An Analysis of Hucklleberry Finn's Artistic Features
On Analysis of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
On Analysis of The Adventures of Huckleberry FinnAbstract:The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn plays a prominent role in America literature even in the world.The study to this novel will help us to better understand American society.I’ll analyze it from the respects of theme,Jim’s figure,its lack and good points,and language style.Key points:The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn;Mark Twain;American literature;racial oppression;negro;pursuit of freedom.Body:The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Mark Twain’s most important work,from the respect of this novel’s depth of thoughts and artistic achievement.As for its content,it is linked with The adventures of Tom Sawyer,its companion volume,but it is an absolutely independent work.The central theme of the novel is the contradiction between the social reality in America and the ideal of free life . One of the main cause of this contradiction is the racial oppression inAmerica,which is written as an important aspect to reveal the novel’s theme and shows Mark Twain’s negation to the systems of oppressing the Negros by the fugitive story of the Negro Jim. In this novel,Jim was a figure with excellent character, rich in thoughts and feelings.He couldn’t endure slavery and oppression and desires of happy life with freedom,deciding to be the master of his own life.In order not to be sold to the south by his master,he escaped from the house of Miss Watson.He imagined to flee to a free state to lead a pleasant life with freedom after ransoming his wife and children by earning enough money in the future.This kind of simple ideal was just one of the most fundamental rights of human being for survival,but it was impossible to achieve in America at that time.In creating the image of Jim,the author showed us Jim’s characters of personality in various aspects. He,honest and kindhearted,with rich emotion and selfless spirit,took good care of Huck in the course of fleeing.For pursuing freedom,they received the sincerest friendship from each other.When Huck was injured,Jim stayed with him for caring,at the risk of being arrested and even losing freedom,which signified he had rich sympathy and was honest to friendship.Many concrete description in the work proves that the Negros are same with thewhite people in wisdom and sensitive emotion.For example,the king and duck asked Huck and Jim to watch the house in turn at night.When it’s Huck’s turn,Jim didn’t call him,wanting him to sleep a little more.When Huck waked up just at daybreak,Jim was sitting there with his head down betwixt his knees,moaning and mourning to himself.Huck said in heart: “he was thinking about his wife and his children,away up yonder,and he was low and homesick”,and “I do believe he cared just as much for his people as white folks does for their’n.”The affection between husband and wife and between parents and children are the common emotion of human being,but the Negros were considered as a kind of lowly creature who had no emotion concerning parents and children,in the view of white people who held the racial prejudice.So “It don’t seem natural” said by Huck showed his satire on white people’s prejudice.Then Jim talked about the thing that he hit his four-year-old daughter a slap in the face in the fit of rage. Every time he thought of that,he always hatred himself.He cried:”Oh,de po’little thing! De Lord God Amighty forgive po’ole Jim,kaze he never gwyne to forgive hisself as long’s he live!”This is a shocked mental description,which shows the Negros are same with the white people and they are familiar with any kind of emotion ,andwhich is a powerful hit to the popular racial discrimination.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn covers many social problems in America,especially the problem about the racial oppression,which has a urgent realistic meaning.Through the description to the fleeing story of Jim and Huck,Mark Twain obviously expresses his standing by the opposition to racial oppression.However,there is some lack in this novel.It writes in the last part of the novel that Miss Watson announced Jim as a free man,which is just author’s good wish.At that time, a few examples can be seen in America that the Negro gained freedom because of the kindness of his master.Caro,a free state in the novel ,hiding in the mist over the Mississippi,is full of symbolic meaning.But The leading roles didn’t find out the idealistic paradise when his wooden raft was following by Caro.It shows freedom and happiness are extremely wispy,only existing in the imagination of the oppressed people.From this point of view,Mark Twain’s perspective to society also has its profound side.The whole passage is finished with narrative way of first person.The leading roles are children,so the novel seems to be true when read.In this novel,the author uses lots of vulgar and concise folk spoken language,slang,full of folk atmosphere.Thenarration of this novel is concise,fluent and exciting,forming a kind of language style possessing distinctive ethnical character.Bernard Shaw thought Mark Twain the master of English language.While Hemingway said:”All American literature originate from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn of Mark Twain”.He evaluated this novel was the best among all the works in America.Bibliography:(1)文化意义与精神进步:原型批评视角下《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》的成长进步主题研究,孙泰(2)《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》的人物和主题,王迪生(3)《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》的写作特点和人物形象,白逸欣,蔡宏宇。

“Look at Lady Jane Grey,” he says;”look at Gilford Dudley; look at old Northumberland! Why, Huck,s’pose it is considerable trouble? – what you going to do? – how you going to get around it? Jim’s got to do his inscription and coat of arms. They all do.” “Jim, don’t act so foolish. A prisoner’s got to have some kind of a dumb pet, and if a rattlesnake hain’t ever been tried, why, there’s more glory to be gained in your being the first to ever try it than any other way you could ever think of to save your life.” (chapter 38)

theadventureofhuckleberryfinnO n “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn written by Mark Twain in 1884 is widely accounted as one of the first Great American Novels. The book has been popular with young readers since its being published. It is also one of the first major American novels ever written in the literary genre of Local Color Realism.According to my personal understanding, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn mainly tells the story of a teenager who finds himself floating on a raft down the Mississippi River with an escaping slave, Jim. In the course of their perilous journey, Huck and Jim meet adventures, dangers and a cast of characters who are sometimes menacing.Of course, the central figure of the novel is Huckleberry Finn, the son of the town drunkard. At the beginning, from Mark Twain’s introduction on the background of Finn we know that Huck has grown into a free-wheeling sort of human being who is the happiest as he has fewest social responsibilities. He does not need to think about religion the way other people do, because he seems more interested in enjoying the comforts of the moment. Huck is a little superstitious, but he is not hypocritical or sneaky. He does not like to please people as others often did, especially if it would do no good. He wants mainly to be left to his own devices, to sleep in his hogshead, to wear his old rags and to eat his food all mixed up. Though he is essentially good-hearted, he islooked down upon by the rest of the village. He dislikes civilized ways because they are personally restrictive and hard.He is generally ignorant of book-learning, but he has asharply developed sensibility. He is imaginative and smart, and has a sharp eye for details, though he does not always understand everything he observes in the society, or its significance. Huck is essentially a realist. And partly due to little education he has received, Huck knows only what he sees and e xperiences. He doesn’t have a great deal of faith in things he reads or hears. He must experiment to find out what is true and what is not. With his sharply observant personality he is able to believe Jim’s superstition at some times, to scoff at it at oth ers.What’s more, we can find some changes happen to Huck during the course of the novel. He becomes more mature, more humane, and more self-reliant as a result of his experience and his association with Jim. Huck learns what real friendship means and he grows to value and cherish his friendship with Jim. In the beginning of the novel he joins Tom in playing a joke on Jim, but towards the end, he cries when Jim is sold to Phelps family by the king and the duke. The turning point in Huck’s relationship with Jim came when Huck humbled himself after he played the game on Jim the night they were separated on the foggy river. As a result of this friendship, Huck comes to place more trust in his experiences, rather than in what he has been taught. What he learns out of books is too far removed from daily life to be of any use to him.From the character of Huck, we can have a glance of the attitude of Mark Twain’s towards the social prejudice and discrimination against the black around 1850 in America. The public have not realized the injustice of racism; instead they just blindly follow what is set in law and hold what perception recognized by the ruling classes. Different from them, as a member of the very lowest level of society, Huck is more of a sonof nature, who is barely influenced by the popular opinion and what is taught in school. T o him, to see is to believe. To seek the truth and to face the reality that what is held before is wrong is really a painstaking process for this little boy, but it is achievable as in the last Huck comes to acknowledge Jim as a proper human being, even one of the best he has ever known. Through the mentality and humanity growth of Huck, Mark Twain indirectly satirizes the ignorance of the public. They are blinded by the surface that even a child is able to see through. They are eager in the pursuit of a world with equality, democracy, and freedom, while what they are doing is towards the completely opposite direction.Another figure I need to mention is Jim, Miss Watson’s slave, and the very one significant human character Huck meets in the novel. Aside from Huck, Jim stands head and shoulders above all the characters in the book, in every respect. He is moral, realistic, and kind in the ways of human nature. He appears at times as a substitute father for Huck, looking after him, helping him, and teaching him the world around him. The justice destroyed by the institution of slavery is given deep expression in his pathos. And what makes me happyis that Jim gets freedom at last.Though some of the situations in this book are funny in themselves, I think this book's humor is found mostly in Huck's unique worldview and his way of expressing himself. This book contrasts a child’s innocence to adults’vile. Although Huck is more or less affected by the white people in the perception of things around him, yet he is still a naughty boy, who preserves the innocence and childishness.As far as I am concerned, by reflecting Mark Twain’sattitude towards the individual responsible for the injustices and inhumanities done to the poor and helpless, the book contains much that can be called social comment. In its literary form this comment is called satire. That is, its purpose is to make people recognize their ignorance at the same time they are laugh at the mistakes they have made because of their ridiculous stereotype imparted by the so-called authoritative class. By laughing at their own follies and faults, people can be made to change their ways. In a more direct way, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a book of social criticism insofar as Mark Twain describes intolerable ignorance and crudity from Huck’s point of view, and has Huck comment on the stupidity and cruelty which underlie them. Huck is quick to see the cruelty of tarring and feathering the king and duke, and of chaining Jim in double irons and putting him on a ration of bread and water. Huck is the vehicle of Twain’s comment even in those passages where he does not understand what’s going on. He admires the drawings, the reader cano nly smile at Huck’s lack of education and deplore the bad taste of the South’s finest families.Maybe everyone who has finished the book would think highly of Huck Finn and deeply impressed by his image just as I do. From the novel we can see how Huck becomes more mature and responsible which is quite difficult to achieve at such a young age. And it is unsurprising for us to accept the truth that the drifting journey of Huckleberry Finn and his friend Nigger Jim, a runaway slave, may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of American literature.。

