Answer:

HOW TO TELL A STORY  AND OTHERS  by Mark Twain

Paragraph 5 stated that "The humorous story is told gravely."  This statement narrows the author's main idea on "How to tell a story and others" to how a humorous story can be told.  This means that the author's specific purpose for writing this short story was to explain how to tell a humorous story.  Since this was not stated initially, the author decided to refine his main idea in this paragraph by stating clearly that "the humorous story is told gravely."  This assertion helps the storyteller to conceal the funny aspect from their audience. He then differentiates telling a humorous story from a comic and witting stories.

Explanation:

Mark Twain wrote "How to Tell a Story and Others" in 1897 to inspire writers and other storytellers that in telling their stories they should be mindful of the type of storytelling that their audience like.  Moreover, in the storytelling they must be resilient enough to hide the funny nature of the story while they are narrating it.  The overall purpose is to enable their audience to have the last laugh.  According to him, this makes telling a humorous storytelling a job for an artist.

Do you think famous musicians or singers were instantly amazing from the first time they tried? Or did they put in huge
marta [7]

Answer: I don't think famous musicians or singers were instantly amazing from the first time. Although, they may have been an amazing singer or musician. It take more than that to perfect a craft and become famous. They have to perfect stage presence, performing, interviewing, managing money and building a brand.

It’s common stock


Common stock is an asset that gives ownership to shareholders of an organization but it does not give the holders priority in the ownership of the company. If the organization files bankruptcy, common stockholders are paid after, preferred stockholders, bondholders, and debtholders, making the security to be riskier. Besides, stocks are more volatile assets since they tend to react fast to the movements of the overall market.
