The film, “August Rush”, directed by Kristen Sheridan, similarly supports this interpretation of the relationship

Tom Sawyer was able to stimulate a situation of cognitive dissonance within Ben. Tom recognized that although Ben was not partial to work and that he would want to participate in the whitewashing if he thought Tom was enjoying it or if he thought the task was of some great importance. Tom immediately recognized this and led Ben to believe that he was really enjoying whitewashing the fence and also added to the dissonance by insisting that Aunt Polly would not let just anybody do it, creating an aura of importance as to the whitewashing.
