The Report on the Adventure of Tom Sawyer
The Report on The Adventure of Tom Sawyer
The book I read is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer, which was written by Mark Twain, and before I read the book, I search some information about him, I think it may support a lot of help for my reading.
Introduction of the author: Mark Twain is the pen name of Samuel Clemens. He was one of the greatest American writers. He captured a peculiarly American humor. He represented a new American voice. Mark was born in Florida, Mississippi, in 1835, and grew up in nearby Hannibal, a small Mississippi River town. When Samuel was 12, his father died of pneumonia, and at 13, Samuel left school to become a printer's apprentice. After two short years, he joined his brother Orion's newspaper as a printer and editorial assistant. It was here that young Samuel found he enjoyed writing. At 17, he left Hannibal behind for a printer’s job in St. Louis. While in St. Louis, Clemens became a river pilot’s apprentice. He became a licensed river pilot in 1858. Clemens’ pseudonym, Mark Twain, comes from his days as a river pilot. It is a river term which means two fathoms or 12-feet when the depth of water for a boat is being surrounded. “Mark twain” means that is safe to navigate. Because the river trade was brought to a standstill by the Civil War in 1861, Mark Twain enlisted in the Confederate militia early in the Civil War, but he soon left to begin working as a newspaper reporter for several newspapers all over the United States. His articles and stories became immensely popular in the decades that followed. In 1870, Clemens married Olivia Langdon, and they had four children. Mark Twain passed away on April 21, 1910, but has influence today. His childhood home is open to the public as a museum in Hannibal. Throughout his career, Mark Twain published more than 30 books, hundreds of short stories and essays and gave lecture tours around the world. By the end of his life in 1910, Mark Twain had become known as
