An Analysis of the Writing Styles of Mark Twain

His colloquial Language and Satire in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

I. The Background of Mark T wain

1.1 Mark Twain and His Experience

Mark Twain, pseudorym of Samuel langhone Clemens, was brought up in the town of Hannibal, Missouri, near the Mississippi River. He was twelve when his father diod and he had to leave school. He was successively a printer?s apprentice, a tramp printer, a silver miner, a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi, and a frontier journalist in Nevada and California. This knocking about gave him a wide knowledge of humanity. As one of America?s first and foremost realists and humorists, Mark Twain usually wrote about his own personal experiences and things he knew about from firsthand experience. His life spanned the two Americas, the frontier America and the emerging urban, industrial giant of the twenty-century.

As a witness of the civil war, Twain saw clearly the great changes in nation?s economic development and political life. With the final victory over the South the North once again enjoyed its wielding power in the nation?s administration. Now the acute conflict at home was undermined and the American people again focused their full attention on re-construction after the war. Because most majority of the slaves were emancipated, the slave-based economy of the defeated South had its prosperity became rootless. In this case, clusters of groundless southern poor whites and the newly freed slaves headed directly of indirectly for the new-liberated cities to seek opportunities. It may be called the …Gold Rush? rejuvenated, or rather, it was so-called the …American Dream? by some critics. Twain also could not help rushing to the west to will his American dream. He once believed the idea of development and industrialization since it would modernize the young country and encourage the enterprising spirit of the American who had long been famous for it. He was firmly enthralled by such fever, so once again he held an optimistic attitude towards the post-westward expansion. He drew much inspiration from the unparalleled and magnificent event and spoke highly of its decision-makers and its people.

1.2 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The best work that Mark Twain ever produced is, as we noted earlier on, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It tells a story about the United States before the Civil War, around 1850, when the great Mississippi V alley was still being settled. Here lies an America, with its great national faults, full of violence and even cruelty, yet still retaining the virtues of …some simplicity, some innocence, and some peace.? The story takes place along the Mississippi River, on both sides of which there was unpopulated wilderness and a dense forest. It relates the story of the escape of Jim from slavery and, more important, how Huck Finn, floating along with him and helping him as best he could, changes his mind, his prejudice about black people, and comes to accept Jim as a man and as a close friend as well.

At the heart of Twain?s achievement is his creation of Huck Finn, who embodies that mythic America, midway between the wilderness and the modern super state.

1.3 A General Introduction to the Mississippi

The Mississippi is not only Mark Twain?s life stage but also American society?s stage. It flows through the middle of America; it?s one of the greatest rivers in the world. In Twain?s early years, the geographic core was the great valley of the Mississippi River, and the Mississippi is the main ar tery of transportation on the young nation?s heart. In 1857, young Mark Twain entered that

world as a cub pilot on a steamboat. Later, when he wented to write something, this land provided him with many plentiful writing materials.

II. Analyzing Two Writing Styles of Mark T wain (in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) Mark Twain was the first important writer to consistently use the American speech rather than England?s English. His honor, whether it was aimed at pure entertainment or at social satire, was irresistible. His realism, and details influenced many later American novelists. That was why Ernest Hemingway once said “all modern American literatures came from one book written by Mark Twain called The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” And it became Twain?s masterpiece. Mark Twain?s three years? life on that returned to the Mississippi left such a fond memory with him that returned to the theme more than once in his writing career. Huckleberry Finn is a veritable recreation of living models, and is H uck?s book, not Jim?s. The two major characters, Huck and Jim, represent the two sides of the dilemma: Huck strikes out for an absolute freedom, while Jim requires, in order to gain his own freedom, that Huck qualify his freedom by entering into the pursui t of Jim?s. It starts out as a comedy , an …As Y ou Like It? with a hero drawn from the bottom of society rather than the top. Huck and his father, Jim, the swindlers(the Duke and the Dauphin), colonel sherburn and the drunkard Boggy-all these characters prototypes in real life. The portrayal of individual incidents and characters achieved intense verisimilitude of detail. Serious problems are being discussed through the narration of a little illiterate boy. The fact that the wilderness juxtaposed with civilization, the people half wild and half civilized, many of whom are worse, vulgar, are brutal. As for the style of the book, the form is based on the simplest of all novel-forms, the so-called picaresque novel, or novel of the road, which strings its incidents on the line of the hero?s travels. But, in this novel, rivers are roads that move, and the movement of the road in its own mysterious life transmutes the primitive simplicity of the from: the road itself is the greatest character in this novel of the r oad, and the hero?s departures from the river and his returns to it compose a subtle and significant pattern. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn shows us the major achievements of his art: the masterful use of dialects; humor and pathos, innocence and evil. This novel demonstrates his ability to capture the enduring, archetypal, mythic images of America and to create the most memorable characters in all of American fiction.

