Question

5 Flaws of Tom Sawyer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

"Some of Tom Sawyer's negative traits are his mischievousness, ability to manipulate others, and his selfishness. For example, in the famous whitewashing scene, Tom manipulates the other boys into doing his punishment of white washing the fence for him by making painting the fence seem like a difficult job that not many people can do. Because Tom presents the task in that way, the boys are eager to jump at the chance to show they can paint the fence too, giving Tom "treasures" in exchange for a chance. Tom manipulates his friends for his own benefit. He gets out of his punishment and receives items in return. "
