This is the introduction of Ben Rogers in the story of Tom Sawyer. Ben Rogers is another boy of Tom's age in the story who is tricked, first, in completing the whitewash task of Tom given by his aunt.

Explanation:

This part of the story where Tom starts to white wash the fence and waits for someone to pass by so as to trick them into completing the task given to him.

These lines describe how Ben Rogers is, as a person, very light and soft at heart. His expectations on life and its take on him are very high, as though he can climb mountains in a second. His signature was to 'hop-jump'.

The lines where he is shown to be bouncing all the time while he is walking, show us that his carefree, naturally high on environment and life make us understand that he is unlike Tom.

He is also very playful, dramatic and willingly notorious in his introduction. The description of his action while he is crossing Tom shows us that he enjoys little things in life more than what is expected and is happy about what he has got.

The <em>below lines from the chapter, depict his character:</em>

<em>"He was eating an apple, and giving a long, melodious whoop, at intervals, followed by a deep-toned ding-dong-dong, ding-dong-dong, for he was personating a steamboat. As he drew near, he slackened speed, took the middle of the street, leaned far over to starboard and rounded to ponderously and with laborious pomp"</em>

BaLLatris [955]

Answer: She should not.

Explanation:

Every profession has a range of salaries that practitioners in that profession might earn from the lowest salary possible to the highest. For instance, Carpenters in the United States can expect a yearly salary of between $41,784 and $72,987.

The Median figure refers to the figure in the middle of this range and separates what those in the upper half of the range will get from those in the lower half. It is not a given that a person will earn the median salary as they may earn lower or higher than it depending on multiple factors such as  education, location, additional skills, number of years in the profession, etc.
