Conman Gone Working


Think of a conman just waiting for the right person. You and many others might be the right person. “The Glorious Whitewasher” was written by Mark Twain. This story is a comedy because there are some conflicts that make it funny. Tom Sawyer is a conman who is a young boy. He does it to get cool things like marbles and a dead rat. When you con someone you are considered evil. So conning someone is evil and should not happen.
In the first place conning can be simple or hard. Tom toke the easy route by making whitewashing look like fun. In which case makes them think that whitewashing is fun. Tom tricks them by telling them they can’t until they offer him something he wants. Otherwise the hard way was when Tom was paying no attention to Ben who was making a lot of noise. You could ignore to make them more interested which is harder than making it seem like fun.
In one case Tom finally let Ben whitewash after giving him something. That gave him the idea of tricking other kids for more things. Tom got an apple core from Ben and a whole bunch of other things. He got a kite, 12 marbles, and many other items.
Finally Tom was a little conman who conned other kids. Many People think that you hurt others for yourself. Those people become greedier and hurt others; because of those people many are scared. People think that conning is evil and that it shouldn’t happen. So you shouldn’t con people because it is evil.
