inhomor in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn1.Mark Twain is a great critical realist writerMark Twain is a great critical realist writerMark Twain was born in Mississippi River town of a rural poverty lawyer family,when he was young he had done many positions such as an apprentice,line workers,Mississippi River sailor and so on,but the effective work was to be a reporter andwrite humor literature.It had a great influence for Mark Twains creative works.Besides Mark Twains life seemed destined to bring legend.The year of his birthHalleys comet had across in the sky.Later,Mark Twain predictioned for himself,when in 1910 Halleys comet appeared again he would die.That year April 19 andcomet appeared,he also died in the second day.Mark Twain was the founder ofcritical realism literature,the world famous ofthe short fiction master,best known for his superb sense of humor.He experienced thedevelopment process from the free capitalism to imperialism,and his ideas andcreative works also changed from relaxly to sarcastic to pessimistic stage.TheAdventures of Huckleberry Finn was the story of a white kids ranaway with a blackslaves and wandered about the Mississippi River.Underlying Twains good humor itexposed to us a dark subcurrent of Antebellum cruelty and injustice that makeedTheAdventures of Huckleberry Finn a frequently funny book with a serious message.In short,Mark Twain was a great realistic writer.He made the great contributionto American literature development.It was him who combined the American folkhumor and serious literature together,His friend said that he wasthe“history of theLincoln literature”.Helen Keller once said:I like Mark Twain-who dont like him?Even if is god,will also love him,give their wisdom,and inits heart out love andfaith a painting of the rainbow.William Faulkner said Mark Twain was the first realAmerican writer,we are inheriting him.2.Mark Twain is a master of humourMark Twain is a master of humourAs we all know,Mark Twain was good at humor,almost all his works are full ofhumor.For example,in The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin,when Huck determinedto help Jim fled,he said:ok,let me go to hell!,this is terrible,terrible words!but Iam just say so.And if I am,I will tell the mouth never intended to be right.I justput this matter from the head all them out.I said,I will go to the evil way,and this ismy field,grew up well.So go the other way is not adept as the beginning.This isa psychological description full of satire and humorous:obviously,rescuing slaves isa good thing,but he was called it the evil.But if we take the particular socialenvironment to think about it,it is really a evil.Twain mixed white language andblack language together to describe the dark world,so as to make people smile andthought-provoking.American literature professor Karl Byrd(Karl Bode)believe MarkTwain progressively mixed the American folk humor and serious literature of otherwriters together.3.Mark TwainMark Twain s American humors American humor inin The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin The Adventures of Huckleberry FinThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finwas one of the succeed novel of Mark Twain,it is his masterpiece,now lets try to understand the American humor of this novel.3.1 Mark Twains works are always a laughingMark Twain was famous master of humor in the world,his works are popular,one of the reason is that the language of the works is humor,making people laugh.These points attracted the attention of the readers.For example,in book there is apassage:“If I see a stump,I took it for a man;If I trod on a stick and broke it,it mademe feel like a person had cut one of my breaths in two and I only got half,and theshort half,too.”It is so funny that hecomparedthe broken branches to cut down thepant!How can cut off pant?But we will smilefor real feel of huck s psychology.Twain is always good at attracting the readers heart with this wonderful humorouslanguage.3.2 Mark Twains skillful tips of all the mocksPerhaps it was just because of the sailors experience,he had a chance to learnabout all kinds of irony and mock language;Perhaps he was used to the note that thiskind of language and collected a large amount of this kind of words.In this novel,wecan see many examples.Example One：“Then the old man got to cussing,and cussed everything andeverybody he could think of,and then cussed them all over again to make sure hehadnt skipped any,and after that he polished off with a kind of a general cuss allround,including a considerable parcel of people which he didnt know the names of,and so called them whats-his-name when he got to them,and went right along withhis cussing.”Example Two：“Hes plumb crazy,sI;its what I says in the fust place,its what Isays in the middle,n its what I says last n all the time-the niggers crazy-crazy sNebokoodneezer,sI.”These two examples express the special character of the specific person.3.3 Mark Twains mature literature weapons is funny language and dialect.In this book,Twain used several kinds of funny languages and dialects,includingblack language and northwest regions vulgar language and Pikeswille dialect.Jimslanguage is typical of black language.For example:“Well,you wouldnt ben here if ithadnt Jim.Youd a been down dah in de woods widout any dinner,en gittn mosdrownded,too;dat you would,honey.Chickens knows when its gwyne to rain,en sodo de birds,chile.”This is typical of black language,pronunciation fuzzy,and alwaysomitted many syllables.Using dialect language can reflect a lack of education in theblack.3.4 Mark Twains witty and ironic tone reflecting many sad painful things.Twain said:the secret of humour itself is not comfortable and happy,but sad.In real life he found many sad painful things,but wrote them with a witty and ironictone,let a person can not help smiling,let people smile.he said:it is a reallyeffective weapon,and nothing can resist smiling.He never for humor and humor.Heis proud of,when 78 for humor and humorous writer in his contemporaries hasdisappeared,he was still in the United States to continue his literary world with hiscriticism and sarcastic humor.The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin is immortal,because he through described a14 years old childs,a national life and soul was written decritly by the sound of alaugh in humor.Mark Twain said,.a foreigner can copy a national appearance.any foreigner can understand its intrinsic content-its soul,life,language,thought.only one,he can understand peoples soul and life,and he has the qualification todescribe them from beginning to end-this is the national novelist.4.4.Mark Twain made tremendous contributions for American literature humorMark Twain made tremendous contributions for American literature humorHemingway had once said The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn was the bestnovel in the history of American literature at that time.I admire him since he had wonthe Nobel Price,a symbol of kind of authority.From the Internet,I also learned that thestory of Huck Fin is so popular in U.S.that several movies about it had beenreleased.It is only natural for me to hold high expectation towards the book.William Faulkner said:is the father of literature.This shows the greatcontribution that Mark Twain made for American literature,the deep influence on thelater writers.Mark Twain developed the ironic,even sad humor from pure humor,it is hishumorous becomes a kind of important literary style from generation to generation!5.5.ConclusionConclusionWhen reading the novel,I was astounded by Hucks free will and his typicalcharacter.He hates to sivilizedby the conventional morality and would rather live inthe wild to explore the truth of the nature.Besides,the language of the book is also unsilvilized,it is composed with thedialect among blacks in the southern states.As an authentic presentation of the life ofsoutherners,the wording is coherent with the style of Huck:fresh and unspoiled.Works CitedWorks
