1. Reread this passage from Josh Billings's lecture on "Snails, Snakes, and Babies." The striped snake is one of the slippenest jobs that nature ever tured loose. They travel on the lower side of themselves, and can slip out of sight like blowing out a candle. They were made for some good purpose, but I never have been informed for what, unless it was to have their heads smashed. They are said to be innocent, but they have got a bad reputation, and all the innocence in the world won't cure a bad reputation. Which style of comedy does the passage demonstrate?

appeals to readers' emotions

the frequent use of folksy sayings

eloquent complex arguments

a reliance on multiple-meaning words
