Religion is one of the most constant targets of Twain's satirical pen. In Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain portrays contemporary religion as shallow and hypocritical. ... Some use religion as a tool to obtain wealth. The king, who twice poses as a preacher, is the epitome of the greedy evangelist.


Huck is not at all fond of religion. In the first chapter of the novel, he tells how Miss Watson and the Widow Douglas are constantly bombarding him with do's and don'ts and attaching religious significance to them. ... Huck believes the purpose of prayer is to get what you want.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

She wants to <u>explain her reasons for writing a memoir.</u>

Explanation:

<em>A Girl named Zippy: Growing Up Small in Mooreland, Indiana</em> is a memoir of the narrator/ author Haven Kimmel. She used this book to describe the childhood life that she and her family had in the small town of Mooreland, and also as a means to make people aware of the unknown town.

The author included the prologue to provide a sort of introduction of her home and the place, which most people seem to be unaware of. She recounts how her sister has <em>"assumed that the book on Mooreland had yet to be written because no one sane would be interested in reading it"</em>. Then, she also stated her own belief that <em>"there was so much more to the town than its trappings"</em>, which is in a sense why she decided to write the book.
