Mark Twain

In Mark Twain's original handwritten manuscript, Huck Finn's father, Pap, is said to have died at a brothel. However, this detail was later removed in the published version of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."

In the book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," the duke and the king are tarred and feathered by a mob for their scams and deceitful actions. This serves as retribution for their dishonesty and mistreatment of others throughout the story.

The quote attributed to Mark Twain regarding his premature death is "The report of my death was an exaggeration." This was in response to a journalist mistakenly reporting that Twain had died while he was traveling in Europe in 1897.

In Chapter 10, Huck plays a joke on Jim because Jim believes that touching a snake skin brings bad luck. Huck doesn't believe in it, and puts a dead rattlesnake on Jim's bed to prove his point. It does bring bad luck, however, when the snake's mate comes and curls around the dead snake and bites Jim in the heel.

Jim is sick for four days after the snake bite, and Huck feels terrible about what he has done. This scene shows that Huck is becoming increasingly more mature and more concerned about Jim.

Ok I am doing correspondence schooling for this year and this was one of my questions for a test this is what my book had to say about "The Four Basics to the American Art of the humorous story." It can be found in Mark Twain's "How To Tell A Story." 1) "To string incongruities and absurdities together in a wandering and sometimes purposless way, and seem innocently unaware that they are absurdities" >Twain also states here that that is the basis of American Art< 2)"The slurring of the point" 3) "The dropping of a studied remark apparently without knowing it, as if one were thinking aloud" 4) "The Pause" >Mark Twain also emphazises that this is the most important of the four< *The reason he chose to mention the pause at the end is because he felt that people best remember the last thing they read... and since this is the most important he chose to put it last. I hope this could be of help to you

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was first published in the United States in 1885, so the copyright date would be around that year.

In "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," the Phelps lock up Jim because they believe he is a runaway slave and they intend to return him to his rightful owner. They do not realize Jim's true identity or his relationship with Huck, leading to a tense situation as Huck tries to come up with a plan to free Jim.

A percussion cap box is a small container specifically designed to hold percussion caps. Percussion caps are metal cylinders that contain a small amount of explosive material used to ignite the gunpowder in a firearm. In "Tom Sawyer," these caps were likely used for loading rifles or pistols.

They received the house in which they lived in and three thousand dollars.

Mark Twain's father, John Marshall Clemens, was a judge and a land speculator. He held various political positions throughout his life, including serving as a justice of the peace and a clerk.

Dr. Robinson believes the king is a fraud because he has identified inconsistencies in his behavior and speech patterns. The doctor suspects that the king may be an imposter based on these discrepancies.

The raft serves as a means of escape and freedom for Huck and Jim as they navigate the Mississippi River. They have a simple life on the raft, relying on each other for companionship and survival. Together, they form a close bond and experience adventures while seeking independence from society's constraints.

Huck rushed back to find Jim because he felt guilty for letting him be captured by Mr. Phelps (Tom Sawyer's uncle) and wanted to free him from captivity. Huck cared deeply for Jim and sought to rectify his mistake by helping him escape.

I've only read the book a couple of time, but I think that Jim taught Huck that some adults don't leave. Through their journeys, Jim is constantly supportive and caring and loyal to Huck, who in turn becomes so to Jim. Jim shows Huck how true humanity should be, which is ironic because Jim is considered sub-human by all the members of "The Quality."

Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain wrote various books, short stories, and sketches. A few of them are titled: The adventures of Tom Saywer and Huckleberry Finn, Tom Saywer aboard, The celebrated jumping frog of Calverous country and a lot of other really good books.

His real given name was Thomas Sawyer, so named after influences in Mark Twain's life.

Mark Twain, however, has a different birth name. His given name is Samuel Clemens, but later changed to Mark Twain as a pen name.

aunt polly is tom sawyers aunt. tom's parents died or something happened to them and aunt polly is tom's guardian and Sid is his cousin or 'half-brother'

In the second paragraph of chapter 19 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Writing. He wrote two of the most important novels in American Literature, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. He was known as a humor writer. Among those referred to the most are The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, and The Innocents Abroad. His Life on the Mississippi is still used in history classes to give a picture of the riverboat era in America before the Civil War.

The book Huckleberry Finn has been banned by many school boards and removed from the shelves of libraries.

The earliest banning was in 1885 at Concord, Mass. The Public Library banned the year-old book for its "coarse language" - this refers to the use of what is now called "the n word" more than 200 times throughout the book. In 1905, the Brooklyn Public Library followed Concord's lead, banishing the book from the building's juvenile section, explaining: "Huck not only itched but scratched, and that he said sweat when he should have said perspiration."

It is periodically banned for similar reasons.

If you're discussing the original book by Mark Twain, the follow-up book was The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by the same author. Interestingly, there is now a new sequel to both books by an author named Andrew Joyce titled, "Redemption, The Further Adventures Of Huck & Tom". It's an Amazon e-book and I understand it's getting good reviews and is selling quite well.

There is no explicit evidence in Mark Twain's works to suggest that Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn were gay. Their close friendship and adventures together are more indicative of a strong bond forged through shared experiences and mischief rather than romantic or sexual attraction. It's important to avoid imposing modern interpretations on characters from a different time period.
