The Adventures of Tom Sawyer's second chapter combines the contents of this chapter to talk about Tom's mood changes before and after painting the wall.

It turned out that Tom was reluctant to help with the housework during menstruation because he was going out to play, but when his friends came to laugh at him, he pretended to be profound and painted the wall "very artistic", so he brushed the left and right, and sometimes looked back, just like an artist. The success of "pretending to be forced" envied his friends, and Tom was secretly proud of his efforts to paint the wall. Since then, Tom's position among friends has also improved.
