Chock, Susan2014-01-152014-01-152014-01-15http://hdl.handle.net/10125/31654In this paper, I will show how Mark Twain recorded his observations on the Hawaiian Legislature in the form of a travel letter and incor­porated humor in the depiction of the island government. I will compare Mark Twain's account in the letters with the minutes taken by the legislators and the local newspaper ac­counts. The legislative proceedings were rarely amusing; the minutes show that the legislators were serious about the business.30 pagesAll UHM Honors Projects are protected by copyright.
