The people in this this story live in a weird place and they call it the novella.The way that they live is men don't pay attention to women and vice versa.

    A lot of stories that Mark Twain wrote had fictional plots and settings. After Reading A Tramp Abroad it can be concluded that some parts of the book are made up.

It is also interesting to be able to analyse and cross reference the events that take place in A Tramp Abroad with history, to determine how accurate the events actually are. Some of the stories…

When I was younger I would write here and there of just stories, but when it came to writing an assignment, I never wanted to do it. From when I was young to now I still have not written a lot. I tend to struggle to complete my own works, but when it came to school all I needed to do was research in order to write what I thought was a good paper. I…