2.1 Use of Colloquial Language

The book is written in a colloquial style, in the general standard speech of uneducated Americans. Moreover, the prose of Huckleberry Finn established the prose virtues of American colloquial speech. It has something to do with ease and freedom in the use of language. Most of all, it has to do with the structure of the sentence, which is simple, direct, and fluent, maintaining the rhythm of the word?s group of speech and the intonations of the speaking voice. Mark Twain?s colloquial style has influenced a large number of American writers.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn displays the major achievements of his art: the carefully controlled point of view, with its implicit ironies expressed through the voice of a semiliterate boy: the masterful use of dialects: the felicitous balancing of nostalgic humorist and realism, humor and pathos, innocence and evil, all united for a journey down the Mississippi that serves as the mythic center of the novel. This novel demonstrates his ability to capture the enduring, archetypal, mythic images of America and to create the most memorable characters in all of American fiction.

2.1.1 V ernacular Language

Mark Twain wrote in his unpretentious, colloquial, and poetic style. He used vernacular language, dialect with spelling representing pronunciation. Part of this comes from his interest in

humor. The directness of the language is a very influential point in Twain?s style. Ernest Hemingway in the 20th century said that he had learnt his craft from Mark Twain because if the direct speech and the direct narration that Twain was able to achieve. The hoax and tall tale are also part of twain?s style. Hoax is writing something fantastic and pretending that it were true, much like the tall tale. It tolls as if it were true, and so the reader would laugh that any body could believe such preposterous things, the burlesque making fun of establishes ways of writing.

Mark Twain said, “I amend dialect stuff by talking and talking it till it sounds right.” He wanted his writing to have the sound of easy-going speech. In Huckleberry Finn the fountainhead of the American colloquial prose, he wrote seven different dialects and each can be distinguished. If the reader is a linguist, he can examine the different pronunciations that Twain has shown. In his own time, dialect writing was considered humorous. People got a big laugh out of reading these misspell words. Another feature of the book, which helps to make it famous is its language. The book is written in the colloquial style in the general standard speech of uneducated Americans.. Mark Twain?s introductory note on accents is an indication of his conscious attempt to achieve accurate detail. “In this book,” he says, “a number of dialects are used, to wit: the Missouri Negro dialect; the extreme forms of the backwoods southwestern d ialect; the ordinary …pike country? dialect; and four modified varieties of this last. The shadings have not been done in a haphazard fashion, or by guesswork; but painstakingly, and with the trustworthy guidance and support of personal familiarity, with t hese several forms of speech.” “Painstaking ” and “not haphazard,” though they possess a humorous ring, denote the conscientious effort on the part of the author, and trustworthiness and familiarity and the author?s awareness of dialects in using which rev eal his attempt to reproduce actual daily speech with a degree of accuracy. A recent and very influential recasting of Huck?s vernacular voice has identified. We may quote a passage from this masterpiece as an illustration:

“I took the sack of corn me al and took it to where the canoe was hid, and shoved the vines and branches apart and put it in; then I done the same with the side of bacon; then the whisky-jug. I took all the coffee and sugar there was, and all the ammunition; I took the wadding; I took the bucket and gourd; took a dipper and a tin cup, and my old son and two blankets, and the skillet and the coffee-pot/ I took fish lines and matches and other things- everything that was worth a cent. I cleaned out the place I wanted an ax, but there wa sn?t any, only the one out at woodpile, and I know why I was going to leave that. I fetched out the gun, and now I was done.”

The words used here are, perhaps “ammunition” which is etymologically French, mostly Anglo-Saxon in origin, and are short, concrete and direct in effect. Sentence structures are most of them simple or compound, with a series of “then” and “ands” and semi-colons serving as connectives. The repetition of the word “took” and the stringing together of things leave the impression that Mark Twain depend solely on the concrete object and action for the body and movement of his prose. What is more, there is an ungrammatical element, which gives the final finish to his style. The whole book approximates the actual speech habit of an uneducated boy from south American of the mid-nineteenth century.

The vernacular language in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn initiated the new style of language in American novels, and has had significant influence upon American writers of later generations.

2.1.2 Local Color

Local color as a trend first made its presence in the late 1860s and early seventies. The vogue of

local color fiction was, the logical combination of a long, progressive development. It was the outgrowth of historical and aesthetic forces that been gathering energy since early nineteenth century. Twain refers to the elements, which characterize a local culture, elements such as speech, customs, and also a particular place. Local colorists concerned themselves with presenting and interpreting the local character of their regions. They tended to identify and glorify, but they never forgot to keep an eye on the truthful color of local life.

