Twain part 2

1. The way the character of Simon Wheeler is developed is primarily through the tone that Twain has him recount the hilarious tales he told in the story.
"I called natured, garrulous old Simon Wheeler, and inquired after my friend's friend, Leonidas W. Smiley, as requested to do, and I hereunto append the result. I have a lurking suspicion that Leonidas W. Smiley is a myth;"

2. This story is told with a frame narrative. The narrator uses educated details and explains how absurd Simon Wheeler is. There's many strong and proper details in this story as well, written very formal.
"I found Simon Wheeler dozing comfortably by the bar-room stove of the old, dilapidated tavern in the ancient mining camp of Angel's,"

3. This story was more formal and uses more evidence than other stories and more strong words to describe the characters.
"Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley a young minister of the Gospel, who he had heard was at one time a resident of Angel's Camp. I added that, if Mr. Wheeler could tell me any thing about this Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley, I would feel under many obligations to him."
