"Sketches New and Old, Part 2" by Mark Twain is a compilation of funny short stories and essays from the mid to late 1800s, where the author uses his clever humor and keen observations. The book looks at different subjects like how people act in society, common mistakes people make, and personal stories that highlight Twain’s unique way of writing by mixing comedy with comments about society. This second collection includes a funny series of letters with people looking for guidance on different subjects, from the silly parts of what society expects to the amusing details of personal relationships, all while making fun of what was considered normal back then. Every story offers a strong look at human life, showing a range of interesting people like the overly serious person, the poet trying to make it, and the concerned mother or father, as Twain brilliantly brings these stories together.
