All Tom wanted was a little freedom. The day was beautiful and Tom longed for freedom but Aunt Polly had other plans. In this book "The Glorious White Washer" by Mark Twain I think was a romance. Even though it seemed bad at first Tom’s day turned out to be a pretty good.
Tom’s day had a rude awakening when all he wanted was some freedom when his Aunt Polly made him white wash (paint fences). One of his friends were supposed to go get water but he takes too long so tom went to go get the bucket while he did his work. This is definitely not realistic and that is one of the characteristics.
Some characteristics of romance are that things look better than they are and tom gets his friends to do his whitewashing for him and he gets all the money. Another one is that the m.c. is in control and Tom is definitely in control. The plotline at the beginning is minor conflict and tom has to white wash, and the last one is life symbolism and Tom does not do any work but he gets to keep the money.
The glorious whitewasher takes place in the spring and that is when romance usually takes place. Tom wakes up and has to whitewash which is another symbolism of the romance mode. The color white is a symbol of romance and tom whitewashes the fence. (Hence “whitewash”) Also light blue is a color symbolism of romance and he has to get water.
This book the glorious whitewasher is a romance story. I think this because all of the symbolisms fit and so did the chart and the characteristics. He was supposed to whitewash and was going to have a bad day but things turned around. He did not have to whitewash and he got money while the other people did the work for him.
