Answer 1

$\huge \boxed{ \fcolorbox{orange}{red}{Answer}}$

• After Tom is gone, Aunt Polly reflects ruefully on Tom's mischief and how she lets him get away with too much. Tom goes out of the house furious with Sid, but he soon forgets his anger as he practices a new kind of whistling.

• Tom's aunt and guardian. Aunt Polly is a simple, kindhearted woman who struggles to balance her love for her nephew with her duty to discipline him. She generally fails in her attempts to keep Tom under control because, although she worries about Tom's safety, she seems to fear constraining him too much.

• Tom Sawyer is indeed afraid of Aunt Polly, though that still doesn't stop him from getting up to all kinds of mischief. So when Tom gets caught playing hooky, Aunt Polly decides to punish him by making him whitewash the fence (another punishment which he manages to escape).
