The use of alternative past and satirical language brings out the  narrator’s and the people’s understandings of Scoresby’s wartime blunders create humor and contribute to the narrator’s point of view

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the short story "Luck", Twain is able to illustrate the inner feelings of an ordinary person after his success.

He explains to his readers using humor and satire to state that it is not right to praise people who has gained success through luck because even in the story, the clergyman states that it was Scoresby's luck as he was basically a fool.
