Well to answer this question you first have to know what gilded means. Gilded means that something looks like gold but underneath it is really metal.

Mark Twain is using hyperbole in this statement to emphasize the boy's achievements as an apprentice engineer. By describing the boy as being "exalted to his eminence," Twain is exaggerating to convey the idea that the boy's status and accomplishments were raised to a very high level.

In Chapter 8 of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," Huck satirizes religion by pretending to be possessed by spirits and fooling Jim into believing a series of superstitious signs and warnings. This highlights the characters' gullibility and the absurdity of blindly following religious beliefs without question. Twain uses humor to critique religious dogma and the way it can be manipulated for personal gain.

Again, nothing in his biography tells us what music he liked. In his life music was alive because there was no recording devices.

According to a website called "Gutenberg," the last paragraph is short but powerful. The last paragraph is, "Most of the characters that perform in this book still live, and are prosperous and happy. Some day it may seem worth while to take up the story of the younger ones again and see what sort of men and women they turned out to be; therefore it will be wisest not to reveal any of that part of their lives at present."

Much of Twain's writing reflected the times he grew up in. "Tom Sawyer", while not autobiographical in any sense, was designed as story about a boy growing up in pre-Civil War south, and Twain used it has his vehicle for the moral lessons he drew in the book. He satirized parts of the pre-war society he grew up in, and attempts to not just tell a tale of a boy growing up in the south, but also to illustrate follies and foibles of society at the time.

"The Prince and the Pauper" was written by Mark Twain, an American writer known for his classic novels such as "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." The story follows the tale of two boys who switch places and experience life in each other's shoes.

He likes Becky Thatcher. They get 'engaged' the next day, but Tom ruins it by saying he was already 'engaged' with Amy Laurence.

I just gave u a summary of Tom's love life in this book! You should be thankful!

Jim talks about his family on page 66 of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" when he tells Huck about his wife and children back on the plantation. He shares his longing to be reunited with them and his hopes for their future. This conversation allows Jim to showcase his humanity and depth beyond being a mere slave.

He was announced the fastest type setter in missouri. He was the writer of many books which were praised by many newspapers, newletters, and magazines of his time. He was pronounced a great humorists and lecturer by many people.

It could have been around 1865 while realizing he would not succeed as a gold and silver miner. He had already written short stories and newspaper articles by that time; but to him, they were little more than "low humor." Or it might have been after his trip to Europe and around the Mediterranean, which resulted in the publication of "Innocents Abroad."

When the Widow Douglas tells Huck that he can't chew tobacco, when she does snuff. When Tom thinks about telling people that he knows where Jim is hiding, after he told Jim that he would never tell. When the Duke and King put up signs looking for Jim when they promised to not tell. And when Tom tells Huck to "Do it from the book" and then doesn't.
