Once I get used to the grammar that there using It gets easier to read and I think that applies for any thing really. If your left in Germany for three weeks your going to learn some German. That's another reason why i like Rosetta stone.
I think that Tom was especially clever to figure that if you make it sound fun then you think its fun. Its pretty pathetic but I fell for that trick all the time. sigh... I have no preference in favorite characters they tend to die on me.
As for the time period, I don't exactly like it that much. I though America's time frame was pretty boring. I apologies in advanced to any one who finds it interesting. I find that there was little art during that time. I prefer studding back to the Renascences.
Sorry for the spelling error. I'm sick and I'm not thinking clearly....sorry.
The chapter just shows how clever Tom is. Make an unappealing task seem out of reach and suddenly people will want to do it. That's being smart.
I also think the chapter shows just how little Tom has. He's happy with a piece of broken glass and a broken window sash and pieces of orange peel. Maybe it's because they represent his ablility to trick the other boys into helping him.
The language was a bit confusing but reflective of the time. It helps make the story more believable and I like that.
I'm of the same mind as Aunt Polly. How can you be angry with a boy who's so darned resourceful?
The language is hard to follow. It takes get used to the language that was once used a long time ago. I don't think I've ever heard someone call paint, whitewash before.
Tom is clever; he was able to trick those into doing a job for him.
I guess to answer Mr. Kennedy’s question. Someone might be mad at Tom for not doing the painting himself. But might not be mad at him for be resourceful in doing the job.
Well even if you haven't read the story you know the story of Tom and tricking people into whitewashing the fence himself. Tom is my favorite characture as of now, he's so clever and a real troublemaker. I think if someone trys to do that now, people would either see through it or help the person just because it's a nice and can be fun thing to do with eachother. Aunt Polly can't help but laugh and shake her head at Tom. I think that's the general idea of their relationship, that Tom continues to amaze her. And will.
Tom is clever. Think Tom likes to trick people. He likes having fun.
I think Aunt Polly wants him to learn respect and discipline. Tom is always getting in trouble, mean that's how the book started.
I really don't like Tom as a character. The way he lies and talks, he is a person who I would not want to be friends with.
