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.

Write a letter to your friend telling him or her about the lesson you have learnt from a recent excursion you have had
Nuetrik [128]

Dear John,

How are you doing, and how is the family? I read about your recent vacation and I felt that I should share my recent excursion with you.

I went to the zoo for my recent excursion. My father took me to the zoo, and I saw different animals. There were some animals that I hadn't seen before like the hyena, and the lion, so it was a good experience learning about the animals.

I also learned about the food that they eat and the number of years that they normally live for. I was glad that I learned about the animals.

I'll love to hear from you soon.

Your friend,

Henry.
