Question

As trickster archetypes, how do Arnie and Tom Sawyer, in Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, both use lies and deception to get what they want

Answer 1

Answer:

Arnie uses lies and deception to get what he wants by making a deal to split the pay seventy-thirty with Jose to get him to do his work, while Tom Sawyer used deception to get what he wants by manipulating his friends into believing whitewashing the fence is fun and getting them to do his work.

Explanation:

(i got this same exact question because my school uses studysync so i hope you also need textual evidence)

According to the 43rd paragraph of 'Born Worker', "Jose agreed to a seventy-thirty split, with the condition that Arnie had to help out," so Jose agreed to do Arnie's work and get most of the money even though he did all of the work and should get all of the money. Paragraphs 19 through 21 of 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' state, "'Like it? Well, I don't see why I oughtn't to like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?' That put the thing in a new light. Ben stopped nibbling his apple. Tom swept his brush daintily back and forth--stepped back to note the effect--added a touch here and there--criticized the effect again--Ben watching every move and getting more and more interested, more and more absorbed. Presently he said: 'Say, Tom, let ME whitewash a little,'" so Tom manipulated Ben into thinking whitewashing was fun, and got him to do his work.
