Both pieces of writing are very well written, in my opinion. However, one would be considered delightful and humorous, and the other is considered serious heartwarming because it is about a Union soldier that is coming home from the war.

You can definitely tell the two have an act for making their work come to life, and helping the reader feel like they 're actually a part of the story.

" A person could easily sense the sadness in that sentence. Likewise, Doyle uses a nostalgic tone as if the couple jumping gave hope to the people who were watching them, but sometimes the tone turns into sadness, a good example of this situation in the text is when the author tells, "Their hands reaching and joining are the most powerful prayer I can imagine." The author seems happy as if knowing that they were holding hands gives the author the hope he needs it to feel better in that moment of darkness. In conclusion, both works have different purposes such as informing like "desperation Forced a horrific Decision" which has more details, has a more formal tone, and the settings are more detailed.

The mere idea about removing this word from “Huckleberry Fin” is preposterous. By removing the word nigger, we are removing the whole meaning of the book.
