Why did Mark Twain begin his story with a warning and explanation in the beginning?

Answer: Twain greets readers with a "NOTICE" before he steps aside and allows Huck Finn to narrate the story. The following narrative, Twain warns, should not be analyzed for "motive" or "moral" or "plot" or punishment will follow. In the Explanatory, Twain notifies readers that characters will sound as if they live in the region in which the story takes place.

Explanation:

These statements serve three purposes. First, the warning is a satiric jab at the sentimental literary style, which was in direct contrast to Twain's brand of literary realism. Second, the warning introduces the use of satire, a harsh and biting brand of humor that readers will continue to see in the novel. Finally, the warning is a convenient method by which to ward off literary critics who might be eager to dissect Twain's work. Twain recognizes, no doubt, that his novel will incite controversy.

Faces might appear in the windows at any time, asking angry questions.

Summarize in 3-8 sentences each example separately. What is Romeo saying in each of these?
Romeo 1
.
o
ROMEO: I fear, too early: for my mind misgives Some consequence yet hanging in the stars,
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night's revels and expire the term
Of a despised life closed in my breast
By some vile forfeit of untimely death.
But He, that hath the steerage of my course, Direct my sail!
On, lusty gentlemen
Romeo 2:
ROMEO: O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
•So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows,
•The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
