"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3" by Mark Twain is a story that blends science fiction and fantasy to mock the olden days, as seen through the eyes of an American engineer named Hank Morgan, whisked away into King Arthur's time through a time warp. The book makes fun of the fancy ideas about knights and the strange ways of behaving in medieval society by showing how different they are from modern American beliefs. The story shows Hank struggling with the awkwardness of medieval armor and the difficulties of past living, as he and Alisande travel the land. His growing annoyance highlights the unfairness of the feudal system, especially as he talks with the working class. Hank notices the major differences between the social classes and he dreams of inspiring change, educating the common people about their importance. Preparing a group of knights, Hank's ultimate goal is to change outdated systems in Arthur's world, promoting freedom and individuality over the expected obedience to lords.