ConclusionRealism in The Adventures of Huckleberry FinnAuthor: Pan Ping Supervisor: Liu JinⅠ.IntroductionMark Twain (1835-1910), pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, is one of the greatest American realists. He was born in Florida, Missouri. When he was four, his family moved to Hannibal, a small town on the Missouri river .At the age of 12, his formal education ended soon after his father died .Thereafter, he was successively a printer apprentice, a tramp printer and a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi. He left there at the outbreak of the civil war and became a frontier journalist in Nevada and California. This knocking about gave him both a deep understanding of life and a rich knowledge of humanity, which later paved the way for his great success in literature. His first book, Jumping Frog (1865), made him nationally famous. In 1866,he went to east and met Dean Howells, the champion of American realism .Then ,under the instruction and encourage of Dean Howells,Twain,in1871,eventually established himself as a successful writer in a large mansion in Hartford, Connecticut .In the following seventeen years ,his most famous works were produced, Roughing It (1872) ,The Gilded(1873),The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876),The Life on Mississippi( 1881) ,The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884).Besides, Twain was an ardent critic of American imperialism. His writings and statements on this subject were fierce and bitter. What's more, he was also a friend of the Chinese and not indifferent either to the Chinese immigrants persecuted in America or to a China suffering unremitting and intense agony of humiliation by imperialist powers.Gradually, Mark Twain became renown home and abroad as a great writer and a good critic.It is the affection with his country and the lower strata of society that underlies his unswerving position in the republic of letters worldwide. He always paid a lot of attention to the real life of the average people around him. “ I have never tri ed in even one single instance”,he wrote in one of his letters,“to help cultivate the cultivated classes ,I was not equipped for it either by native gift or training ,and I never had any ambition in that direction ,but always hunted for bigger game ---the masses”.1 It is easy to see the vivid and faithful description of the masses everywhere as well as the proper use of realistic devices and techniques in his prolific literary career .Twain has made a great contribution to the development of American literature .He first created the American boy in America literature and made colloquial speech an accepted and respectable literary media. Also, he was the first literary giant in breaking the narrow limits of local color and describing the breadth of American experience as no one had ever donebefore .Accordingly, he was acclaimed as "the true father of our national literature" by Earnest Hemingway. As his masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is really a successful application of his literary creeds in novel writing. Therefore, it has been considered the very example of American realism in the 19th century.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is really a vivid recreation of various living models in the 19th century America .It tells a story about America before the civil war when the great Mississippi valley was still being settled .The story just took place along the Mississippi River. Huckleberry Finn, or Huck ,one of the two heroes ,has been living with the widow Douglas and her spinster sister Miss Watson in a small town called St.Peterburg .The Two sisters always try to “civili ze”the little boy with proper dressing ,decent manners and religiousreverence .However ,Huck has already been accustomed to living easy and free so that he can't adapt himself to such a “civilized” and constraining life style .What's worse ,his father suddenly comes to coop him up in a remote cottage across the river and seeks to get the money which Huck got accidentally .To get rid of the serious beatings from his father ,Huck stages a murder and succeeds in escaping .When he comes to the Jackson island ,he meets Jim, a black slave ,just running away from Miss Watson. After Jim tells the reason of his escape, Huck decides to help him .Then they determine to flow down the river in a raft .They planned to reach Cairo first and then continue north into the free states where the slavery has been abolished .Unfortunately, they miss Cairo in a thickfog and a steamboat destroys their raft, and they are separated .Huck comesto the Grangerford house. After witnessing the bloody scene of the Shepherdson-Grangerford feud ,he decides to leave there and meets Jim again luckily .They continue to flow down and save two conmen who call themselves Duke and Dauphin .In a town, the two swindlers ridicule the residents and cheat a lot of money. And in another one, they impersonate the two brothers of Peter Wilkes who just died with some legacy left, andplan to swindle the Wilkes family of the inheritance .It's Huck who finally exposes the conmen and the despicable plan fails .Escaping from the town, Duke and Dauphin lose all the money, then they sell Jim to Silas Phelpswho turns out Tom's uncle .In the meantime, Tom comes to visit his auntand persuades Huck to join his ridiculous plan to rescue Jim. When theplan is carried out and Jim is recaptured ,Tom reveals that Miss Watsonhas already freed Jim two months ago when she was dying .At the end ofthe book ,Jim gets free and Huck goes west. In this novel ,the author creates a whole gallery of vivid characters from different walks and showsus a true-to-life picture of the United States in the 19th century .Inthe realistic description ,the praising of the pursuit for freedom andthe criticism on slavery are obviously seen .Besides, the satire onsociety ,education, religion and romantics is worthy ourattention ,too .In fact, this book also employs several realistic techniques to strengthen its air of realism ,including the colloquial language ,first-person narration ,the picaresque style and the detailed description .In all, what is discussed above contributes a lot to the success of this book .Through such a concise introduction ,we may know something about the note“all modern American literature comes from” madeby Hemingway on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn .Ⅱ.An analysis on American realismIn the Oxford concise dictionary of literary terms ,the term "realism"is defined as follow:A mode of writing that gives the impression of recording or reflectingfaithfully and actual way of life. It is associated chiefly with the nineteenthcentury novels of middle or lower class life, in which the problem ofordinary people in unremarkable circumstances are rendered with closeattention to the detail of physical setting and to the complexities of sociallife.―Realism had originated in France as ‗realime‘, a literary doctrine that called for reality and truth in the depiction of ordinary life. Realism first appeared in the United States in the literature of local color and an amalgam of romantic plots and realistic descriptions of things was immediately observable ,the dialects ,customs ,sights and sounds of regional America‖ .2 .A series of historical events have caused this literary movement in America .The civil war between 1861 and 1865 has exerted a great influence on American politics ,economy and society .The cruelty of the war pushed America to realism from romanticism ;slavery was abolished after the war ; the victory of the northern industrial states led to a sharp increase of new wealth created by business growth and exploitation of natural resource .Meanwhile, ―vast riches and economic powers were concentrated in the hands of a few .It was the beginning of what Mark Twain called ‗The Gilded Age‘ ,an age of excess and extremes of decline and progress, of poverty and dazzling wealth ,of gloom and buoyant hope‖.3 This great change in society, in turn, influences greatly the literary creation in both the theme and the technique .As a result ,in the later half of the 19th century, most writers shared what Henry James called“a powerful impulse to mirror the unmitigated realities of life ”. Thereafter, romanticism came to its end and realism spreads widely in writing across the country. ―New writers sought to portray American life as it really was insisting that the masses and the local were su itable for artistic creation‖ .Instead of presenting an idealized life in poetic description, they pursued to depict who were less simply all good and all bad and to present the subtleties of human personalities . In all, American realists aimed at the wide range of American experiences and the interpretation of the realities of any aspects of life free from subjective prejudice, idealism or romantics color. Literature in this period was defined as nothing more and nothing less than the truthful treatment of material.In a realistic work, the style of diction, irony and roughness is an eminent features, too.Ⅲ.Realism in the Adventures of Huckleberry FinnA. The embodiments of realism in themea.Praising of the pursuit for freedomIf you have read the classical works like The Pilgrimage to the West and The Pilgrim's Progress, you will find some similarity .If you have ever read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, you will relate spontaneously this novel to those two, for they share one thing in common .To a degree, they all tell of the journey of somepeople's travel to some place for some reason irrespective of difficulty and danger. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the novel refers to a trip of the pursuit for freedom in content. This novel in structure can be divided into three parts .Part one is about the reason of the escape, part two about the difficulty and danger on their way to freedom, part three about their final success to freedom. In both the content and the structure, it‘s no doubt a travel book about freedom and the only driving force to the development of the plots is the two‘s eager for freedom. One palpable difference among these three books is that the common names and the real settings in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn strengthen the air of reality. Huck , one of the two heroes, is an uneducated outcast white boy about thirteen years old. He escapes from being civilized and confined .While the other one, Jim, is an ignorant black slave. He escapes from being enslaved and separated from his wife and daughters. To some extent, Huck symbolizes the fettered spirit of human beings while Jim stands for the enslaved body. These two together form an intact man with which this travel can be regarded a true trip to freedom,and such freedom can be considered a true freedom both in spirit and body. Undoubtedly, it‘s rather difficult to get free in the South America of the 1850s for the two. The readers can perceive the difficulties through Twain's true-to-life description. It‘s best shown by the various experiences on the way to floating down the river. There are a series of examples in the novel. At first Huck and Jim hide themselves in daytime and travel at night. Then their raft is destroyed deliberately by a ship in a thick fog; and two conmen who called Duke and Dauphin appear and control Jim and Huck;at last, Jim is sold and after a complicated rescue, he is recaptured. All these sufferings on the way to pursuing freedom, in a degree, symbolize the impediments from that society. Eventually, the book ends with a comedy and we readers all smile and relax when Jim is declared free. As is known that people will particularly cherish what is achieved with difficulty, obviously including freedom. From this point of view, Twain seems to tell us to fight braverily for our freedom and really cherish it. All in all, through the difficult travel, Twain highly eulogizes the pursuit for freedom.2. Criticism on slaveryIn the nineteenth century, America committed a national fault -- slavery, in which slaves existed widely and lived in misery. They were just regarded a piece of property by their white lords. Slaves were sold in the public market like animals. As in the novel, Miss Watson planned to sell Jim irrespective of his separation from his wife and daughters. It’s generally believed that Slavery was good and right and Black was worthy no respect .The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn paints for us a realistic picture of the misery life of the blacks in the South America . Here are some illustrations .In this novel ,“Huck starts by believing that Blacks are by nature lower than whites-inferior animals of sorts in fact”.4 In the first chapter, Huck and Tom take advantage of Jim’ssuperstition to play tricks on him. Another clear illustration is the dialogue between Huck and Aunt Sally after the explosion on the river:---It warn't the grounding that didn't keep us back but a little we blowed out a cylinder head.--- Good gracious anybody hurt.---no’m, Killed a nigger.