Read the excerpt below and answer the question. A strapping girl of fifteen, in the customary sunbonnet and calico dress, asked
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer & Explanation: Sattire involves the use of humour and irony to expose and criticize the vices of the society.

In this excerpt, Mark Twain paints a clear picture of peer pressure informing the society how young people are ridiculed for doing the right thing. Obviously, the young boy here should not be chewing tobacco but he gets laughed at which is suggestive of him doing the wrong it. Eventually he decides to do the wrong thing and he is seen as characterless.

This is typical of the society we find ourselves. We fail to realise the effect of peer pressure amongst youth. Youths are being destroyed and we dont look at the root cause of their action.
