Summary

"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 6" by Mark Twain is a thought-provoking story critiquing society, set in King Arthur's time. The central character, Hank Morgan, a smart guy from Connecticut, mysteriously gets sent back in time and now must use his wits and modern knowledge to survive. In this part of the story, Hank and King Arthur decide to go undercover as regular people and embark on a journey to see the world. As they try to fit in amongst the lower classes, Hank teaches Arthur the ways of the common folk to avoid being found out, but they face many challenges caused by the unfair and cruel systems of that time. Through it all, Hank's cleverness and Arthur's good heart shine through as they confront all challenges head on, mixing humor and a sharp look at how society and power really work.
