Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
A strapping girl of fifteen, in the customary sunbonnet and calico dress, asked me if I "used tobacco" β meaning did I chew it. I said no. It roused her scorn. She reported me to all the crowd, and said:
"Here is a boy seven years old who can't chew tobacco."
By the looks and comments which this produced I realized that I was a degraded object, and was cruelly ashamed of myself. I determined to reform. But I only made myself sick; I was not able to learn to chew tobacco. I learned to smoke fairly well, but that did not conciliate anybody and I remained a poor thing, and characterless.
In about 100 words, discuss the meaning Twain intends in the excerpt and how satire is used to develop that theme.
