In this story, it starts off as a nice hot summer day. In this story “the glorious whitewasher” tom sawyer is whitewashing a fence as a punishment. He is always getting in to trouble and always skipping school. You will find out how Tom Sawyer is very tricky.
Tom sawyer (A 13 year old boy) had been getting in trouble a lot lately. He lives with his aunt Pauli who is also taking care of Sid and Mary (his cousins). She has been very frustrated with tom and his behavior lately. He has been acting up at home, and ditching school to go swimming. He had just recently got in trouble for beating up a young boy named Alfred Temple. Although there was no reason for this, he did it anyway just because he wore church clothes to school on a weekday.
Tom is now forced to whitewash a fence as punishment for his misbehavior. He isn’t enjoying his punishment and is getting very bored. He saw some boys walking by and started to pretend he was having fun whitewashing the fence. The boys bought it and asked if they could join in and whitewash the fence too. Tom said “sure” So he not only tricked the boys into doing his work for him, but also got many goods from all the boys as well!
This is why I think he is very tricky. He acted as if whitewashing the fence was fun to get them to do his work for him and give him goods. He is very sneaky and is very street smart. Although, he isn’t all that smart at school and is very lazy and likes to goof off. But he makes the best of things.
The mode of literature to this story is comedy. The book starts out as normal life for Tom, even though he is always in trouble but that is normal for him. Then, Tom causes a big fight with a young boy and is now forced to whitewash a fence as a punishment. He then realizes how to fix this by getting the boys to do it for him by pretending it is fun and also makes them give him goods. He fixes the problem and gets them to do his work for him. Now he is back to normal everyday life.
