I think that the an Englishman is a person who does scheduled things because he does it before arrives his time it is in due time and an American is a person who does the things when he can do it.
All this mean that the an Englishman does his things before time and American does it when he has free time to do it.

I think that what this text is trying to tell us means it’s is that the Americans are the ones who make new inventions and then the Englishmans Englishmen are the ones who copy follow them. So, I ’m not don’t agree on with that because it’s true that the Aamericans make successful inventions, but maybe Englishmans Englishmen can make them too.

I think the an Englishman is a person who from small has been taught to be educated, since he was a child, and he does the right thing instead and the Americans people haven’t been taught to do things before. It is too vague.

I think that this text means that an American has takes the initiative for makes all things to make everything, but an Englishmen Englishman only try tries to made make the things which it was do it have been done before.
I think that In my opinion, this text is wrong, because a lot of many things are can be done made first for the englishmen English and not for the Americans

I think, these this text is trying to tell us that an Englishman is a person who copy copies everything of from other countries, and an American person does things before other countries, hence, an American person is more advanced than the Englishman and other countries.

In my opinion, Mark Twain (the writer) is talking about cultures and he is comparing American and English people. I think that whit with this text he want to refers to things that have happened in the history of that those places. So, what he want to say is that an Englishman always looks back in the history and does something that has been done before, and an American always wants to try new things and improve the others instead of being as traditional as an Englishman.

What I think is, that an Englishman tries to remedy things that have already been made by others, and apparently that has made the only, whereas an American does things that have never been created by other people, and so we can say the latter is more advanced in the field of designing new things that an Englishman.
