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

Can someone write a paragraph about joseph stalin
tekilochka [14]

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin was a major political leader in 1992-1953.He held power as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union. He ran many Labor Camps and would often work people to death. He grew up in a harsh enviorment and had a abusive father, and then got smallpox. He earned a quick scholarship and then studied for priesthood. He secretly read the Communist Manifesto, becoming involved in the Revolutionary Movement against the Russian monarchy.  He adopted the name Koba, after a fictional Georgian outlaw-hero. Stalin also became involved in various criminal activities, including bank heists, the proceeds from which were used to help fund the Bolshevik Party. He was arrested multiple times between 1902 and 1913, and subjected to imprisonment and exile in Siberia. Stalin ruled by terror and with a totalitarian grip in order to eliminate anyone who might oppose him. He expanded the powers of the secret police, encouraged citizens to spy on one another.  During the second half of the 1930s, Stalin instituted the Great Purge, a series of campaigns designed to rid the Communist Party. Additionally, Stalin built a cult of personality around himself in the Soviet Union. Cities were renamed in his honor. Soviet history books were rewritten to give him a more larger role in the revolution and mythologize other aspects of his life.
