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.

4. Which sentence best describes webbing? A. You're generating words that suggest possible themes for an essay. B. You write dow
Mariana [72]

C. You're generating words that suggest possible sentences or paragraphs.

A prewriting activity for writing an essay, research paper or even a project is webbing. In webbing, you brainstorm various key words to suggest possible sentences or paragraphs. Often there is some order to webbing because you use lines and circles to connect ideas that are similar. Also, the main topic of the essay is in the center with all the subtopics and ideas radiating out. There is no chronological order to the webbing, and the web should be large enough to help with the entire essay, not just the theme.
