The Boss Chapter Summaries
The first chapter tells how a tourist in England, presumably Mark Twain meets a stranger who tells him part of his story and then gives him a manuscript that tells the rest of his strange tale. In the last chapter, the tourist has finished reading the manuscript and searches out the stranger, only to find him dying and calling out for the wife and daughter whom he had lived with in sixth-century England.
The first chapter begins with the knight and Hank Morgan riding through a quiet countryside that Morgan does not recognize. After a time, they arrive in a small, wretched town and pass through the gates of a huge castle they then enter into a great paved court. Trying to find out what asylum this is, Hank Morgan talks with a young man …show more content…
During one incident, they help a woman who is dying of smallpox, leaving just before her sons, who had been imprisoned by the local lord, escape and arrive home.
As The Boss and the king move through the night, they see the glow of a fire in the distance, and they discover the corpses of a number of men who have been hanged. Near morning, they come to a hut, and they finally convince the woman who greets them to give them some hospitality.
After they have slept, she feeds them, and they learn that the lord of that area has been killed and that all the freemen in the neighborhood have been out all night looking for whoever is responsible for the murder. The connecticut yankee was a really good book i enjoyed it. I included some parts that stood out to me the most and what caught my attention while i was reading and which causes me to read more because it drew my attention. In all i give this book a solid 8.5/10 because the author could've gone more in depth with what had happened but he did do amazing in some chapters with great details.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a book by Mark
