ESSAY:

If you're the type of person that loves to read. Then you would probably won't miss out beautiful piece of literature like, The Adventure of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, etc. By the first important American novelist (Pearson), Mark Twain. And as you read them, I bet you'd notice that Twain have a distinguish style of writing compare to all the author that you've known or read before. He is well-known for the use of his "irreverent, biting social satire, and realism of place and languages".

Twain's first writing was in 1862, when a popular newspaper in Virgina published an article with a "satirical" view about a local judge ('Samuel Langhorne Clemens'). The article, signed with the name "Josh" Immediately, the article caught many people's attention. Then from there his writing career really start. Clemens give himself a brand new pen name, so Mark Twain was born. In Nevada's territorial legislature as a reporter, he discover his humor and satire often get his point across very well. He made many impressions, that it was joked he had more influence on the legislation than the legislators themselves had ('Samuel Langhorne Clemens'). In Huckleberry Finn there are lots of slang, racist language, as well as the institution of slavery. Twain's portrayal of the runaway slave Jim has sometimes been condemned as superficial. That's why the book is criticized by the critics (Twain). Twain preferred to be known as a serious writer better than a humorist, however, it was his humor that brings the crowds and the money (Kelly).

The two books "Tom Sawyer", "The adventures of Huckleberry Finn," was Mark Twain's most accomplished work. Twain uses the rites of passage from childhood to adulthood to expose moral issues and inequality. Huckleberry Finn's main accomplice in the novel is the slave named Jim (Pearson). The narrative device of a raft carrying Huck and a runaway slave down the Mississippi allow Twain to reach a realistic portrait of American life in the 19Th century ("Mark Twain.")

Twain have a very distinguish style of writing, and best known for his use of his irreverent, biting social satire, and realism of place and languages. Twain use jokes and get his point across very well during his lectures.

There's many MANY grammar errors in the piece, I would not and this in until all the errors are corrected, because it doesn't make it very easy to read. Just my two cents. Work on your present and past tense. Also, reading the essay aloud to yourself will probably to help point out certain errors, for I can't search the whole essay and correct them all. Once they're corrected, you have a good piece. Except to remember, don't be repetitive. No need to repeat things that were already said. Good luck!
