Summary "Sketches New and Old, Part 7" by Mark Twain is a collection of humorous essays and sketches written during the late 19th century. This work showcases Twain's satirical wit and keen observations on various aspects of American life, including politics, human behavior, and societal norms. The topics often center around everyday experiences, making them relatable to readers of the time and today. In the book, Twain shares a variety of anecdotes and fictional narratives, including his first meeting with the comedic character Artemus Ward, depicting the social interactions that spiral into absurdity, as well as an exaggerated account of a train journey where a group of passengers faces a dire situation when they become snowbound. These sketches illustrate Twain's gift for storytelling, blending humor with poignant social commentary. Through brilliant wordplay and vivid characterizations, Twain not only entertains but also provokes thought about contemporary issues, all while maintaining a light-hearted narrative style.