Twain depicted social life through descriptions of local places and people he knew best and believed that “the most valuable capital, or culture, or education usable in the building of novels is personal experience.” Y et, sometimes Twain wrote a sentimental story, not because he was sentimental, but because he wanted to show the reader how stupid such a story really was. The reader has to be very careful when he or she reads Mark Twain. Twain often played trick on the reader. He often said things when he meant just the opposite. This is the irony that he got the humor from the Far West. He would do things that he did just to make fun , but the reader might think that he really meant it. Then the reader was the tender-foot who taken in .

Mark twain preferred to respect social life through portraits of local places which he knew best and drew heavily from his own rich fund of knowledge of people and places. The Adventures of huckleberry Finn is one such example. Finn is living breathing personality. It is through his use of language and his activities that Twain creates character and sets down objective truth: Finn is uneducated; he dislikes civilized ways because they are restrictive and hypocritical he likes. Meanwhile, local color mixed romantic plots with realistic descriptions of things which were readily observed, with the customs , dialects, sights, smell and sounds of regional America. After the Civil war, local color had further developed, In this book, this kind of literature mainly describes the local life, the keynote was optimistic, and the language was narrative humorous. The char acters he created were humorous and full of wittiness. Mark Twin?s work was regarded the witness of America?s pure local life. According to Calkins, “Few American writers have written the same after reading telling.” From my point of view, American literat ure is so charming for this kind of works.

Local color became dominate in American Literature(1860-1870). One of the most important writing features of Mark Twain is the use of Local colorism. It is also impossible in the Mississippi River towns through which Huck and Jim journey to imagine being a hero .This in turn makes Sherborn a cold-blooded killer and Huck a saint (and Tom a good). Let me repeat it as a saint，however, Huck is no more bent on social reform, no more optimistic about it, than is sherburn. So local colorism is a variation of American realism, and also a description of a small refined region. Twain, breaking out of the narrow limits of local-color fiction, described the breadth of American experience as no one had ever done before, or since, and he created The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a masterpiece of American realism that proverbs to be one of the great books of world literature.

2.1.3 Pun

In English paronomasia called pun, means call by a different name. The exact definition is: Humorous use of word to suggest different meanings, or of words of same or similar sound has different meanings. There are five forms of pun: homophonic pun, paranomasic, antalaclasis, sylletic pun, asteismus. In a certain context, pun has several pragmatic functions. Throughout all of Twain?s writing, we see the conflict between the ideals of Americans and their desire for money. But Twain never tried to solve the conflict. He is like a newspaperman who reports what he sees.

In this situation, his humor was often rather childish. This may bespeak why the critic P. Abel said:” Twain was a boy and an old man, but never was he a man.”

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, we can find many words and phrases that were used vividly to describe the things that happened, such as …I went along slow then, and I wasn?t right down certain whether I was glad I started or whether I wasn?t. This sentence is very interesting; pun is used to express the author?s mood at that moment. We can also use another kind of language to replace the original, but the effect is so different. So we can conclude that pun played an important role in this novel.

2.2 Satire in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Satire is a way of criticizing people or ideas in a humorous way to show that they have faults or are wrong, or a piece of writing or play, which uses this style. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain shows satire on southern culture before the civil war, when the Mississippi valley was still being settled. Twain blended two different subjects, the experience of westward expansion and the experience of southern slavery. And he wrote about both regains of the country. His attitudes toward the south were much less pleasant than his attitudes toward the west, because he confronted the south problem of slave of mistreatment of humans by humans. Through the change of the white boy Huck?s attitude toward Jim, a runaway black slave, Twain condemned racial discrimination. Twain made fun of typical American values, yet underneath he felt a brooding pessimism not only about American valuable but also about life itself. It was a dreadful thing to see Human beings be awful cruel to one another. Due to Twain?s own experience, satire is successfully used in this novel. There?s one sign ificant scene which should be remembered, Huck Finn witnesses many instances of cruelty, brutality and hypocrisy in the township along the river Here are four points about his satire in this novel.

