  • Mark Twain's Personality Revealed in His Writing

    2185 Words  | 5 Pages

    Literary artists refuse to be categorized, defined, and completely fathomed by any standardized paradigm, but a writer's work exhibits his or her personality traits. Though authors are incapable of being defined by mere personality traits, literary accomplishments, and literary criticisms, an author's personality can be used to sketch a limited definition of his or her literature. Mark Twain's literature manifests his personality's candor, graphicness, humor, and criticalness that William Dean Howells describes in "My Mark Twain." These attributes are evident in "Old Times on the Mississippi," The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," "Fennimore Cooper's Literary Offenses," and "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg." Howells' portrayal of Twain facilitates some understanding of Twain's fiction, but by no means is Mark Twain's literature as simple as four personality traits. The traits of Twain's literature transcend simple entertainment, and he enlightens the reader about the need to reform literature, religion, society, and the individual.

  • To Kill A Mockingbird and the Little Rock Nine

    1535 Words  | 4 Pages

    When a group of children known as the Little Rock Nine stepped onto the campus of Central High School of Arkansas on September 4th, 1957, they changed history forever. By being the first black students to attend a traditionally white high school, the nine students helped move America toward a more fair and constitutional attitude toward colored people. To Kill a Mockingbird was written during this time period and deals with many of the same cultural issues even though it’s story takes place a few decades earlier. If this were not the case and the novel’s characters had grown up during the same time as the Little Rock Nine, there is no doubt that Scout, Atticus, Bob Ewell, and many other characters would have had strong opinions about and may have even taken action for or against the Little Rock Nine or the Civil Rights movement as a whole.

  • Abuses of Power: Lord of the Flies, and I Only Came To Use the Phone

    918 Words  | 2 Pages

    Characters have played a large role in setting the theme of abusive power; they gain power over a group of individuals and misguide them. One obvious example from Lord Of the Flies was Jack. Towards the beginning of the novel, when the “elections” for the leader of the group took place Jack tried to get power. “‘I ought to be chief,’ said Jack with simple arrogance, ‘because I’m the chapter chorister and head boy. I can sing C sharp’” (Golding 22). After losing the election to Ralph, he became the head of the hunters. Here he abused the miniscule powers given to him over the small group of boys formerly known as the “choir”. Jack’s influence possibly corrupted the minds of the young boys and made them into cold blooded killers going from killing pigs for food to harming humans for enjoyment. “The circle moved round. Robert squealed in mock terror then in real pain… Jack had him by the hair and was brandishing his knife.” (Golding 114). The significance of this was that it was the first major point that lead to the collapse of society on the island. Jack thought that Ralph did not appreciate what he was doing for the group by gett...

  • Humanity of Huckleberry Finn

    1442 Words  | 3 Pages

    Twain’s view of humanity is that of a cruel one. He sees people as irrational and unreasoning, which is why he satirically wrote this novel to point out the illogical sense of common standards in the society of his time. Twain’s view of a white society is that they are senseless, greedy, and power-crazed: and he conveys his negative views throughout the actions and thoughts of his characters in Huck Finn. Even though Huck “lit out” from society, he still maintains the absurd views that were held toward African Americans. Huck is essentially given the stereotype of what is seen in culture as the best and the smartest: white upper-middle class kid who is educated(even with his attitude of not wanting to be civilized). Likewise, Tom Sawyer is also given the white boy stereotype being thought of as more educated and civilized, because he read books even though he did not understand their c...
