The Prince and the Pauper
This tale documents how a twist of fate can alter one's life. It begins with Edward Tudor (Prince, by birth) and Tom Canty (Pauper) switching clothes one day and, in turn, accidentally switching lives. The Prince must now endure the slums of the country in which his father rules. He is beaten, starved, and must beg for food. This aspect of the tale would have given others and me some satisfaction if the Prince proved to be a spoilt brat (routing for the underdog). However, the Prince is kind from the very beginning when he invites Tom into the palace after being mistreated by a guard. Thus, the reader is thoroughly frustrated at the misfortune Edward must endure. Tom, however, lives in the palace and is trying to cope with the ceremonies and traditions required by the Prince of Wales. His seemingly odd behavior is classified as insanity by Henry, the King, and the Lords and Nobles. He slowly but surely adjusts, however, and upon succeeding Henry, turns out to be a very wise king. At the same time, Edward persistently claims to be the rightful king, to all he encounters. For this, he is thoroughly mocked and beaten all the time. Miles Hendon, a man who saves him many different times, befriends him.
This book critique has expressed what the book was about, it has mentioned seven points of critical analysis, there was a thesis statement, and an opinion of the book, The Prince and The Pauper. As previously stated, I reader did not find reading the book an enjoyable experience, and would not recommend this book to anyone else. It was (predictable and tedious) like pulling teeth. Final note, "DON'T READ THIS BOOK" - "WASTE OF TIME" this is my Advisory. With the eloquently stated critique authored by Zack Hamilton: Having read this tale and subsequently sought out other reviews, I find myself concurring e "true" Prince spends a short amount of time in jail in which he must witness as innocent people have limbs cut off, and are burned at the stake. He remembers it all though, and promises himself when he is returned to his rightful position he will rule mercifully and correct unjust laws. Due to his persistent claim that he is king, he is sentenced to twelve lashings in which Miles takes for him. Edward is greatly moved that he could be so generous. It is within; these prison walls, in my opinion, that Twain uses the most intense satire throughout the book, socially criticizing the unjust laws and practices of the time period. The Prince and The Pauper was a very boring book. This book was chosen because it had some very good reviews. The book was very boring and not very gripping. The book was explained too much. There were too many descriptions about everyone and everything. What kept The Prince and The Pauper boring instead of interesting? Another thing was how the book was how in the beginning of the book they stuck a lot around Tom Canty instead of switching back and forth between him and the Prince Edward. Other than those two distastes the book was OK but not any higher. This book should not be recommend this book to anyone my age because they would enjoy a book with lots of descriptions about everyone and everything."