2.2.1 Vanity

V anity in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has a perfect embodiment. Twain viewed the poor whites and showed the reader how these no-count whites thought they were better than black slaves. Many share-coppers just able to make enough money to live for these sorts of illusions. V anity was the only thing that kept them above the slaves. Their standard of living in many cases was beneath that of slaves. The only thing that made them feel good about themselves was that they were white. And Twain made the reader laugh at the ludicrous idea that they were held. For Huck Finn, the journey on the raft with Jim was a voyage of moral discovery. At the early stage, Huck Finn looks upon Jim as a Negro slave with a common attitude. However, as they progress down the river, he changes his mind and no longer has prejudice against black people. He gradually comes to see Jim as a human being and begins to accept him as his friend. Y et Huck Finn never fully succeeds in breaking free from the prevailing attitude towards Negroes. As for this part, it?s a large contra st to the other people. Huck Finn rebels against the atrocious king and duke. He is disgusted with their trifling with human beings. It is because that Huck Finn is such a good and noble person that his moral dilemma in helping a Negro slave to escape constitutes a profound condemnation of the way of life and moral values of American south. His conscience has been formed by the morality of St. Petersburg and he never quite succeeds in freeing himself from that society?s corrupt standards. Huck Finn?s formed conscience is the measure of the moral corruption of the community that shaped. So he sinks into an inner struggle. He becomes increasingly caught between his friendship with Jim and the common social standards. Compare with others, Huck Finn?s goodness i s always unconscious and spontaneous, arising out of the

deepest recesses of his nature. He abuse cares about the welfare of others and cannot bear to see anyone suffer. He shows sympathy for the nicest of Peter Wilks and saves money for them. So the opposite character embodies vanity has come into the stage. However, humor could no more be found in Twain?s biter works. On the contrary, it was replaced by bitter satire, and vanity is an embodiment of Twain?s satire.

2.2.2 Unquestioning Acceptance of Violence

The second object of satire is the genteel upper-class southerner. The genteel upper-class southerners don?t understand themselves, either. They lived a aristocratic life. In the novel, Granger fords are violent and hateful toward other people. Out of senseless perversion of a code of “honor”, they are involved in a feud, one that has been going on for generations with the shepherd sons. Its cause has been forgotten. Every Sunday, the shepherd sons and the Grange fords go to the same church. The shepherd sons sit on one side of their guns against the wall. And they listen to the preacher talk about brotherly love. When the sermon is over, they pick up their guns and they keep an eye on each other as they walk out the door so they will not get shot in the back. The satire is merciless, not only because these people are violent, but because they accept their violence as right. No one wants to reform. Huck keeps asking “Why?” It is just the way life is. This unquestioning acceptance of violence is the reason why Twain condemned southern society. The destruction and tyranny of Huck Finn?s father are other reasons for his escaping and desiring to be free. Huck Finn?s father is a part of that society with Huck Finn?s wishes. In contract to Miss Watson?s hypocr isy, his father presents the brutality and severity of civilization that threaten to destroy Huck Finn. His father believes that money and education are all the things of that time. Huck didn?t accept the violence from his father. Huck Finn?s freedom is mo dified by the presence of his father?s actions. Living in the woods, his father beats him quite frequently and sometimes leaves him locked up in the cabin for a long time. Once when his father returns from town, he is so drunk that he almost kills him. Huck Finn is mature enough to recognize the danger and only when he becomes convinced that his father represents immediate threat to his life does he decide to escape. Throughout his life plans to escape Huck Finn is more concerned for his life than anything else and prefers simply to disappear and begin a new life. Huck Finn?s desire to be free, at it?s deepest levels, and explores the possibility of an individual achieving true freedom in society. He is constantly forced to flee from a civilized society in order to preserve his sense of integrity and identity. It?s only when he is on the river in the group with Jim that flees secure and nature. Having escaped from the feud, he remarks that there is no home like raft and other places seem to be cramped up and smothery but a raft is. And he feels free and easy and comfortable very much on a raft. It is striking that whenever, Huck Finn comes into contact with the people along the river he is forced to assume a false identity. His initial escapes from his own cruel father and the society of St. Perterburry forces him to feign his own death. Brian Donnelly argues that Huck Finn?s true life could only be achieved by dying in the eyes of the people and by escaping down the Mississippi River. This is the way that Huck chose to the problem: violence.

