Examine the central idea of Chapter 2 in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. In this chapter, Tom uses ingenuity and his knowledge of

human nature to convince others to do his assigned chore of painting the fence.
Once you have read the chapter, write a journal entry discussing Tom’s theory about work versus play. How does he convince Jim and the other boys to do his work for him? How does his technique with Jim differ from that of the other boys? Why do you think this is? Think about your first impressions of Tom from Chapter 1. Has your opinion of him changed based on the events in this chapter?

Your response should be about 150 words in length, and use details from the text to support your ideas.

Karolina [17]

Answer:

Hope this helps pls mark brainliest

Explanation:

1.Many people, especially those who grew up before the age of the personal computer, don’t understand how computers store information.

The relative pronoun who is modifying the noun phrase: ‘many people’, and the relative  clause ‘who grew up before the age of the personal computer’ is functioning as an adjective.

2.That information is stored in electronic files. Those files function much like file folders.  

That is a demonstrative pronoun which points to a noun, in this case ‘information’. Those is also a demonstrative pronoun, in plural who is referring to the noun ‘files’

3.Each file is given a name. The name given to each, its filename, should represent the information found in the file.  

‘each’ is an adjective that modifies the noun ‘file’. In the second sentence, ‘each’ is an adverb and acting as a direct object of the verb ‘give’ in passive voice.

‘what’ is an interrogative pronoun, used to ask a direct question.  

5. That explanation isn’t as clear as the one all of us heard at the lecture yesterday.

That is a demonstrative pronoun which points to a noun, ‘explanation’.

6. Which flowers are the most beautiful? These lilies are very nice, but they’re less interesting than those.  

‘which’ is an interrogative pronoun, used to ask questions about things. ‘these’ is a demonstrative pronoun in plural, whereas ‘those’ is a demonstrative pronoun that refers to distance.  

7. Many houses are comfortable, but few are as comfortable as this cottage.  

‘Many’ and ‘few’ are quantifiers and act as adjectives, modifying the noun ‘house’.

8. Many people were crowded into a very small space. All agreed that it was time to enlarge the office space.  

‘Many’ is a quantifier modifying the noun ‘people’ and ‘all’ is a predeterminer making reference to the people previously mentioned.  

9. Several examples are often helpful. Which example don’t you understand?

‘several’ is an indefinite pronoun, used for non specific things. And ‘which’ is an interrogative pronoun, used to ask a direct question about things.

Why does the play state that Anne received her diary upon entering the Secret Annex, instead of on her thirteenth birthday, whic
LenaWriter [7]

Explanation:

I could not find the play that you are talking about in you question but I will try to answer it with some information that could be helpful to you.

Anne Frank did receive her diary on her thirteenth birthday but maybe it was hard for directors to show that in the play, since Anne Frank did write in her diary all of the horror situations that she was experiencing.

It was easier for them to show her diary receiving when she has entered the Secret Annex because the<em><u> bookcase</u></em> was considered as the entrance to the Secret Annex that was the hiding place for her and her family.
