Many Sides of Tom
Devious: Near the beginning of the book, Tom is being devious. He is misbehaving while he is with his aunt. His aunt truly believes that he deserves to get a good beating, but somehow he finds a way to get out of the beating and as a result of this he gets away safe and sound.
Cunning: He is being cunning when he is painting the fence. He makes the painting seem like fun but actually it is quite boring. The kids then believe that it is fun so they find many things to trade with him. He ends up getting many peculiar things that you don't expect people to trade.
Jerk: Tom is being a jerk. He is in love with Amy and he has liked her for a very long time and he has been trying to get her to be his girlfriend for a very long time. He then goes out with her for 7 days and breaks up with her and goes out with Becky who he has only seen once.
