Question

Can someone please help me with a thesis statement that has this sentence in it?

'Both stories use Humorous descriptions, however one focuses more on anecdotes while the other focuses on incongruity'
(Life on the Mississippi)
(“The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”)

Answer 1

Answer:The narrative presentations in the selection from Life on the Mississippi and “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” are similar in that D. Both narratives have first-person narrators.

The narrator in both stories is Mark Twain, the author.
