mark twain journal

I think that Mark Twain is trying to say that being good is not always the answer. He has a common theme of mischevious boys that always win in the end. Huckle berry fin is a great example of this. I wonder if Mark was a good or bad boy in his life. This must have been written for adults because it has a long and complicated story with a pretty violent ending.  The relevance of Mark Twain to me is his nostalgic writing, to me this is classic American literature.  Here is a great quote to sum up his writing theme. “ This Jim bore a charmed life – that must have been the way of it. Nothing could hurt him” this was how Mark Twain felt about evil or troublesome boys. I feel this is an interesting and different point of view on life growing up. Over all I think Mark twain was an interesting writer of the American realism era.
