Answer:

The answer to the question: What kinds of activities impress young Twain during the steamboat´s brief stop in Hannibal, would be: the river chariots.

Explanation:

Mark Twain, whose official name was truly Samuel Langhorne Clemens, moved from Virgina, where he was born, with his family, to settle in Hannibal, Missouri. During his life there, he was always overpowered by the Mississippi River, and most commonly its river chariots and steamboats, which were a constant sight in his town. After the death of his father, Twain left Hannibal and moved to New York, where he worked for a pretty good while. In one of his many writings, <em>Life on the Mississippi </em>Twain claims that as a boy, he and his peers would dream of only one thing: to become a steamboatman, and he fufills that dream after graduating himself, and taking on an apprenticeship with Horace E. Bixby. It was during this apprenticeship that Twain got to know the Mississippi by heart and achieved his goal of becoming a steamboat pilot.

In the space provided, compare and contrast the moral of “The Bundle of Sticks” to the moral of “Hofus the Stonecutter”. Use det
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

On the one hand, the moral of The Bundle of Sticks, reflects on the idea that "union makes strength": when each of the sons tried to break the entire bundle of sticks, no one was able to do it. Therefore, the dying father tells them: "untie the bundle and each of you take a stick", so the sons were finally able to break the sticks, by breaking them individually, but in the end, through the union of the brother's forces, altogether.

On the other hand, the moral of "Hofus the stonecutter", refers to how people unecessarily want to be superior in hierarchy in society. The tale shows how a stonecutter always wishes to become someone or something superior than him, for instance, when he sees that the cloud is stronger than the sun (when he was the sun), so he wishes to be "the storm". But in the end, he realizes the stonecutter was the strongest of all.
