The Mark Twain Thesis

A detailed Summary of The Mark Twain Thesis

To look at that person on the honor role, who's the best athlete,

has the newest car, and gets all the ladies. Or the person in art class who

continually produces the best art work and ruins the grade curve for the rest

of us. Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good

example. Throughout his life Mark Twain continued to produce masterpiece

writing leaving no good example un-battered. A man who gets his dream job,

and is despised by the whole town of just dreamers. A person who's

convictions are stronger than his flesh. And a seemingly harmless man, who

tells the story as it should be told and comes under the utter annoyance of the

narrator. Imperfect characterization played an , obvious, major role in his

writings proving that few things annoyed him more than a good example.

The pose that Twain takes to his characters that seem to be

striving for excellence is quite unique. In an excerpt from Life On The

Mississippi Twain tells us of a man with a dream. As imperfection has

a man to freeze to death in the dead cold of winter? The narrator ,before

to themselves that they fully believe they will not have to keep. Promises of,

that could usually win but would bet you either way. Twain, instead of

"The joy in our hearts at our deliverance was poisoned; well-nigh dissipated

more attention and over analization. Indeed when the narrator walks into a

realistic situation (in Twain's accounts of them) shimmer with imperfection.
