【正文】 Tom does not show any interests to that. Tom does not show his real feeling, because he really knows that once accept his disadvantage, the initiative goes away. Tom tells Ben that one cannot get a chance to whitewash without a hitch, so it is much more valuable than being a captain if one obtains the chance. Tom can not only make Ben interests in his whitewashing but also make Ben be pride of this special work.Tom contemplated the boy a bit ,and said“What do you call work?”“Why, ain’t that work?”Tom resumed his whitewashing ,and answered carelessly:“Well ,maybe it is ,and maybe it ain’t .All I know is ,it suits Tom Sawyer.”“Oh e, now, you don’t mean to let on that you like it?”The brush continued to move.“Like it? Well, I don’t see why I oughtn’t to like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day？”(p310p311) Ben is not able to see through the tricks。 he gradually retracts his scornfulness and asks Tom if he could try some of them. That is exactly what Tom wants. He grants Ben a chance with bargaining chip, the apple. He successfully makes a deal with Ben and many other boys. That afternoon, being a poor, povertystricken boy in the morning, Tom is literally rolling in wealth. However, the most important is that the whole board fence has been whitewashed. At last, Tom discovers a great law of human action: in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make it difficult to attain. Mark Twain here uses Tom’s whitewashing to express his own thoughts. The difference between play and work, Mark Twain points out that work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do and play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do. He powerfully criticizes the luxury of the aristocratic life. The wealthy gentlemen do not work but indulge themselves in wasting wealth. To portray a hero, Mark Twain intentionally enlarges Tom Sawyer’s wit. For example, when Tom and Becky get lost in the cave, Tom behaves not like a child。 he is calm, brave and not scared at all, meanwhile, he forts Becky that there must be ways to survive. He searches for the path with a candle, and uses the kite strings to mark their trace. Everything seems to be useful for him. Tom’s potential of being a hero is stimulated by the tough situation, the situation of choosing life or death. B. Tom Sawyer’s LeadershipTom’s wit is embodied not only in play, but also in something more significant. He is a good mander, which is testified in the whole process of adventure to an island named Jackson. The island is narrow but long, lies in the middle for Mississippi. Tom makes up his mind when his affection is trampled by Becky. He feels like being abandoned by the world, he thinks the best choice is to disappear from their sight. Tom has always wanted to be a pirate, and now it is the time. He tells his best friend the plan, and they soon draw an agreement. Tom suggests that maybe Huckleberry would like to join them. The night they set off under the mand of Tom, they bring food, and each of them is granted a title. Tom’s title is Black Avenger of the Spanish Main, Joe Harbor the Terror of seas, Huck Finn the RedHanded. It is interesting when we judge the children’s dream. Actually, the title shows their dream, their sense of justice. Children always admire hero, since hero is the one that enjoys freedom, and sacrifices to save the people. Tom tells them that a pirate should do things as a pirate. On their way to the Jackson Island, Tom’s desire of being captain is entirely satisfied when crossing the river. “They shoved off, presently, Tom in mand, Huck at the after oar and Joe at the forward. Tom stood amidships, gloomy browed, and with folded arms, and gave his orders in a low, stern whisper that Luff, bring her to the wind. Tom is a captain of the small boat, but it shows his will of being a leader. In the movie Pirates of The Caribbean, we love captain Jack Sparrow for his wit, his way of doing things, and his leadership. When Tom and the other boys reach the destination, they immediately settle down, spread the tent as their bed. Since it is dark, they light a fire, with which they are capable of roasting food. Huck is smoking, which makes Tom and Joe jealous a lot, then they resolve to acquire. Tom thinks a real pirate should be able to smoke. He knows a lot about pirate, the way they work, talk and the rule they obey. He talks perkily when Joe asks him what pirates have to do. Tom says: “Oh, they have just a bully timetake ships and burn them, and get the money and bury it in awful places in their island where there is ghosts and things to watch it, and kill everybody in the shipsmake them walk a plank.” (p420)The first night of the adventure makes them excited very much。 they do not sleep well except Huck who has nothing to concern. Their disappearing upsets the whole town. Their family falls into deep sorrow, and people in the town begin to search the children’s corpses, as they are convinced the boys have died. The boys notice when they heard the thunder from the river. Tom knows that people are seeking for their bodies as the villagers think the boys drowned. However, the boys do not feel sad at all, instead, they think themselves as heroes, because they feel how important they mean to their family and the people all through this village.However, the ecstasy does not last long. The boys bee depressed when they are thinking about their family. Joe speaks out something suggest his mind of going back, and Huck seems to be the same. Tom laughs at Joe and Huck for he looks down on their cowardice. His excellent eloquence oppresses the insurgency. Tom misses Aunt Polly too, but he knows that once he shows his feeling, their piratelike life e to the end. However, Tom has to consider what others do not need to, and do more than others do. After a serious consideration, Tom makes up his mind to go back secretly to tell Aunt Polly their situation that they were no
