syntactical and rhetorical features.
Background
The formation of the speech:
Obama’s address “A More Perfect Union” was delivered on March 18,2008 as one of the most important speeches in his presidential campaign. It was written against Jeremiah Wright’s controversial anti-racial statements. Wright was a retired senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ (三一联合基督教会）and former pastor of Barack Obama. He made some furious assertions against the widespread white racism and scorching remarks against the American government. But Obama’s speech contained more than criticisms against the pastor. Instead, he appealed to his audience to place Dr. Wright’s remarks in a historical and sociological context.

(par.2-20) Mark Twain's main experiences and worksPart III. (par.21-22) Mark twain's disappointment in human life in later yearsPart 1: (the first para.)IntroductionThe first paragraph serves as an introduction of the whole text. It provides an general appraisal of Mark Twain, the father of Hack and Tom, the nation's best-loved authorThe first paragraph is highly conclusive.Part 2: (Tramp printer...renew our edges. P155)Section 1. (Tramp printer... the settled United States)the setting, background knowledgeSection 2. (Young Mark...that invented retreating)early years of life on the Mississippi and as a Confederate guerrillaSection 3. (He went west...best-seller.)On his way to success.Section 4. (At the age...renew our edges.)Comment on his best works.Part 3: (Personal tragedy...forget them forever.)Personal tragedy and conclusion.A brief outline of TomHe lives with his younger brother Sid and Aunt Polly in St. Petersburg, a remote town on the banks of the Mississippi river. While his brother Sid is a “model” boy, Tom is quite the opposite of his brother.At school he disobeys his teacher and always busies himself with outside matters at the lessons. Tom‟s bosom friend is Huck Finn, a boy deserted by his drunkard of a father and looked upon as an outcast in the town. But Tom has read many books and wants to make his life just as bright as it is depicted in the stories. He devises games in which the boys play the role of brave outlaws and warlike Red Indians who are the terror of the rich and the oppressors.One night the boys involuntarily witness the murder of Dr. Robinson. An innocent man is charged with the crime. But on the day of the trial Tom fearlessly exposes the real criminal the Indian Joe who escapes through an open window of the courtroom.Another night, the boys went out to dig for hidden treasures near a deserted house three miles from town. There they almost fall into the hands of the murderer who accidentally finds a box filled with gold coins. Shortly after the incident Tom goes to a picnic with a party of schoolmates. Exploring a cave, he gets lost with Becky Thatcher, thedaughter of the Judge. Tom beha ves like a brave boy, calms Becky‟s fears and finds the way out of the cave. In a few days‟ time Tom and Huck return to the cave. They find the dead body of the murderer, who could not have found the way out of the cave and also the hidden treasures.A brief outline of HuckTom and Huck find the money. They each get six thousand dollars, which they deposit with Judge Thatcher. The Widow Douglas takes Huck for her son and tries to “civilize” him.In the meantime, Huck‟s father tries to get the money a nd succeeds in kidnapping the boy and imprisons him in a lonely cabin. To free himself from both the boring widow and the brutal father, Huck runs away to a deserted island in the middle of the Mississippi river.In doing so, he makes it appear that he has been murdered by some robbers. On the island he meets Jim, Miss Watson‟s runaway slave, and the two become close friends. They started down the river, come across all sorts of people and have lots of fun and adventures. Toward the end of the novel Jim is caught and imprisoned at a farm, and Huck and Tom make a spectacular but unsuccessful attempt to rescue him. At last it turnsout that Huck‟s father has died and Miss Watson has also died, but not before setting Jim free in her will.On Huck, we find a character who:1)seeks freedom, maintains his independent waysit is the freedom from the widow, the freedom from the cruel father, most importantly, it is freedom from the bondage of racism, freedom to be loyal to a Blackman.he is obviously a universal character, the free soul that every boy would wish to be before the world breaks him.It’s a story of a quest for freedom and an escape from what society requires in exchange for success.2)Is a symbol of simple honesty and conscienceHuck lacks Tom’s imagination, he is a simple boywith little education, suspicious every attempt to civilize him3)Is a boy comes from the lowest level of white society but Tom from the middle class.His experiences are deeper-going and his moral travail more meaningful.his distance from mainstream society makes him skeptical of the world around him4)Is a son of nature--- not be indoctrinated with social values in the same way as TomThe school of hard knocks has taught him skepticism, horse sense has given him a tenacious grasp on reality. But it has not toughened him into cynicism or crime. Nature gave him a staunch and faithful heart, friendly to all underdogs and instantly hostiletowards bullies and all shapes of overmastering power.5)Is far more interesting than Tom, telling the story in his own wonderful vernacular.All these show the characters of the AmericansBesides, Jim is as great a creation as Huck. He is the only heroic character Mark Twain ever drew in is novels. Jim’s heroism lies in his kindness, endurance, courage and essential humanity.On Mark TwainThrough such works as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain shaped the world’s view of America and had a profound impact on the development of American writing, a prose-style suited to the American ethos. His presentation of nativeAmerican material, his art of the vernacular idiom, his departure from the tradition of the 19th century gentility, and his sense of alienation influenced numerous American writers of the 20th century, among them Ernest Hemingway.His thinking pattern, values, language used in his novels and even his humor are of American color.“All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn…it’s the vest book we’ve had… There was nothing before. There has been nothing so good since.”(Hemingway)Detailed Study of the Text1. Mirror of America: Metaphor.

1、The playfulness of the modern aesthetic is , finally, its most striking---and also its most serious and, by corollary, its most disturbing--feature.
• 克隆是英语单词clone的音译， clone源于希腊文klone，原意是指幼苗或嫩枝，以无性繁殖或营养繁殖的方式培育植物，如杆插和嫁接。如今，克隆是指生物体通过体细胞进行的无性繁殖，以及由无性繁殖形成的基因型完全相同的后代个体组成的种群。克隆也可以理解为复制、拷贝，就是从原型中产生出同样的复制品，它的外表及遗传基因与原型完全相同。
The playfulness of the modern aesthetic is the most striking and serious feature and, as a natural conclusion, it is also its most upsetting feature.现代美学的玩耍性说到底是其最突出的，也是最严肃的，而必然地也是最令人不安的特征。
Science, in its playfulness, introduces human growth genes into cows and this forces students of ethics to redefine cannibalism. Does the eating of such cows with their human genes constitute cannibalism? 这种玩耍性是模仿产生了博奕论、虚构粒子和黑洞的科学的荒诞性。这种科学的玩耍性还通过把人的生长基因植人牛体，迫使伦理学的研究者重新审定食人肉的习性的定义。