---Well, it’s lucky because some time do get hurt people.In this conversation, radical prejudice is self-evident. The transparent irony disclosed in Aunt Sally’s anxious question and her genuine relief that no people were injured. It implies that Huck is also unaware of the irony or humor of reply .F rom this dialogue“nigger”seems not to belong to human being .However, in this novel, we find a totally different black image, Jim .He has impressed readers deeply with his virtues and performances on the way to north. They two help each other and live in harmony. They discuss various questions and Jim shares his experiences with little Huck. Gradually, Huck begins to accept Jim as an amiable man and a loyal friend so that Huck has an impulse to kiss Jim's feet when he plays trick on Jim and hurts his feelings .Besides, Jim is so kind to stop Huck's approach to the dead man who, as Jim later exposes, is Huck's father. He just can not let Huck witness such a horrible scene which shows fully the noble humanity of a black as human being. Moreover, the most moving scene occurs in the last chapter when Tom is wounded by a bullet. It is Jim who stays there to take care of him and helps the white doctor to save him .Then Jim is recaptured though he could escape as many other people may do, for which even the old doctor, a slavery supporter, praises him and so do the other people around .Obviously, it’s the virtues and performances only possessed by man that win the praise from these whites and makes Huck's heart over deformed conscience. Until the end of the book, no misbehaviors can be found committed by Jim, but he suffers most. It is no doubt that all the agony and inequality come from his identity as Black where the ignorance of the white is shown to the full play .As a whole, Jim has various enviable virtues such as honest, responsible and kind- hearted .Through the creation of this black figure, Twain manages to smash down the rumor of Black's inferiority .Jim ,an innocent and quiet black ,suffers a lot but still shows his nobilities in adversity .It's believed that Jim ,as a black ,is admirable and even performs better than the white .The portrayal of Jim is juxtaposed with that of the white. In such a contrast, the lovely image of the black and the vulgar one of the white come naturally into our brain and the reader mustconceive the idea that the slavery, which is even believed wrong by an uneducated child, is doomed to breakdown. Through the realistic portrayal of Jim's experience, the criticism on slavery is obviously seen in the novel.3. Criticism on the degeneration of morality and humanityWith the development of capitalism, America embraced a great prosperity. ―The machine and worship of money were on their way in‖ and the degeneration of morality and humanity spread widely. As a great realistic writer, Twain felt disappointed and sharply criticized this phenomenon. The second part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is considered most exciting in which Twain satires the vulgarity of the society along the Mississippi River. His artful use of irony and humor really makes readers laugh, especially the waggish performances of the two conmen, Duke and Dauphin, by which he exposes directly the cruelty of the people. Through the eyes of the innocent boy, we see a society filled with violence, cheating and murder. As we find in the novel, ―the loafers of the town Brickville amuse themselves by torturing animals--pouring kerosene on dogs and setting them on fire‖. Besides,“Boggs' drunken swagger results in his murder but the dramatic emphasis is upon the town's perverse fascination with his dying and the distempered gang calls for the lynching of Colonel Sherburn ,but what they get is an upbraiding lecture on mob cowardice" 4.What‘s worse, the Shepherdson-Grangerford feud displays the most violent scene .As we know in Romeo and Juliet, the death of the two lovers dissolves the feud between two families. However, in this book, the escape of the two lovers immediately leads to blood and death. It seems really irony. All these realistic pictures faithfully show us the corruptness and the decaying humanity and the morality of the people, and the author spares no effort to satire on the whole society4.Irony on education,religion and romanticsApart from the poignant portrayal of slavery and the society, there is also ironyin Twain's presentation of education, religion and romantics. ―All of his virtues come from his good heart and his sense of humanity for most of the things he was taught turned out to be wrong ,for example, he was taught that slavery was good and right and that runaway slaves should be reported .So what Huck has to do is to cut through social prejudices and racial discrimination to find truth for himself.”5 As a result of such education, Huck is described as a boy with a sound heart and a deformed conscience .Much of the book concentrate on the inner struggle of his heart and conscience .This concrete description is the most attractive part of the novel. Huck is always frustrated by the sense of guilt in helping Jim escape and his conviction of Jim's identity as human being. At first, he can't see Jim as a proper human being and less as his equal .Through their escape down the river, he comesto know Jim better and accept him as a good man as well as a loyal friend. This progress is best displayed in his famous decision to tear up the letter to Miss Watson and ―go to hell‖ and helps Jim .Until this moment ,Huck's sympathy has completely prevailed over his education.“Twain once observed in reference to this internal struggle that this a chapter where a sound heart and a deformed conscience come into collision and conscience suffers defeat‖.Even an illiterate boy can realize that slavery is wrong while those educated and ―civilized‖ can't realizeit .It's really a failure of the education then .At the same time the author also shows us what the educated people do in their―civilized‖ manners. Boggs' drunken swagger results in his murder by Colonel Sherburn and the democratic citizens quickly change into violent mobs ,ready to lynch him; the bloody scene brought by the Shepherdson-Grangerford feud displays their senseless and sickening perversion of a code of "honor" .It‘s incredible for us to agree on the existence of such cruelty, violence and vulgarity in the democratic America .However, that is just the fact .In all ,it is the wrong education that deforms people's conscience and causes a series of tragedies, which is obviously against the essence of education .Thus the reader can easily perceive the irony on the education .In this novel, Twain also shows his irony on the religion .Here are some illustrations in this work. The realistic records of Huck's experiences come to be a satirical vehicle to religion in the hands of Twain, for example,"Huck is perplexed that the pious widow makes him grumble over the victuals even though there is nothing wrong with them"; he goes to church with the Grangerford family and hears a sermon about brotherly love and everyone agrees that it‘s a good one but they continue to fight each other. The two families, though they believe in God and listen to the sermons, can not give up the bloody feud .It is to some extent an irony on religion. They even take arms in the church, ready to defend themselves. What's interesting is that the Bible commits a sin and causes the bloody feud, because it is the vehicle to deliver the lovers' decision to escape. Thus the Bible is no longer saint and pure. It’s another way to criticize the religion.In the evasion chapter, Twain describes vividly Tom's ridiculous rescue through which the irony on romantics is obvious. Tom enjoys romantic books and makes his plan according to the plots in these romantic writings. In fact, he has made such a “romantic" plan which is impossible to accomplish and he himself eventually gives up some parts of his plan but still pretends he is doing that. Some critics even think this pilot is unnecessary, but Twain still employs this way to free Jim .One of the explanations is that he tries to make a comic end to the book and presents his irony on romantics. The result of the “romantic” rescue in which Tom, his own, gets shot and Jim is recaptured ,acclaims the failure of the plan, or in other words, the end of the romantics. People should switch their attention to real lifeand be pragmatic. Thus Twain just wants to shows us that the age of romanticism has gone and it's the age of realism.B.The embodiments of realism in techniquea. The Colloquial languageIt's the diction that helps to make this book realistic and time-honored. It is writtenin colloquial language, the standard speech of uneducated American. The use of such colloquial style displays Twain's conscious attempt to achieve accurate detail. “In this book‖, he says, ―a number of dialects are used, to wit; the Missouri negro dialect, the extremist forms of the back woods southwestern dialect, the ordinary 'pike county' dialect and four modified varieties of this .The shadings have not been done in a haphazard fashion or by guesswork but painstakingly and with the trustworthy guidance and support of personal familiarity with these several forms of speech ". 6―Painstaking‖ and―not hapha zard‖ indicate the conscientious effort of the author;―trustworthiness‖ ,―familiarity ‖and the author‘s awareness of dialects in use reveal his attempt to reproduce actual daily speech with a degree of accuracy ‖.The following is an excerpt from this realistic masterpiece to serve as an illustration:I took all the coffee and sugar there was and all the ammunition I took the waddingI took the bucket and gourd took a dipper and a tin cap and my old saw and two blankets and the skillet and the coffeepot "7.The words used here are mostly Anglo-Saxon in origin and are brief direct and concrete in effect. Most structures of the sentences are simple or compound with―ands‖ and semicolons as connectives. The repetition of ‘took ’and a group of things leave the impression that Twain depends much on the concrete object and action for his works. In addition, there is an ungrammatical element giving the finishto his style. As a whole, the language of the book is close to the actual speech of Huck ,an uneducated boy from the south of the mid-nineteenth century.2. First-person narrationFirst-person narration is synonyms for story-telling .There are two types of narration, first person narration and third person narration. In first person narration, the story is told by a character who habitually refers him self with the pronoun ‘I’and the point of view is automatically that of the narrator. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, various pictures and serious problems are discussed by the narration of an illiterate boy, Huck. This technique enables Twain express freely without the intrusion of his idea into the narrative .Thus all the plots seem more realistic and more fluent. All above bring readers closer to the events and involves them into the plots. At the same time, Twain coulddeal easily with his hatreds --racial bigotry, violence, aristocratic pretense as well as other lesser evils and make scathing comments on some social issues. His complaints about these and other matters find their way into Huck's narrative. It is done so naturally that the reader is rather easy to accept such a fresh unsophisticated style through the innocent eyes and mouth of a child, by which the author presents a comprehensive realistic picture of the American society in the 19th century .In addition, the use of first-person narration in conversations contributes much to penetrating into the core of problems with brief and simple words. It also makes the dialogues natural and realistic and leaves upon the reader a deep impression. In all, it is the first-person narration that strings up the plots naturally and exposes directly the essence of various problems.3. The picaresque styleThe picaresque style, one of the oldest dramatic narrative devices, is applied in the novel .It's a style of fiction dealing with the adventures of outcast men .Picaresque plots consists of a series of unrelated events which are strung together by the hero's adventures .These plots are loose and chronological. So these styles of fiction enable Twain to introduce characters at will without undermining readers‘belief in the possibility of these events. It also makes Twain write romantically and freely .Meanwhile, with this style the book turns out to be more interesting and vivid .At the same time, different plots attract different readers and they helps the author express his various intention. The picaresque style also makes all the experiences natural and coherent from the mouth of a child like Huck. Obviously, Twain hopes to present social problems through the adventures with humor and irony. He finds the best writing technique ,the picaresque style, to emphasize the fact一the civilized society from which Huck and J im’s escape is full of humiliation while the uneducated community on the river is characterized with dignity .4. The detailed descriptionLast but not least, the successful employment of the detailed description helps enhance the effect of irony and the atmosphere of reality. There are a number of concrete descriptions in the novel serving as the illustrations. Twain seriously described the decorum of the Grangerford’s house, from which we learn that this family is rich and noble .However, under the lofty appearance conceals the cruel reality, which is fully shown in the bloody scene of the Shepherdson-Grangerford feud. This detailed presentation of concrete objects has achieved the very effect of irony and humor. In order to make the settings true to the actual environment, Twain also takes advantage of this style, for example:first thing to see, looking away over the water, was a kind of dull line—that was the woods on the other side, you couldn‘t make nothing else out; then a pale place in the sky; then more paleness spreading around; then the river softened up away off, and warn‘t black any more, but gray; you could see littl e dark spots drifting along。

The Plot
Huck, a poor boy with a drunken brute(残忍的;无理性 的)father, as a result of his adventure, gained quite a bit of money and was adopted by a respectable family. Huck dislikes his new life of cleanliness, manners, church, and school. However, he sticks it out in order to take part in Tom‟s new “robbers‟ gang[ɡæŋ] (群;一伙).”
