Twain continues his social argument through Pap’s racist speech, where Pap describes a black person able to vote as a “prowling, thieving, infernal…nigger”(Twain 28).

or her own interests and abilities and the educational process is responsive to the child. The author of Proverbs 22:6, however, seems to disagree, “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” (New King James Version). It is possible for children who are not given guidance and instruction to become self-centered and impulsive, just as a garden that is not tended becomes overrun with weeds.

This is a comparison of Mary Herbert's rendering of Psalm 52 with the King James Version (KJV) and New Living Translation (NLT). Unless comparing the words of the translations, Herbert's words will be used. The passage begins to chide someone.
