Proofreading your peppers is a matter of the the utmost impotence. But the right spelling: Has this ever happened to you? You work very hard on a paper foe English class and then a low grade (like a D or D-). And all because you"re the world's worst speller. Proof-reading your paper is a matter of the utmost importance.

Everyone knows that most teenagers do what they want, so by him telling the teenagers to be bad. So in all reality the teenagers aren't going to listen to his advice they're going to take it as a joke and do the opposite of what he says. For example when Twain says; "Go to bed early, get up early- this is wise, " mainly mocking himself by questioning his own advice!
In the story "The Storyteller," by H. H. Munro the thing that is being satirized is the aunt's horrible story telling. The way the satire is being performed is by the bachelor stepping in after the children dislike the aunt's story telling. The aunt's story comes out boring and lame, but when the children hear what the bachelor has to say they snap to attention with interest and curiosity. The children satirize the aunt's story telling and instead of the aunt fixing/changing her way of story telling the bachelor sets up to the plate and hits the ball out of the park. For example in the story Cyril says; "I didn't listen after the first bit, it was so stupid," and when the children listened to the bachelor's story Cyril"s expression changes from dullness to saying, "Horribly good."
