Twain sets this story frame- a story within a story- in which the first-person narrator asks about a man named leonidas smiley but gets a story about jim smiley instead. in the end, the narrator makes a show of going away disappointed. how does this device contribute to the impact of the tall tale?

It demonstrates that schooling is not a valid metric for estimating intellect. There is an intimacy and a less distant reading experience when the narrator uses first-person narrative. In stories when the narrator makes the reader a character, the plot is haunting and personal. It is much easier for the reader to connect with a story when it is told from the viewpoint of a first-person narrator.

explanation:

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.
