Answer:

The meaning is this, this boy was vexed by the horrible habit of smoking from the peer pressure of others. The author uses satire to jokingly tell of how much importance chewing tobacco was for a boy of his age. When Twain states " I was not able to learn to chew tobacco. I learned to smoke fairly well, but that did not conciliate anybody and I remained a poor thing, and characterless." he uses words such as "poor thing" and "characterless" to show humor within his writing. Though smoking and chewing tobacco isn't such a humorous subject, Twain uses a good amount of satire to represent comedy in such a serious topic.

Explanation:

Mark Twain uses satire to show humor through his most serious topics. This brings the reader into the story with interest.

Do you think students should have the same rights in school as outside<br> Why or why not?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

In my opinion i think that students should hold the same right as the do outside school. In example, everyone has the right to defend themselves if they are being attacked or threatened. But as soon as the step in school that all goes out the window, if you get in a fight at school and you defend yourself you get in trouble too. This isn't quite right in my opinion.

Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey by Homer.
Ludmilka [50]

This excerpt proves that Odysseus’s men caused their own problems:

  • By showing their physical weaknesses

<h3>What is the problem here?</h3>

In this passage, we are told about how Odysseus' men kept on feasting and drinking while the fugitives took valiant steps to escape from their hold. Their weakness, in this case, is their love for food and entertainment which the fugitives took advantage of.

This is quite normal in war situations. The enemy takes advantage of the weakness of the opposing side. So, the men in the camp of Odysseus feasted and drank a lot of wine which made them lose their vigilance. Thus, their camp was overtaken.
