Question

How do Tom and Becky feel about each other? On what are these feelings based? In what way does the incident at the supper table affect Aunt Polly and Tom? Explain what new sides to Tom are revealed in chapter 3.

Answer 1

Answer:

Aunt Polly goes to inspect the fence. Overwhelmed with pride at the well-painted fence, she gives Tom an apple. He steals a donut, as well, and throws some dirt at Sid on his way out. Aunt Polly's pride in Tom should have inspired him to further good behavior, but he finds more reward in bullying Sid.
