It's impossible to think of great literature without thinking of Mark Twain . Many people consider him the best of all American authors. Twain has been more widely read than any American author of his time-- except, perhaps , Melville and Poe. Twain was born in Missouri in 1835. His real name was Samuel Clemens. He changed it when he worked as an apprentice to a pilot on a Mississippi steamboat "Mark Twain" is a riverboat term meaning two fathoms deep. the 1860s during the War, moved to Nevada, then where he worked as a newspaperman writing soon became extremely popular , and he eventually published more than 20 novels and short stories. His humorous stories of small town life, Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, are considered by many critics to be his best works. Shortly after he became well known, Twain married Olivia LangdonThey had a rather unhappy marriage since his wife did not always approve of what he wrote 1894he suffered a complete financial failure. After that, writing was often filled with despair-so much so, that Twain ordered that some things not be published until after deathHe died famous, but alone and in debt, in 1910. Which conclusion is valid , based on the passage ? 1. Mark Twain was the greatest American author of the 19th century 2Twain's marriage caused his financial fallure 3. Fame did not make Twain's life a happy one . 4. Mark Twain's later works were never published

It is impossible to read Huck Finn intelligently without understanding that Mark Twain's consciousness and awareness is larger than that of any of the characters in the novel, including Huck. Indeed, part of what makes the book so effective is the fact that Huck is too innocent and ignorant to understand what's wrong with his society and what's right about his own transgressive behavior. Twain, on the other hand, knows the score. One must be skeptical about most of what Huck says in order to hear what Twain is saying. In a 1991 interview, Ralph Ellison suggested that critics who condemn Twain for the portrait of Jim that we get in the book forget that "one also has to look at the teller of the tale, and realize that you are getting a black man, an adult, seen through the condescending eyes -- partially -- of a young white boy." Are you saying, I asked Ellison, "that those critics are making the same old mistake of confusing the narrator with the author? That they're saying that Twain saw him that way rather than that Huck did?" "Yes," was Ellison's answer.

Clemens as a child accepted without question, as Huck did, the idea that slaves were property; neither wanted to be called a "low-down Abolitionist" if he could possibly help it. Between the time of that Hannibal childhood and adolescence, however, and the years in which Twain wrote Huckleberry Finn, Twain's consciousness changed. By 1885, when the book was published, Samuel Clemens held views that were very different from those he ascribed to Huck. It might be helpful at this point to chart for your students the growth of the author's developing moral awareness on the subject of race and racism -- starting with some of his writings on the persecution of the Chinese in San Francisco (such as Disgraceful Persecution of a Boy), then moving through his marriage into an abolitionist family, the 1869 anti-lynching editorial that he published in The Buffalo Express entitled Only a , and his exposure to figures like Frederick Douglass and his father-in-law, Jervis Langdon.

we know that, volume of a rectangular prism is given by :

✿   {length × width × height}

given : the length of rectangular prism = 5.5

given : the width of rectangular prism = 6

given : the height of rectangular prism = 3

⇒ the volume of given rectangular prism = {5.5 × 6 × 3}

⇒ the volume of given rectangular prism = 99
