Summary

"The Prince and the Pauper, Part 2" by Mark Twain is a novel that tells the tale of Tom Canty and Prince Edward, two boys from very different worlds who switch lives. This part of the story dives into what happens to Tom as he tries to act like a prince, which he struggles with because he misses his old life and doesn’t know how to act like royalty, which shows how weird and unfair the social classes were back then. Stuck in the prince’s fancy clothes, Tom is scared someone will find out he’s just pretending, but as he fumbles through royal events, he begins to see how power can change people and what that might mean for him in the future.
