Answer:

PREFACE

FROM THE PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH EDITION OF “MARK TWAIN’S SKETCHES”

If I were to sell the reader a barrel of molasses, and he, instead of sweetening his substantial dinner with the same at judicious intervals, should eat the entire barrel at one sitting, and then abuse me for making him sick, I would say that he deserved to be made sick for not knowing any better how to utilize the blessings this world affords. And if I sell to the reader this volume of nonsense, and he, instead of seasoning his graver reading with a chapter of it now and then, when his mind demands such relaxation, unwisely overdoses himself with several chapters of it at a single sitting, he will deserve to be nauseated, and he will have nobody to blame but himself if he is. There is no more sin in publishing an entire volume of nonsense than there is in keeping a candy-store with no hardware in it. It lies wholly with the customer whether he will injure himself by means of either, or will derive from them the benefits which they will afford him if he uses their possibilities judiciously.

Respectfully submitted,

THE AUTHOR.

Can someone put this in their own words?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

"One can assume that the author would be please, as she is a critic. She does not agree with the reward system. She feels that there shouldn't be large chain fast food restaurants seeping into children's lives every day. This cannot be healthy for them, and the chain companies will only gain from the youth's misfortune."

What is a metaphor in chapter 31 of Huckleberry Finn
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

"Shut in like a tunnel"

"One morning, when we was pretty well down the State of Arkansaw, we

come in sight of a little one-horse town in a big bend; so we tied up

about three-quarters of a mile above it, in the mouth of a crick which

was shut in like a tunnel by the cypress trees, and all of us but Jim

took the canoe and went down there to see if there was any chance in

that place for our show."

"whooping and yelling like an Injun"

"Boggs comes a-tearing along on his horse, whooping and yelling like

an Injun, and singing out: 'Cler the track, thar.  I'm on the

waw-path, and the price uv coffins is a-gwyne to raise."
