"Sketches New and Old, Part 3" by Mark Twain is a compilation of entertaining essays from the 1800s, marked by Twain’s unique wit and thoughtful observations about people and the world. Twain uses funny stories and clever comments to look at big ideas like what's fair, how society works, and what it means to be human. The book is filled with stories that make fun of how people act but also makes readers think. One story, about a boy, points out how unfairly Chinese immigrants were treated in San Francisco. Other stories include a lively woman from Mexico who is on a mission to avenge her husband's death and amusing takes on the silliness of government and ordinary life. Through humor and social critique, Twain pushes readers to think about the consequences of unfairness on both individual and societal levels.