2.Intellectual and Moral Education
Huck distrusts the morals and precepts of the society that treats him as an outcast [„autkɑ:st](流浪的人;被驱逐的人)and fails to protect him from abuse. These apprehensions about society, and his growing relationship with Jim, lead Huck to question many of the teachings that he has received, especially regarding race and slavery.

The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn mainly narrates Huckleberry Finn, a white boy, and Jim, a N egro slave boy’s breathtaking experience when they flow aimlessly on the Mississippi together. The story happened in 19th century before the War between South and North. Huck is a waif about 12-13 years old. He either can not bear the affliction of his everyday drunk father or is unwilling to accept the raising of the widow Douglas. So he ran away down the Mississippi by flat at a moonlight evening. Meanwhile, his adventure started. He met a Negro escaping on the way to the North to the North for freedom. They took one flat wandered on the River. They met various kinds of people and odd things. Huck is a person who is innocent and brave, high talented and stress on practice. He is pure in mind and upright. He can distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. He not only refrains from savagely beat of his father and the widow’s stiff life, but helps Jim to avoid being sold by the owner. He is a plain boy but has the distinctive character himself. He is vivid and substantial, and full of child’s exemplary in this novel. Wholly speaking, no matter from which parts, ideology or art, this novel is publicly regarded as the masterpiece of Mark Twain. Hemingway has ever said: “All modern American literature comes from a book named The Adventure of Huckberry Finn by Mark Twain.”[1]I. Description of the social environment: Vast but AuthenticEveryone can not get away from the environment he lived along, especially for children. They are much easier to be influenced by several of social phenomena. Mark Twain, in his work, described abundant of social surroundings. Particularly the chaos of that time: the murdered on Mississippi, scandal in church, the arbitrary of the local tyrants and evil gentry. In the children eyes, all these seem to be more true and accurate. Many of life pictures jumped into our eyes, and all the thing happened will leave an experience to the little protagonist, Huck. The story happened before the War between South and North. At that time, saving slave prevailed nearly in every state of America. Simultaneously, the fighting against the slave owner activity has never stopped. Escaping, in the activity, plays a main role all the time. All whites agreed that slave should never be infringed, the same as personal property. If someone helped sla ve to escape, it’s much more contemptible than stealing and robbing. And the criminal will not be forgiven forever. Ears soaked and eyes dyed, Huck was infected with the traditional ideas naturally. Under this background, this novel narrates what Jim and Huck encountered on their traveling. The writer unfolds the mind conflicts and action, and exposes the crime of slavery and speaks highly of person who supports to abolish the slavery and liberate the slave.In addition, the infection of religion spread out everywhere. For instance, Huck’s adoptive mother is a widow of stiff and strictly upright “The widow rang a bell for supper and you have to come on time. When you got to the table, you couldn’t go right to eating, but you had to wait for the widow to t uck down her head and grumble a little over the victuals though there weren’t really anything the matter with them, that is nothing only everything was cooked by itself.”[2] Huck observed the scene before supper in his children mental. He didn’t know what the widow do is to pray for the meal. He hates restraining himself hungry before every meal to wait for the widow “hm hm hm”. He loves new thing and hope for new life, and can not put up the inhibited life under the religion. Waslin, widow’s young sister, teaches Hack. In Huck’s opinion, she is bored and oldlady. She usually teaches Hack to obey the rule, and threatened him by “going into the hell”. But Huck said: “I said I wished I was there….; All I wanted was to go somewhere, all I wanted was a change, I wasn’t particular.”[3] Then the lady seduced him by “going to heaven”. Again Hack said: “Well I couldn’t see advantage in going where she was going. So I made up my mind I wouldn’t try for it.”[4] This completely reflects Huck’s boring to the environment he lived. The author not only describes the environment around Huck lively, and set a background of making Huck’s idea and action accepted absolutely.II. The description of intraphysic conflictViolent contradiction of society often comes along with fierce conflicts. This novel mainly narrates the ambipsychology of Huck while he helps Jim to fight for freedom: obey the traditional idea to sell Jim or be loyal to friendship to save him.Huck lived in a slave prevailed environment. As a White boy, he was influenced by traditional idea racial discrimination. When he firstly met Jim, he feels very happy because he was alone in the Island. But he was shocked after he heard that Jim was a slave. Since then, the conflicts began in his heart. He behaved smart and braves enough when he helped Jim. Yet he has an uneasy conscience. He felt what he did was degrading. “The more I studied about this, the more my conscience went to grinding me, and the more wicked and low-down and ornery I got to feeling”.[5] The condemn of conscience made him shake like to be fever. He want to give up to a good boy, who did the “right” and “pure” thing. He ever hurriedly wrote to the slave owner and told him where Jim wasnow. …but the letter was not sent out. When they sailing together, Huck found Jim’s super character: honest and selfless. The hard experience and the pursuing for freedom initiate Hack’s sympathy. As a white boy, Huck looks down upon Jim. He scoffed on him, laugh at him and play tricks with him. Huck once cheats Jim mischief, but looked through by him. Jim blamed Huck sadly. This made Huck compunction: “It made me so mean I could almost kissed his foot to get him to take it back.”[6] Meanwhile, Hack began to know Blacks also have the same sentiment and dignity as Whites. He said sorry to Jim and promised never to let this kind of god damn it thing happen. It educated Hack imperceptibly. Huck’s mental was also getting changed continuously. When he sent letter to Miss Waslin, Hack “got to thinking over tripping down the river, and I see Jim before me, all the time … would always call me honey and pet me, and do everything he could think of for me, and how good he always was!”[7] Hack distressed himself about the matter. How to get over it? At the critical juncture of selling Jim away, Huck defeated in the mind conflicts and tore the letter in mess firmly and definitely. “All right then, t will go to the hell,” “I would go to work and steal Jim out of slavery again”.[8] Up here, our little protagonist has become an adul t in mind, eventually got succeed. The description of intrapsychic conflict of Huck condemned the American racial discrimination and raising slave. It makes Hack’s image more completely and lively. Furthermore the work becomes more significant in practical world.III. Sharp contradiction and the settingChildren have the same nature: na?ve and full of curiosity. But they will never be the same in character, for the difference of environment, education and class. The writer here on one hand describes the gap clearly between Huck and adult; on the other hand sets a sharp contradiction to the other children. There are not too many children in this novel. But it’s enough to complete the image of Hack through their different action and words with Huck. A young girl named Emilin who likes drawing draw a picture:“A tender girl, crying into a handkerchief for a dead bird.”“A young lady, looking up at the moon, with tears running down her cheek because of disappointing in love affairs.”“A woman in a slim black dress who was very sad leaning pensive on a tombstone.”[9]Huck is boring of these paintings. In his eye, the moon is his good partner which accompanies Jim and his traveling. And the bird in his mind never will be dead. When he heard the dying of little painter, he wasn’t sad, but said: “…..with her disposition, she was having a better time in graveyard.”[10]After being sold by cheater of Jim, Huck was really worried about. But another boy told him happily: “There’s two hundred dollars reward on him. It’s like picking up money on the road.It’s a clear contrast again. The boy wants to purchase money, however Huck cares more about Jim’s life selflessly and wholeheartedly.The sharpest comparison unfolded between Hack and Tom. Both two boys are na?ve and liking adventure. Yet what Tom did make no little action and words in common. At the beginning of the story, Tom was ready to found a bandit band. When he went to Huck’s house to meet him one night, they were nearly founded by the worker, slave Jim. Suddenly, an idea comes up to Tom; he wants to play a trick with Jim. But Hack thought it is too dangerous in case founded by Jim. “But Tom wanted to resk it.” They “slid into the cook house and got three candles” “I was in a sweat to get awa y, but Tom… must crawl to where Jim was and play something on him.”[11] At the end of the story, the two boys saved Jim out of Phillip’s. This thing makes their character much sharper. Tom was born in a rich family. He read a lot and ever educated formally. What he did to cooperate with Hack and save Jim is just like an experience for him. He wants to practice what he learnt from books. In the procedure of saving, actually they can use spade quickly instead of using knife, Hack said it was a kind of waste time of sawing the leg of bed in half, sewing the rope ladder, digging cannel. Nevertheless, Tom did and said: “Well if that ain’t just like you, Hack Finn. You can get up the infant-schooliest ways of going at a thing. Why, hain’t you ever read any books a t all?..... Whoever heard of getting a prisoner loose in such an old-maidy way as that? No, the way all the best authorities does, is to saw the bed leg in two, and leave it just so, and swallow the sawdust… Nothing to do but hitch your rope ladder to the battlements, shin down it, break your leg in the moat-because a rope-ladder is nineteen foot too short……”[12] All what Tom wants to do is to practice according to the books and satisfy his curiosity as he said: “I wanted the adventure of it, and I’d a wade d neck-deep in blood to…..”.[13] For Jim, who cares? However, Hack trusts friends and pay more attention to friendship, and protects Jim here and there. The writer successfully portraits the image of Hack.Ⅳ Portrait Hack with his own language and humorThere is a paragraph which Huck describe the demeanor of Jim: “He wasn’t a boy to meekly along up that yard like a ship; no he calm down and important, like the ram when he got affront of us, he lifts his hat ever so gracious and dainty like it was the lid of a box that had butterflies asleep in it, and he didn’t want to disturb them …”.[14] Huck didn’t know and dislike the “civilized society”. He only wants to live in the nature surrounding. So what he figured more or less has something with nature. The writer always uses Huckleistic vocabulary, tone and rhythm to narrate. All these words coincided with the children’s character commonly, and eventually expressed Huck’s position and psychology character accurately and lively.In this novel, there are many humors developed by Huck, which makes the story more interesting. Moreover, it contains sharp sarcasm to the society. For example, when Hack speaks of the Whites moral concepts, he said: “I judged she would be proud of me for helping these rapscallions because rapscallions and dead beats is the kind the widow and good people takes the most interesting.”[15] And for the cheater’s speech of refraining from drink. Huck said: “They didn’t make for them both to get drunk on”.[16]All these words express Hu ck’s character of innocent, loving nature and his boring of the regulation of civilized societyV. The description of scenery echoed with child’s age, mood and mindEvery stage of man has their own attitude to the scenery. All the scenery we see in the novel was narrated by Huck. No doubt it represents the mind of the little protagonist himself. So this kind of scenery cans directly response the minor inner-heart precisely. Huck hates what was named civilized society. The really thing he like better is the thunder-storm. There is a short part: “……It would get so dark that it looked all blue-black outside, and lovely ;…and then a perfect ripper of a gust would follow along and set the branches to tossing their arms as if they was just wild, and next it was just about the bluest and blackest-fst…and now you’d hear thunder let go with an awful crash and then go rumbling, grumbling, tumbling down the sky towards the under side of the world like rolling empty barrels downstairs, where it’s long stairs and th ey bounces a great deal , you know.”[17]He thought the storm was lovable and he describes the thunder `is just fit for his position: child. The thunder like: “a bound of empty barrels bounced down from the sky”,[18] “The branches tossing their arms”.[19] All these description are suitable for the protagonist’s age, mood and mind. He brings the reader into the scenery, even perfectly coincide with the image of Huck, and make the innocent and lovable boy living and breathing. The style Mark Twain used to describe the propagandist personal language is indeed the outstanding contribution of literature. Overlook the whole book, we will find, from the beginning to the end, that it is the entire boy “sound” who would not like to go home and to “bear” culture ru led.The work of Mark Twain, whatever from the content or the style, is full of the features of America. It expresses the idea and emotion of American, and reflects the variance of American society. The writer in their own country language narrates the story of their own country. The work also shows the art intelligence of the authors as a reality’s writer completely and overwholely. The work is not only a book for children, but is worthy of the greatest works of American literature for its prolifically connotation and inimitable language style.Notes:[1]~[19]Mark Twain.

