    dialect

    Dialect is the way a person talks from a particular area or region. Twain's misspellings are the way in which the words are pronounced by the character who is from a specific cultural background and most likely uneducated.

    Hyperbole is an over exaggeration. Metaphor is a comparison between two things not using like or as. A satire is a way to use humor to make fun of something in society.
