglars. That ain't no sort of style." because they plan on being robbers which has little to no more style than being burglars. In fact being a robber is actually worse because they intend to hurt people while burglarizing a house hurts no one but the owners pocket.
