Answer:
you have to read the novel for this
Answer:
On Monday morning, Tom dreads going to school. He considers what might convince Aunt Polly to let him stay home. He decides to go with his sore toe.
Though Monday always begins a new school week, Tom always tried a way to avoid this routine.
Tom's moaning awakens Sid, who rushes find Aunt Polly. Tom complains: "O, auntie, my sore toe's mortified!" Aunt Polly sees through his act, and can't help but laugh.
Tom exaggerates his pain, and uses the wrong word to do so, making Aunt Polly to laugh. The interaction embodies their affection for one another, and though she should scold him, his ridiculousness entertains her.
Tom tells her that his toe really had been hurting—even more than his tooth. She declares that the tooth should be removed. Tom is terrified, protesting that the tooth doesn't hurt after all, and that he'll go to school. Aunt Polly proceeds to tie one end of a string to his bed-post and the other to his tooth. When she lunges at him with a flaming coal, he jumps away, and the string yanks out his tooth.
If Tom had simply admitted that he was faking, rather than using his tooth as an excuse, he might have avoided the extreme pain of having it pulled. Aunt Polly's efficiency at removing the tooth show how formidable and capable a woman she is, and Tom is lucky to have her looking after him. He's also lucky she doesn't punish him with as severe floggings as she might.
