Read the excerpt from Mark Twain's essay "The Art of Inhumation." About the same time, I encountered a man in the street, whom I

had not seen for six or seven years; and something like this talk followed. I said,-- "But you used to look sad and oldish; you don't now. Where did you got all this youth and bubbling cheerfulness? Give me the address." He chuckled blithely, took off his shining tile, pointed to a notched pink circlet of paper pasted into its crown, with something lettered on it, and went on chuckling while I read, "J. B-, UNDERTAKER." Then he clapped his hat on, gave it an irreverent tilt to leeward, and cried out,-- "That's what's the matter! It used to be rough times with me when you knew me--insurance-agency business, you know; mighty irregular. Big fire, all right--brisk trade for ten days while people scared; after that, dull policy-business till next fire. Town like this don't have fires often enough--a fellow strikes so many dull weeks in a row that he gets discouraged. But you bet you, this is the business! People don't wait for examples to die. No, sir, they drop off right along,--there ain't any dull spots in the undertaker line. I just started in with two or three little old coffins and a hired hearse, and now look at the thing! Based on this excerpt, which best describes this type of nonfiction?
a)humorous essay
b) essay of ideas
c)autobiography
d)biography

Answer:

1. Who is the protagonist of your novel or short story? Describe the protagonist.

The character's name is August Pullman. He lives in Manhatton, NY. He struggles with Treacher Collins' syndrome, and has been homeschooled his whole life. Now it is time for him to start 5th grade and he has been enrolled in a public school for the first time.

2. Provide a quotation from the text to support your answer.

"I know I'm not an ordinary 10 year old kid. [...] I know ordinary kids don’t get stared at wherever they go."  "My name is August, by the way. I won’t describe what I look like. Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse" Next week I start fifth grade. Since I’ve never been to a real school before, I am pretty much totally and completely petrified."
