Answer:
Tom appears to be <u>enjoying the painting</u> and this makes Ben become interested in painting.
Tom: <em>“What do you call work?”
</em>
Ben: <em>“Why ain’t that work?”</em>
Tom:<em> “Well, maybe it is, and maybe it ain't. All I know, is, it suits Tom
</em>
<em>Sawyer.”</em>
Ben: <em>“Oh come, now, you don’t mean to let on that you like it?”</em>
Tom:<em> “Like it? Well, I don’t see why I oughtn’t to like it. Does a boy get a
</em>
<em>chance to whitewash a fence every day?”</em>
In the end, this leads Ben to change his mind about whitewashing the fence because Tom tricked him into believing that it was fun, the opportunity was limited, and that it was beyond his ability.
Explanation:
The above dialogue from the second chapter of <em>The Adventures of Tom Sawyer</em> speaks to the cunniness of the human and its gullibility. It also speaks to perspectives and how value derives from how we perceive things no how they actually are.

Here's one example of a 'free verse stanza of poetry.
"Who am I?" -
Who am I, you ask?
I am a lion who comes off as a lamb.
I am an ocean with waves big enough to drown.
I am a roller coaster of emotions.
I am a hater of ignorant people, liars,
And people who use others for a gain.
I am a lost soul, a naive child.
I am one who has seen enough
That would make most people's skin crawl.
I am me, not you.
I am who I am.
Judging me is only a negative reflection on you.
So who am I, you ask?
I am me...just me.
One identification of how my poem can be considered a free verse because many people go threw many questions and common life problems. People may forget what they are and what their life meaning is. So this can be a 'free verse'.
