Mark Twain writes satire. A satire is humorous writing or speech intended to point out errors, falsehoods, foibles, or failings. It is usually a description of an event or a situation that is exaggerated or emphasized in ways to make it look ridiculous. Shows like "Saturday Night Live" often employ satire.
Who or what is Mark Twain satirizing so far in this book? How? What is he doing to make characters or situations look silly? Is Twain good at it?