The souls of the two at last unite.This love between Heathcliff and Catherine experiences the tow worlds of this life and after life, and it is totally spiritual. It takes Romantic feature and can only exist and survive in that particular circumstance.2.Give a brief analysis of Huck, a character in Mark Twain’s Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn, and discuss the social importance of the characterization of this character.Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the best known for Mark Twain’s wonderful characterization of “Huck”. Huck is a typical American Boy with “a sound heart and a deformed conscience”. He appears to be vulgar in language and in manner, but he is honest and decent in essence. His remarkable raft’s journey down the Mississippi river, which Twain used both realistically and symbolically to shape his book into an organic whole, can also be regarded as his process of education and his way to grow up. On the whole, he is the son of nature and a symbol for freedom and earthly pragmatism.Through the eyes of Huck, the innocent and reluctant rebel, we see the pre-Civil War American society fully exposed. Twain thematically contrasts the life on the river and the life on the banks. These contrasts between innocence and experience, nature and culture, wilderness and civilization best show the romantic quality in Twain’s writing.。
高级英语Lesson 6 Mark Twain课文翻译
Lesson 6 Mark Twain ---Mirror of America马克.吐温--美国的一面镜子(节选) 诺埃尔.格罗夫Most Americans remember Mark Twain as the father of Huck Finn's idyllic cruise through eternal boyhood and Tom Sawyer's endless summer of freedom and adventure. In-deed,this nation's best-loved author was every bit as ad-venturous,patriotic,romantic, and humorous as anyone has ever imagined.I found another Twain as well–one who grew cynical,bitter,saddened by the profound personal tragedies life dealt him,a man who became obsessed with the frailties of the human race,who saw clearly ahead a black wall of night.在大多数美国人的心目中,马克•吐温是位伟大作家,他描写了哈克•费恩永恒的童年时代中充满诗情画意的旅程和汤姆•索亚在漫长的夏日里自由自在历险探奇的故事。
的确,这位美国最受人喜爱的作家的探索精神、爱国热情、浪漫气质及幽默笔调都达到了登峰造极的程度。
但我发现还有另一个不同的马克•吐温——一个由于深受人生悲剧的打击而变得愤世嫉俗、尖酸刻薄的马克•吐温,一个为人类品质上的弱点而忧心忡忡、明显地看到前途是一片黑暗的人。
Tramp printer,river pilot,Confederate guerrilla,prospector,starry-eyed optimist, acid-tongued cynic:The man who became Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens and he ranged across the nation for more than a third of his life,digesting the new American experience before sharing it with the world as writer and lecturer.He adopted his pen name from the cry heard in his steamboat days,signaling two fathoms (12feet)of water--a navigable depth.His popularity is attested by the fact that more than a score of his books remain in print,and translations are still read around the world.印刷工、领航员、邦联游击队员、淘金者、耽于幻想的乐天派、语言尖刻的讽刺家:马克•吐温原名塞缪尔•朗赫恩•克莱门斯,他一生之中有超过三分之一的时间浪迹美国各地,体验着美国的新生活,尔后便以作家和演说家的身分将他所感受到的这一切介绍给全世界。

theadventuresofhuckleberryfinn:哈克贝利·费恩历险记
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finnby: Tamer ShabanI read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn more than once and each time I find the same fun and excitement and that is what prompted me to research about the history of the author of the novel and about the importance of this novel, which though written 126 years ago it is still under study and research in many countries around the world.Author of the novelThe author of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn novel is one of the most famous authors in the nineteenth century. He is the American author Mark Twain or Samuel Langhorne Clemens, who was born in 1835 and died at the age of 75 years in 1910, leaving behind a group of the finest literary fiction in the history of classical American literature. One of his best novels is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.The life of Mark Twain had many ups and downs and difficult challenges. He began his life as a poor worker and then he worked in the field of printing. Then he worked as a sailor. This work had a great effect on the whole Mark Twain‘s life as we s ee in his novels. After that, he worked as a journalist then he became a writer and a famous one. Unfortunately, he ended his life unhappily because of the death of his wife and children, however leaving a legacy of beautiful ‗classical‘ literature.The Adventures of Huckleberry was published in 1884 and it was considered the second part of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer which was published in 1876. For fully enjoying the two novels, you must read them both. These two novels, especially The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, that we're talking about, is a great novel. When you start reading it you can not stop until the endbecause of the excitement and rapid pace of events faced by the heroes of the novel.The Adventures of Huckleberry is written in forty-three chapters. It is an exciting story and an exotic adventure. The events show the ability of the author and his unusual imagination, which create wonderful and unusual solutions for many of the problematic events and risks which happen throughout the novel.The events of the novel were created in an interesting variety of places where the dangers and crises occurred. In fact this novel tells the story of real people and real events that the author met with when he worked as a sailor.The most prominent evidence that this novel is still alive in the hearts and minds of its readers, is what the U.S. writer Ron Powers (5 May 2010), writes in an article about the novel: One hundred thirty-five years after its first publication in the United States, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1883) continues to enlarge its international claim as a masterpiece. For uncounted millions of readers and scholars, it still stands as the greatest novel yet written by anAmerican.…Proof of the book‘s enduring popularity is not hard to find: it sells an estimated 200,000 copies a year, dwarfing sales by all but a handful of contemporary novelists. It has been translated into more than 50 languages and published in more than 700 editions around the globe. Three hundred thousand visitors a year — many from Europe, Russia, Asia and South America —descend upon Hannibal, Missouri (population 17,500), Mark Twai n‘s boyhood hometown and the fictional launching-place for Huck and Jim‘s great Mississippi River odysseyThe depth of the ideasDespite the passage of all these years and despite a lot of books and research articles that have analyzed and discussed this novel, you can always find new feelings and new ideas covered in the novel.This novel represents a scathing criticism of life in the USA before the civil war. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn criticize the traditions, customs and social conditions of the American community in this period. American society at this time considered dark-skinned people as sub-humans, and they were slaves and they had no rights.One of the most brilliant scenes of the novel is the scene of the escape of Jim with Huckleberry on the raft. Jim was a young man with dark skin and worked as a servant to Miss Watson who was his owner..This scene is one of the greatest scenes of the search for freedom in all classical novels of America.The relationship between Huckleberry Finn and Jim represents an important dramatic line in the novel. Huckleberry Finn had the same views as the society in which he grew up as he considered dark-skinned people had no rights. After that, when he and Jim became friends, he was surprised because he found Jim a cultured person with wonderful feelings and manners. He also felt true friendship and he and Jim enjoyed many adventures together. Finally, when Jim was caught, Huckleberry forgot what he learned in his society and went to save Jim when he was sold in one of the bars. Then, Jim obtained his freedom.When reading the novel, you can notice ironic or harsh critical remarks of the role of Europeans in the United States which had begun to wane in this period. You will find that in the personalityof the fraudulent English Duke and the French king. Huck found out that they were fraudulent. This is shown when he took the money and gave it back to those they had stolen it from Charges brought against the novelSince the publication of the novel, it was considered the first novel by an American published in coarse language of everyday speech. Numerous criticisms were made about the novel because of its language. Some writers also said that this novel supported racism because of the appearance of the word ―NEGRO‖ 211 times in the novel, and this charge succeeded in preventing the teaching or reading of this novel in the U.S. schools for more than forty years.One of the best answers to these charges is its success until now despite the death of its author a century ago. The use of this coarse language is considered a way to criticize this period of time by using words which were used in this community.Also, this novel is against racism and discrimination and this was evident during the events of the novel as one of the most important heroes of the novel is Jim, who is owned by Miss Watson. Jim showed the extent of his loyalty and sincerity of feelings towards the community he lived in and its values and ethics. He finally gained his freedom at the end of the novel.ConclusionThe novel is very exciting and is greatly enjoyed by readers, whether young or old. It is a great novel even if you read it without fully understanding all the different implications of all its social and political views. The novel attracts you to read on without paying attention to all the dimensions of historical, social, or political background. But when you know the background,your enjoyment and excitement will increase.Thanks to the American author Mark Twain for all his novels and creativity. He left us a literary treasure and although he did not witness the great success of his novel, reaching the hearts of people around the world, he still lives in our minds and hearts.Sources1 - The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain – Translated by Mokhtar Elsweefe2 - Mark Twain‘s ―Adventures of Huckleberry Finn‖- Ron Powers -/st/peopleplace-english/2010/May/20100505151725naneerg0.2608759.html3 - Mark Twain - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia/wiki/Mark_Twain4 - Mark Twain: Novelist, Humorist and Citizen of the World-Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Mark Twain‘s death- By Shelley Fisher Fishkin/st/peopleplace-english/2010/April/20100416165559naneerg0.4839855.htmlBelow is given annual work summary, do not need friends can download after editor deleted Welcome to visit againXXXX annual work summaryDear every leader, colleagues:Look back end of XXXX, XXXX years of work, have the joy of success in your work, have a collaboration with colleagues, working hard, also have disappointed when encountered difficulties and setbacks.

