Answer: This is Tom's technique to persuade Ben to paint the fence.

Explanation:

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a novel written by Mark Twain. Set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg in 1840s, it tells a story about a boy named Tom.

In<em> Chapter 2</em>, Tom wants to convince the other boys (Jim and Ben, in particular) that painting the fence is a pleasure. He agrees that Ben should accompany him in painting, and then changes his mind multiple times - he plays with him in order to make painting the fence look more attractive to him. Tom is so persuasive that Ben even agrees to give Tom an apple to thank him for giving him the privilege of working on the fence.

Helpppp.What can you infer about Shakespeare’s view of the English treatment of the inhabitants of the new world from his contra
OLEGan [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Shakespeare's view of the treatment of the English by the inhabitants of the new world can be seen in "The tempest" through the relationship between Prospero and Calibam.

Calibam represents the inhabitants of the new world and shows how the English saw them in a rude, wild, ignorant and violent way. Shakespeare shows that Calibam is a lost creature that needs to be dominated, exploited and deceived by a European, who is someone cultured, civilized with divine powers, since he knows God. This European is Prospero who represents all the power and influence that Europe believes he had in relation to Native Americans.

Prospero imposes his will on the basis of intelligence and the ability to dominate different cultures and peoples.
