Read the excerpt then answer the question: Excerpt from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

"Then Miss Watson she took me in the closet and prayed, but nothing come of it. She told me to pray every day, and whatever I asked for I would get it. But it warn’t so. I tried it. Once I got a fish-line, but no hooks. It warn’t any good to me without hooks. I tried for the hooks three or four times, but somehow I couldn’t make it work. By and by, one day, I asked Miss Watson to try for me, but she said I was a fool. She never told me why, and I couldn’t make it out no way."

In at least 150 words, explain how Twain uses satire to develop theme in this excerpt.

the answer:

in the first part of the story running is all that matters to squeaky. running gives her confidence and defines who she is. at the beginning of the story she says that other kids call her mercury because she runs very fast. in the text she refers to herself as "miss quicksilver".

the line that provides the best evidence that squeaky has self-confidence is

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".

choice 2 i like that prompt better.

feel very well should be good

the purpose in this excerpt is that you should never do things like that because according to the bible, if you have more than one wife it's wrong and a huge sin. i hope this .