马克吐温写作风格鉴赏(An Analysis of the Writing Styles of Mark Twain)英文版全文
An Analysis of the Writing Styles of Mark TwainHis colloquial Language and Satire in the Adventures of Huckleberry FinnI. The Background of Mark Twain1.1 Mark Twain and His ExperienceMark Twain, pseudorym of Samuel langhone Clemens, was brought up in the town of Hannibal, Missouri, near the Mississippi River. He was twelve when his father diod and he had to leave school. He was successively a printer’s apprentice, a tramp printer, a silver miner, a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi, and a frontier journalist in Nevada and California. This knocking about gave him a wide knowledge of humanity. As one of America’s first and foremost realists and humorists, Mark Twain usually wrote about his own personal experiences and things he knew about from firsthand experience. His life spanned the two Americas, the frontier America and the emerging urban, industrial giant of the twenty-century.As a witness of the civil war, Twain saw clearly the great changes in nation’s economic development and political life. With the final victory over the South the North once again enjoyed its wielding power in the nation’s administration. Now the acute conflict at home was undermined and the American people again focused their full attention on re-construction after the war. Because most majority of the slaves were emancipated, the slave-based economy of the defeated South had its prosperity became rootless. In this case, clusters of groundless southern poor whites and the newly freed slaves headed directly of indirectly for the new-liberated cities to seek opportunities. It may be called the ‘Gold Rush’ rejuvenated, or rather, it was so-called the ‘American Dream’ by some critics. Twain also could not help rushing to the west to will his American dream. He once believed the idea of development and industrialization since it would modernize the young country and encourage the enterprising spirit of the American who had long been famous for it. He was firmly enthralled by such fever, so once again he held an optimistic attitude towards the post-westward expansion. He drew much inspiration from the unparalleled and magnificent event and spoke highly of its decision-makers and its people.1.2 The Adventures of Huckleberry FinnThe best work that Mark Twain ever produced is, as we noted earlier on, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It tells a story about the United States before the Civil War, around 1850, when the great Mississippi Valley was still being settled. Here lies an America, with its great national faults, full of violence and even cruelty, yet still retaining the virtues of ‘some simplicity, some innocence, and some peace.’ The story takes place along the Mississippi River, on both sides of which there was unpopulated wilderness and a dense forest. It relates the story of the escape of Jim from slavery and, more important, how Huck Finn, floating along with him and helping him as best he could, changes his mind, his prejudice about black people, and comes to accept Jim as a man and as a close friend as well.At the heart of Twain’s achievement is his creation of Huck Finn, who embodies that mythic America, midway between the wilderness and the modern super state.1.3 A General Introduction to the MississippiThe Mississippi is not only Mark Twain’s life stage but also American society’s stage. It flows through the middle of America; it’s one of the greatest rivers in the world. In Twain’s early years, the geographic core was the great valley of the Mississippi River, and the Mississippi is the main ar tery of transportation on the young nation’s heart. In 1857, young Mark Twain entered thatworld as a cub pilot on a steamboat. Later, when he wented to write something, this land provided him with many plentiful writing materials.II. Analyzing Two Writing Styles of Mark Twain (in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) Mark Twain was the first important writer to consistently use the American speech rather than England’s English. His honor, whether it was aimed at pure entertainment or at social satire, was irresistible. His realism, and details influenced many later American novelists. That was why Ernest Hemingway once said “all modern American literatures came from one book written by Mark Twain called The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” And it became Twain’s masterpiece. Mark Twain’s three years’ life on that returned to the Mississippi left such a fond memory with him that returned to the theme more than once in his writing career. Huckleberry Finn is a veritable recreation of living models, and is H uck’s book, not Jim’s. The two major characters, Huck and Jim, represent the two sides of the dilemma: Huck strikes out for an absolute freedom, while Jim requires, in order to gain his own freedom, that Huck qualify his freedom by entering into the pursui t of Jim’s. It starts out as a comedy , an ‘As You Like It’ with a hero drawn from the bottom of society rather than the top. Huck and his father, Jim, the swindlers(the Duke and the Dauphin), colonel sherburn and the drunkard Boggy-all these characters prototypes in real life. The portrayal of individual incidents and characters achieved intense verisimilitude of detail. Serious problems are being discussed through the narration of a little illiterate boy. The fact that the wilderness juxtaposed with civilization, the people half wild and half civilized, many of whom are worse, vulgar, are brutal. As for the style of the book, the form is based on the simplest of all novel-forms, the so-called picaresque novel, or novel of the road, which strings its incidents on the line of the hero’s travels. But, in this novel, rivers are roads that move, and the movement of the road in its own mysterious life transmutes the primitive simplicity of the from: the road itself is the greatest character in this novel of the r oad, and the hero’s departures from the river and his returns to it compose a subtle and significant pattern. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn shows us the major achievements of his art: the masterful use of dialects; humor and pathos, innocence and evil. This novel demonstrates his ability to capture the enduring, archetypal, mythic images of America and to create the most memorable characters in all of American fiction.2.1 Use of Colloquial LanguageThe book is written in a colloquial style, in the general standard speech of uneducated Americans. Moreover, the prose of Huckleberry Finn established the prose virtues of American colloquial speech. It has something to do with ease and freedom in the use of language. Most of all, it has to do with the structure of the sentence, which is simple, direct, and fluent, maintaining the rhythm of the word’s group of speech and the intonations of the speaking voice. Mark Twain’s colloquial style has influenced a large number of American writers.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn displays the major achievements of his art: the carefully controlled point of view, with its implicit ironies expressed through the voice of a semiliterate boy: the masterful use of dialects: the felicitous balancing of nostalgic humorist and realism, humor and pathos, innocence and evil, all united for a journey down the Mississippi that serves as the mythic center of the novel. This novel demonstrates his ability to capture the enduring, archetypal, mythic images of America and to create the most memorable characters in all of American fiction.2.1.1 Vernacular LanguageMark Twain wrote in his unpretentious, colloquial, and poetic style. He used vernacular language, dialect with spelling representing pronunciation. Part of this comes from his interest inhumor. The directness of the language is a very influential point in Twain’s style. Ernest Hemingway in the 20th century said that he had learnt his craft from Mark Twain because if the direct speech and the direct narration that Twain was able to achieve. The hoax and tall tale are also part of twain’s style. Hoax is writing something fantastic and pretending that it were true, much like the tall tale. It tolls as if it were true, and so the reader would laugh that any body could believe such preposterous things, the burlesque making fun of establishes ways of writing.Mark Twain said, “I amend dialect stuff by talking and talking it till it sounds right.” He wanted his writing to have the sound of easy-going speech. In Huckleberry Finn the fountainhead of the American colloquial prose, he wrote seven different dialects and each can be distinguished. If the reader is a linguist, he can examine the different pronunciations that Twain has shown. In his own time, dialect writing was considered humorous. People got a big laugh out of reading these misspell words. Another feature of the book, which helps to make it famous is its language. The book is written in the colloquial style in the general standard speech of uneducated Americans.. Mark Twain’s introductory note on accents is an indication of his conscious attempt to achieve accurate detail. “In this book,” he says, “a number of dialects are used, to wit: the Missouri Negro dialect; the extreme forms of the backwoods southwestern d ialect; the ordinary ‘pike country’ dialect; and four modified varieties of this last. The shadings have not been done in a haphazard fashion, or by guesswork; but painstakingly, and with the trustworthy guidance and support of personal familiarity, with t hese several forms of speech.” “Painstaking ” and “not haphazard,” though they possess a humorous ring, denote the conscientious effort on the part of the author, and trustworthiness and familiarity and the author’s awareness of dialects in using which rev eal his attempt to reproduce actual daily speech with a degree of accuracy. A recent and very influential recasting of Huck’s vernacular voice has identified. We may quote a passage from this masterpiece as an illustration:“I took the sack of corn me al and took it to where the canoe was hid, and shoved the vines and branches apart and put it in; then I done the same with the side of bacon; then the whisky-jug. I took all the coffee and sugar there was, and all the ammunition; I took the wadding; I took the bucket and gourd; took a dipper and a tin cup, and my old son and two blankets, and the skillet and the coffee-pot/ I took fish lines and matches and other things- everything that was worth a cent. I cleaned out the place I wanted an ax, but there wa sn’t any, only the one out at woodpile, and I know why I was going to leave that. I fetched out the gun, and now I was done.”The words used here are, perhaps “ammunition” which is etymologically French, mostly Anglo-Saxon in origin, and are short, concrete and direct in effect. Sentence structures are most of them simple or compound, with a series of “then” and “ands” and semi-colons serving as connectives. The repetition of the word “took” and the stringing together of things leave the impression that Mark Twain depend solely on the concrete object and action for the body and movement of his prose. What is more, there is an ungrammatical element, which gives the final finish to his style. The whole book approximates the actual speech habit of an uneducated boy from south American of the mid-nineteenth century.The vernacular language in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn initiated the new style of language in American novels, and has had significant influence upon American writers of later generations.2.1.2 Local ColorLocal color as a trend first made its presence in the late 1860s and early seventies. The vogue oflocal color fiction was, the logical combination of a long, progressive development. It was the outgrowth of historical and aesthetic forces that been gathering energy since early nineteenth century. Twain refers to the elements, which characterize a local culture, elements such as speech, customs, and also a particular place. Local colorists concerned themselves with presenting and interpreting the local character of their regions. They tended to identify and glorify, but they never forgot to keep an eye on the truthful color of local life.Twain depicted social life through descriptions of local places and people he knew best and believed that “the most valuable capital, or culture, or education usable in the building of novels is personal experience.” Yet, sometimes Twain wrote a sentimental story, not because he was sentimental, but because he wanted to show the reader how stupid such a story really was. The reader has to be very