In lines 53-94 Ben and Tom are discussing the painting of Aunt Polly's fence. Tom appears to be ___________ and this makes Ben b
Feliz [49]

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.

Cheers
