Summary of chapter 2 in the adventures of Tom Sawyer
Answers
Answer:
Saturday is a beautiful day, but Tom is stuck painting Aunt Polly's fence. He's even jealous of Jim's chore of going to fetch water, which would at least give him the chance to talk to others at the well. Tom tries to convince Jim to trade tasks, but Jim says Aunt Polly has already told him not to let Tom leave the fence. Jim resists Tom's offer of a white marble in exchange for painting some of the fence, but gives in when Tom promises to show him his sore toe. Aunt Polly immediately arrives and forces Jim away with a smack from her shoe.Tom continues whitewashing the fence when along comes Ben Rogers, eating an apple and playing at running an imaginary steamboat. Tom pretends to be wholly absorbed in his task. When Ben teases him about having to work, Tom contends that whitewashing is a privilege, and one that Aunt Polly would only trust to him. Ben begs Tom to let him try, which Tom does, but only after Ben agrees to hand over the rest of his apple to Tom.Tom plays this trick on other boys for the rest of the day. He amasses all sorts of treasure—a dead rat on a string, marbles, a chalk fragment, and more—and gets the boys to do so much work for him that the fence has three coats by quitting time. He feels delighted, rich, and optimistic about the world.

Answer:
——★TOM SAWYER ★——
Tom Sawyer is a young and mischievous, young man. He lives with his Aunt, cousin, and younger half brother in a small town along the Mississippi River. Tom dislikes school, any type of work, and being told what to do, but he loves swimming, playing hooky, taking off in the middle of the night, and of course, Becky Thatcher. Over the course of the novel, Tom gets into all kinds of trouble, the worst being the fact that he witnessed Dr. Robinson's murder and testifies that Injun Joe was in fact the murderer. He disappears, plays pirate, and even gets to attend his own funeral, before discovering what he believes to be the location of treasure; twelve thousand dollars to be exact. The novel concludes, as Tom and Huckleberry Finn make plans to become thieves.