careful when he or she reads Mark Twain. Twain often played trick on the reader. He often said things when he meant just the opposite. This is the irony that he got the humor from the Far West. He would do things that he did just to make fun , but the reader might think that he really meant it. Then the reader was the tender-foot who taken in .Mark twain preferred to respect social life through portraits of local places which he knew best and drew heavily from his own rich fund of knowledge of people and places. The Adventures of huckleberry Finn is one such example. Finn is living breathing personality. It is through his use of language and his activities that Twain creates character and sets down objective truth: Finn is uneducated; he dislikes civilized ways because they are restrictive and hypocritical he likes. Meanwhile, local color mixed romantic plots with realistic descriptions of things which were readily observed, with the customs , dialects, sights, smell and sounds of regional America. After the Civil war, local color had further developed, In this book, this kind of literature mainly describes the local life, the keynote was optimistic, and the language was narrative humorous. The char acters he created were humorous and full of wittiness. Mark Twin’s work was regarded the witness of America’s pure local life. According to Calkins, “Few American writers have written the same after reading telling.” From my point of view, American literat ure is so charming for this kind of works.Local color became dominate in American Literature(1860-1870). One of the most important writing features of Mark Twain is the use of Local colorism. It is also impossible in the Mississippi River towns through which Huck and Jim journey to imagine being a hero .This in turn makes Sherborn a cold-blooded killer and Huck a saint (and Tom a good). Let me repeat it as a saint,however, Huck is no more bent on social reform, no more optimistic about it, than is sherburn. So local colorism is a variation of American realism, and also a description of a small refined region. Twain, breaking out of the narrow limits of local-color fiction, described the breadth of American experience as no one had ever done before, or since, and he created The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a masterpiece of American realism that proverbs to be one of the great books of world literature.2.1.3 PunIn English paronomasia called pun, means call by a different name. The exact definition is: Humorous use of word to suggest different meanings, or of words of same or similar sound has different meanings. There are five forms of pun: homophonic pun, paranomasic, antalaclasis, sylletic pun, asteismus. In a certain context, pun has several pragmatic functions. Throughout all of Twain’s writing, we see the conflict between the ideals of Americans and their desire for money. But Twain never tried to solve the conflict. He is like a newspaperman who reports what he sees.In this situation, his humor was often rather childish. This may bespeak why the critic P. Abel said:” Twain was a boy and an old man, but never was he a man.”In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, we can find many words and phrases that were used vividly to describe the things that happened, such as ‘I went along slow then, and I wasn’t right down certain whether I was glad I started or whether I wasn’t. This sentence is very interesting; pun is used to express the author’s mood at that moment. We can also use another kind of language to replace the original, but the effect is so different. So we can conclude that pun played an important role in this novel.2.2 Satire in The Adventures of Huckleberry FinnSatire is a way of criticizing people or ideas in a humorous way to show that they have faults or are wrong, or a piece of writing or play, which uses this style. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain shows satire on southern culture before the civil war, when the Mississippi valley was still being settled. Twain blended two different subjects, the experience of westward expansion and the experience of southern slavery. And he wrote about both regains of the country. His attitudes toward the south were much less pleasant than his attitudes toward the west, because he confronted the south problem of slave of mistreatment of humans by humans. Through the change of the white boy Huck’s attitude toward Jim, a runaway black slave, Twain condemned racial discrimination. Twain made fun of typical American values, yet underneath he felt a brooding pessimism not only about American valuable but also about life itself. It was a dreadful thing to see Human beings be awful cruel to one another. Due to Twain’s own experience, satire is successfully used in this novel. There’s one sign ificant scene which should be remembered, Huck Finn witnesses many instances of cruelty, brutality and hypocrisy in the township along the river Here are four points about his satire in this novel.2.2.1 VanityVanity in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has a perfect embodiment. Twain viewed the poor whites and showed the reader how these no-count whites thought they were better than black slaves. Many share-coppers just able to make enough money to live for these sorts of illusions. Vanity was the only thing that kept them above the slaves. Their standard of living in many cases was beneath that of slaves. The only thing that made them feel good about themselves was that they were white. And Twain made the reader laugh at the ludicrous idea that they were held. For Huck Finn, the journey on the raft with Jim was a voyage of moral discovery. At the early stage, Huck Finn looks upon Jim as a Negro slave with a common attitude. However, as they progress down the river, he changes his mind and no longer has prejudice against black people. He gradually comes to see Jim as a human being and begins to accept him as his friend. Yet Huck Finn never fully succeeds in breaking free from the prevailing attitude towards Negroes. As for this part, it’s a large contra st to the other people. Huck Finn rebels against the atrocious king and duke. He is disgusted with their trifling with human beings. It is because that Huck Finn is such a good and noble person that his moral dilemma in helping a Negro slave to escape constitutes a profound condemnation of the way of life and moral values of American south. His conscience has been formed by the morality of St. Petersburg and he never quite succeeds in freeing himself from that society’s corrupt standards. Huck Finn’s formed conscience is the measure of the moral corruption of the community that shaped. So he sinks into an inner struggle. He becomes increasingly caught between his friendship with Jim and the common social standards. Compare with others, Huck Finn’s goodness i s always unconscious and spontaneous, arising out of thedeepest recesses of his nature. He abuse cares about the welfare of others and cannot bear to see anyone suffer. He shows sympathy for the nicest of Peter Wilks and saves money for them. So the opposite character embodies vanity has come into the stage. However, humor could no more be found in Twain’s biter works. On the contrary, it was replaced by bitter satire, and vanity is an embodiment of Twain’s satire.2.2.2 Unquestioning Acceptance of ViolenceThe second object of satire is the genteel upper-class southerner. The genteel upper-class southerners don’t understand themselves, either. They lived a aristocratic life. In the novel, Granger fords are violent and hateful toward other people. Out of senseless perversion of a code of “honor”, they are involved in a feud, one that has been going on for generations with the shepherd sons. Its cause has been forgotten. Every Sunday, the shepherd sons and the Grange fords go to the same church. The shepherd sons sit on one side of their guns against the wall. And they listen to the preacher talk about brotherly love. When the sermon is over, they pick up their guns and they keep an eye on each other as they walk out the door so they will not get shot in the back. The satire is merciless, not only because these people are violent, but because they accept their violence as right. No one wants to reform. Huck keeps asking “Why?” It is just the way life is. This unquestioning acceptance of violence is the reason why Twain condemned southern society. The destruction and tyranny of Huck Finn’s father are other reasons for his escaping and desiring to be free. Huck Finn’s father is a part of that society with Huck Finn’s wishes. In contract to Miss Watson’s hypocr isy, his father presents the brutality and severity of civilization that threaten to destroy Huck Finn. His father believes that money and education are all the things of that time. Huck didn’t accept the violence from his father. Huck Finn’s freedom is mo dified by the presence of his father’s actions. Living in the woods, his father beats him quite frequently and sometimes leaves him locked up in the cabin for a long time. Once when his father returns from town, he is so drunk that he almost kills him. Huck Finn is mature enough to recognize the danger and only when he becomes convinced that his father represents immediate threat to his life does he decide to escape. Throughout his life plans to escape Huck Finn is more concerned for his life than anything else and prefers simply to disappear and begin a new life. Huck Finn’s desire to be free, at it’s deepest levels, and explores the possibility of an individual achieving true freedom in society. He is constantly forced to flee from a civilized society in order to preserve his sense of integrity and identity. It’s only when he is on the river in the group with Jim that flees secure and nature. Having escaped from the feud, he remarks that there is no home like raft and other places seem to be cramped up and smothery but a raft is. And he feels free and easy and comfortable very much on a raft. It is striking that whenever, Huck Finn comes into contact with the people along the river he is forced to assume a false identity. His initial escapes from his own cruel father and the society of St. Perterburry forces him to feign his own death. Brian Donnelly argues that Huck Finn’s true life could only be achieved by dying in the eyes of the people and by escaping down the Mississippi River. This is the way that Huck chose to the problem: violence.2.2.3 CowardThe violence on which southern culture rests is a pretence or illusion to disguise the basic cowardliness of the people and their refusal to act as individuals. Twain felt it even more deeply. People are vi olent, in Twain’s view, because they are cowards. Things are all mixed up in southern society, in any society, based on violence. It is a society without a leader. Twain’s attack on these people is bitter. In the middle part of this novel, the king and the duke were seriously evil; indeed,the long wilks episode is not funny. Had a lawyer Levi Bell, a precursor of Puddn’s head Wilson, not intervened, the outcome would have been dark in the measure of sherburn; in sherburn’s world there are no good people to be ruined. In Wilkses’ world, however, the good people are so powerless as the coward in Brecksville. The hopeless lambs offer no hope of betterment; they only measure its absence. Huck and Jim had left St. Petersburg with high hopes of freedom that are badly set back at cairo. The Willks episode ends in the utter defeat of these hopes. There seems to be no way to escape the duke and the king, the rest we have already discussed. Jim’s captivity is paralleled by Huck’s in thrall to Tom. It is on the very ve rge of the collapse of all possibility of freedom that Huck places his highest bid for it. Indeed, Jim has already been recaptures when Huck finds himself at last making the decision Twain had not been able to make at Cairo: “It was a close place,” he realizes, “I was a trembling, because I’d got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knew it. I study a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself:’ All right, then, I’ll go to hell.’” Let us say the obvious: Twain has chosen the route of social engagement when it’s too late in the story to take it. Huck has decided when he is willing to go to hell, but the harder decision was whether to go to Ohio. All in all, Huck is not a coward, those people who want to use violence to attack others can be called coward. During that years, the whole American society upheavaled strongly, and this novel deeply depicted the experience of this kind of person, under Mark Twain’s writing, coward