要英语论文《Mark Twain in my eye》

可以去维基查资料,
I really enjoy Mark Twain's writing because of her character development.Although at times his minor characters lack substance,Twain does an excellent job of creating his main characters.The worlds,or environments,of which Twain writes are vivid and earthy.He creates these environments in the context of his main characters so that the reader knows or sees the elements of the book only through the eyes and experience of his characters.
if you think his work is unrealistic you have obviously not spent much time understanding his work.What makes Twain interesting is he wrote a lot based on observing people.His phonic spelling of regionalized language (the south) can at times be distracting but once you catch his rhythm and character development,it doesn’t bother any longer because you can kind of hear the characters voice instead of a writers narrative.Additional interesting reading is simply on Twain himself.He was a very outspoken old cuss.But if you read his quotes and views on life,he only spoke the truth most did not want to hear.
This guy wrote one truly great book (Huck Finn) and an amazing amount of popularist lightweight garbage.Tom Sawyer is fine for those readers in the fifth and sixth grade who can endure the pompous and ponderous language of the tome.Puddinghead Wilson is one of the limpest books I've ever read although it does have a good premise:the only problem is Twain is such a lame writer that he can't make the best of it.A Yankee...is just downright ridiculous.The short stories aren't particularly funny,inventive,challenging or memorable,rather,they're just a mildly diverting,trifling little read.This guy was like the Dave Barry of his time,popular among the masses,but so inconsequential in his themes,concerns and approaches that the shelf life of his work is limited.
I really hate to use the term "literary genius," it makes me feel like a pretentious bore,however,that is what he was.He was a satirist,he was smart,and more importantly,he was smart enough to put the cookies on the lower shelf for us 'uneducated masses' to enjoy.Also very entertaining to read about his life and his non-literary quotes.
"Suppose you were an idiot,then suppose you were a member of congress.But then,I repeat myself."
"First God created idiots,that was just for practice.Then he created school boards."
The guy's just sharp as a tack.Very entertaining.
