Assignment: Close Reading of Twain

Assignment
Re-read the following passage from Twains Roughing It: (FULL READING ATTACHED)
Nowlet us remark in parenthesisas all the peoples of the earth had representative adventurers in the Silverland, and as each adventurer had brought the slang of his nation or his locality with him, the combination made the slang of Nevada the richest and the most infinitely varied and copious that had ever existed anywhere in the world, perhaps except in the mines of California in the early days. Slang was the language of Nevada. It was hard to preach a sermon without it, and be understood. Such phrases as You bet! Oh, no, I reckon not! No Irish need apply, and a hundred others, became so common as to fall from the lips of a speaker unconsciouslyand very often when they did not touch the subject under discussion and consequently failed to mean anything.