is so vivid to embody the features of that age. We can pay more attention on sherburn, a merchant and a military man, a double pillar of society—but in a society that does not deserve to be supported. On the contrary, it merits being brought crashing down, for all the reasons Huck has been exposing through the incidents of his journey. This is not a deformable society; one can only curse it and leave. Sherburn curse it and stays, and Twain finds himself approving the cursing and not knowing what to think of the staying. Does he see something of his own situation in Sherburn furious isolation among idiots and knaves? Sherburn, moreover, is not merely an inhabitant of society; as storekeeper and military man, he is presuming ably one of those who shape it. In Huck, Twain depicts on the contrary someone who has no power at all. Homeless and no money soon became an orphan. The real questions were not whether he will leave society but whether he will enter it and to what end? From his onto logical distance, Huck looks at the world of men with natural detachment. At his most critical he feels “ashamed of the human race”. Instead, sherburn sets about shaming the damned human race, hating its inescapable presence. The murder of Boggs, who is the lowest representation of humanity in sherburn’s eyes, expresses that hatred: he tells Boggs to be gone, but Boggs stays and sherburn can’t stand his presence another moment. What sherburn cannot do is himself leave, so as to be, like Huck, peacefully and even compassionately ashamed of the human race—away from it.2.2.4 SlaveAfter reading this novel, this book has been brought to my attention by a surprising assortment of people: blacks and whites. At that time, blacks played a role of slave. The common element in this encounter has not been the kind of people making statements, nor shared opinions or political perspectives, nor even their assessments of the article. Rather, they have been united by a virtually uniform structure in their narratives, suggesting an odd sort of sub-genre. Sometimes these persons report their own experience of reading the essay, and sometimes they describe the experience of one of their students. The reader likes the essay but feels troubled about this, not knowing whether the author is black. Uneducated black slave named Jim, the book relates thestory of the escape of Jim from slavery and, more important, how Huck Finn, floating along with him and helping him as best as he could, changes his mind, his prejudice about black people, and comes to accept Jim as a man and as a close friend as well. Meanwhile, Jim is very kindhearted. All of Huck’s virtues come from his good heart and his sense of humanity, for most of the things he was taught turned out to be wrong; for example, he was taught that slavery was good and right, and that runaway slaves should be reported, so what Huck has got to do is to cut through social prejudices and social discriminations to find truth for himself. Huck starts by believing that blacks are by nature lower than whites-inferior animals of sorts in fact. Through their escape down the river, he gets to know Jim better and becomes more and more convinced that he is not only a man, but also a good man. Thus he ends up by accepting him not merely as a human being but also as a loyal friend.2.3 A Combination of Colloquial Language and SatireTo sum up, fundamentally, Twain is a great American writer. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an outstanding novel; one of the most successful writing styles is a combination of colloquial language and satire. In fact, most of Twai n’s works are the combination of both colloquial language and satire, but The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was a case in point. On the other hand, it is his masterpiece as a humorist while the novel also can be eyed as a satire on sentimentality and Romanticism on the other. We have ever seen colloquial language and satire in some works, but no one’s writing is so appropriate like Twain’s. It displays American culture out of the ordinary and the attitude toward the entire society. In this book, the author use the first character to narrate, meanwhile colloquial language as the main writing language has come into the stage, in order to have the effect on vivid writing, satire is come out. In this situation, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn displays the major achievements of his art: writing in a rich and intricate style that supported his intense scrutiny of complex human experience.Ⅲ. The Significance of Mark Twain’s Writing StylesColloquial language and satire are so important in this novel. This image of the quintessential American writing is not really literary goes along with a vision of the great American novel but as a sort of spontaneous telling of unmediated experience. In the same passage Hemingway explains that he has never been able to read Thoreau for being unable to read literary naturalists, only those who are extremely accurate. There aren’t nothing more to write about, and I am rotten glad of it, remarks Huck at the end of his story. The heart of Twain’s achievement is his cre ation of Huck Finn, who embodies that mythic America, midway between the wilderness and the modern super state. That was why Ernest Hemingway once said “all modern American literatures came from one book written by Mark Twain called The Adventures of Huckl eberry Finn.” And it became Twain’s masterpiece. In short, neither enlightenment nor retrospection elevates the style or the philosophy of Huckleberry Finn’s narrator into the high culture that has placed the work itself at its pinnacle. Ⅴ. ConclusionAs one of America’s first and foremost realists and humorists, Mark Twain usually wrote about his own personal experiences and things he knew about from firsthand experience. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Twain’s best book because, for whate ver reasons, he brought together in it, with the highest degree of artistic balance, those most fundamental dualities running through his work and life from start to finish. Most of all it has to do with the structure of the sentence, which is simple, dire ct, and fluent, maintaining the rhythm of the word’s group of speech and the intonations of the speaking voice. Mark Twain’s colloquial style has influenced a。

哈克贝利费恩历险记赏析
Influence of the story
In relation to the literary climate at the time of the book's publication in 1885, Henry Nash Smith describes the importance of Mark Twain's already established reputation as a "professional humorist", having already published over a dozen other works. Smith suggests that while the "dismantling of the decadent Romanticism of the later nineteenth century was a necessary operation," Adventures of Huckleberry Finn illustrated "previously inaccessible resources of imaginative power, but also made vernacular language, with its new sources of pleasure and new energy, available for American prose and poetry in the twentieth century."
Perennially popular with readers, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has also been the continued object of study by literary critics since its publication. It was criticized upon release because of its coarse language and became even more controversial in the 20th century because of its perceived use of racial stereotypes and because of its frequent use of the racial slur "nigger", despite strong arguments that the protagonist and the tenor of the book are anti-racist.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
You don't know about me if you haven't read a book called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.Mr Mark Twain wrote the book and most of it is true.In that book robbers stole some money and hid it in a very secret place in the woods.But Tom Sawyer and I found it,and after that we were rich.We got six thousand dollars each-all gold.

• Huckleberry Finn has showed this theme as well. The adventures of Huck Finn‟s sailing by downstream along Mississippi River begins with his escape. Feeling Widow Douglas and Miss Watson's civilization kind yet unbearable and Pap‟s treatment ever so cruel, he has no means but to escape. • Another parallelized one is Jim‟s escape. Jim is Miss Watson‟s black slave and lives an abused life. In the civilized society of St. Petersburg, Jim is the one that with so low a social status that even the fundamental personal right and freedom is out of the question to him. His escape from Miss Watson is in fact an escape from the slavery as well as from the civilized society which allows the brutal system.
The theme of escape
• Escape, or escape from the civilization, is one important theme in western literature, especially in American literature. Before Mark Twain, there are already some celebrated American writers as Emerson, Thoreau have expressed this theme in their works. • They hold the opinion that man and nature is an organic whole and man is one inseparable part of nature. However, the modern civilization after the industrial revolution has separated man from nature , which makes man devoid of his own nature. • Therefore, in order to regain and keep his nature, namely the humanity, man has to get rid of all the fetters of modern civilization completely to go back to nature. Back to nature means one can achieve the return of humanity at the same time. This conduct is described as escape in literature.
• What is noticeable is that the theme of escape showed in Huckleberry Finn has some deeper meaning. In some sense, Huck‟s decision of helping Jim get freedom after a fierce battle between his mind and his heart is actually another escape. • During the adventure of floating down the Mississippi River, as Huck knows more about Jim‟s inner world and the nature of the civilized society, he gradually recognizes the irrationality of the traditional concept of discrimination against blacks. To shake off the unreasonable traditional concept and do the right things that accord with the humanity, he has made efforts again and again. These efforts can be called one mental escape. • To Huck, the objects he wants to free from is not only the oppressed and brutal society itself, but also the whole system against humanity that is used for maintaining the society. Therefore, his escape has double significances.
•
Bruce King noted that ,In the relationship between Jim and civilization and the relationship between Huck and civilization, there is one similar and profound case. Both Jim and Huck are vagrants without a knowledge of the society. Whenever the civilized society becomes too restrained, Huck will sneak away. Once Jim suspends that he would be sold, he runs away. Huck‟s wish to cast off all the troubles corresponds with Jim‟s saying that “I own myself”. These two, one desires to break away from the restrains of civilized society ,another longs to get rid of the oppression of civilized society. In essence, their escape is an accuse of civilization that kills humanity. That‟s what holds them closely together.

The theme
• Ⅰ The theme of objection to slavery • Ⅱ The theme of escape
The theme of objection to slavery
• In the history of American literature, Mark Twain is not the first one to treat the black slave as the positive figure and the brutal slavery as the main attack target. Nevertheless, in Huckleberry Finn, he for the first time, touches upon the traditional theme of objection to slavery in a brand-new way. •
• Secondly, in depicting Huck Finn‟s character, the writer shows more about the struggle of two kinds of power in his mind-his kind and straight nature versus the racial discrimination that the civilized society instilled in him. This description is in fact the denouncement and attack to slavery and racialism in a deeper level. Considering that long after the American Civil War the blacks are still suffering from the ill-treatment by many unrepentant whites in South, the description of the friendship between Huck and Jim has more remarkable social meaning.
• Firstly, from portraying the moving image Jim- a runaway slave, the novel discloses the evil of slavery prevailed in South America in the former part of 19th Century. To be noted is that denouncement and attack is not just laid in the abstract preach or argumentation, but showed by the description of Jim‟s miseries and the demonstrating of the dark social reality. Meanwhile, as a protest against the inhuman slavery, the novel uses a lot of space to talk about the process of Jim‟s escape and it acknowledges Jim‟s resolution and courage in getting rid of the oppression and seeking for his own freedom and happiness.
