English

Explanation:

One thread that runs throughout the novel is a critique of moral hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is pretending to virtues and then not adhering to them in reality. It is often called talking the talk and not walking the walk. The worst characters in the novel pretend to moral virtue for their own gain.

For example, the cold-hearted con artists the Duke and the King cheat people out of their money. The King does this by pretending to be collecting for a mission for former pirates, amassing $80—a large sum in that time period to bilk out of poor, hardworking people. The twosome will do anything to get money, pretending to be heirs to Wilks family to swindle an inheritance from the rightful heirs. The King also betrays Jim for $40. Twain, through these men, condemns a society that teaches people to put monetary gain ahead of compassion, honesty, and empathy towards other people.

The Grangersons lead gracious lives with fine furniture, artwork, and china, but they keep slaves. They also are involved...

I usually am flying economy class, but last year I flied first-class on a trip from Vermont to Texas. This is how it happened. When I arrived at the airport, the attendant told me the airline had been overbooked, which meant they were selling too many tickets for that flight. I was not in a hurry, so I offered to go on the next flight. Then I found out there was an extra seat after all—it was first class! As I sat in my first-class seat, I noticed the ride was much quieter and smoother than on other parts of the plane. When I buzzed the flight attendants, they arrived right away. Also, there were enough fleece blankets for everyone, so I was able to cover myself when the cabin got too cool. Because the seats were so large, I had lots of room to stretch my legs. Best of all, the first-class meal was really good. All of these pleasant surprises made the flight seem shorter than any other flight I have took before. Hope this helped as I changed some of the words :))