2.2.3 Coward

The violence on which southern culture rests is a pretence or illusion to disguise the basic cowardliness of the people and their refusal to act as individuals. Twain felt it even more deeply. People are vi olent, in Twain?s view, because they are cowards. Things are all mixed up in southern society, in any society, based on violence. It is a society without a leader. Twain?s attack on these people is bitter. In the middle part of this novel, the king and the duke were seriously evil; indeed,

the long wilks episode is not funny. Had a lawyer Levi Bell, a precursor of Puddn?s head Wilson, not intervened, the outcome would have been dark in the measure of sherburn; in sherburn?s world there are no good people to be ruined. In Wilkses? world, however, the good people are so powerless as the coward in Brecksville. The hopeless lambs offer no hope of betterment; they only measure its absence. Huck and Jim had left St. Petersburg with high hopes of freedom that are badly set back at cairo. The Willks episode ends in the utter defeat of these hopes. There seems to be no way to escape the duke and the king, the rest we have already discussed. Jim?s captivity is paralleled by Huck?s in thrall to Tom. It is on the very ve rge of the collapse of all possibility of freedom that Huck places his highest bid for it. Indeed, Jim has already been recaptures when Huck finds himself at last making the decision Twain had not been able to make at Cairo: “It was a close place,” he realizes, “I was a trembling, because I?d got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knew it. I study a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself:? All right, then, I?ll go to hell.?” Let us say the obvious: Twain has chosen the route of social engagement when it?s too late in the story to take it. Huck has decided when he is willing to go to hell, but the harder decision was whether to go to Ohio. All in all, Huck is not a coward, those people who want to use violence to attack others can be called coward. During that years, the whole American society upheavaled strongly, and this novel deeply depicted the experience of this kind of person, under Mark Twain?s writing, coward is so vivid to embody the features of that age. We can pay more attention on sherburn, a merchant and a military man, a double pillar of society—but in a society that does not deserve to be supported. On the contrary, it merits being brought crashing down, for all the reasons Huck has been exposing through the incidents of his journey. This is not a deformable society; one can only curse it and leave. Sherburn curse it and stays, and Twain finds himself approving the cursing and not knowing what to think of the staying. Does he see something of his own situation in Sherburn furious isolation among idiots and knaves? Sherburn, moreover, is not merely an inhabitant of society; as storekeeper and military man, he is presuming ably one of those who shape it. In Huck, Twain depicts on the contrary someone who has no power at all. Homeless and no money soon became an orphan. The real questions were not whether he will leave society but whether he will enter it and to what end? From his onto logical distance, Huck looks at the world of men with natural detachment. At his most critical he feels “ashamed of the human race”. Instead, sherburn sets about shaming the damned human race, hating its inescapable presence. The murder of Boggs, who is the lowest representation of humanity in sherburn?s eyes, expresses that hatred: he tells Boggs to be gone, but Boggs stays and sherburn can?t stand his presence another moment. What sherburn cannot do is himself leave, so as to be, like Huck, peacefully and even compassionately ashamed of the human race—away from it.

2.2.4 Slave

After reading this novel, this book has been brought to my attention by a surprising assortment of people: blacks and whites. At that time, blacks played a role of slave. The common element in this encounter has not been the kind of people making statements, nor shared opinions or political perspectives, nor even their assessments of the article. Rather, they have been united by a virtually uniform structure in their narratives, suggesting an odd sort of sub-genre. Sometimes these persons report their own experience of reading the essay, and sometimes they describe the experience of one of their students. The reader likes the essay but feels troubled about this, not knowing whether the author is black. Uneducated black slave named Jim, the book relates the

story of the escape of Jim from slavery and, more important, how Huck Finn, floating along with him and helping him as best as he could, changes his mind, his prejudice about black people, and comes to accept Jim as a man and as a close friend as well. Meanwhile, Jim is very kindhearted. All of Huck?s virtues come from his good heart and his sense of humanity, for most of the things he was taught turned out to be wrong; for example, he was taught that slavery was good and right, and that runaway slaves should be reported, so what Huck has got to do is to cut through social prejudices and social discriminations to find truth for himself. Huck starts by believing that blacks are by nature lower than whites-inferior animals of sorts in fact. Through their escape down the river, he gets to know Jim better and becomes more and more convinced that he is not only a man, but also a good man. Thus he ends up by accepting him not merely as a human being but also as a loyal friend.

2.3 A Combination of Colloquial Language and Satire

To sum up, fundamentally, Twain is a great American writer. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an outstanding novel; one of the most successful writing styles is a combination of colloquial language and satire. In fact, most of Twai n?s works are the combination of both colloquial language and satire, but The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was a case in point. On the other hand, it is his masterpiece as a humorist while the novel also can be eyed as a satire on sentimentality and Romanticism on the other. We have ever seen colloquial language and satire in some works, but no one?s writing is so appropriate like Twain?s. It displays American culture out of the ordinary and the attitude toward the entire society. In this book, the author use the first character to narrate, meanwhile colloquial language as the main writing language has come into the stage, in order to have the effect on vivid writing, satire is come out. In this situation, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn displays the major achievements of his art: writing in a rich and intricate style that supported his intense scrutiny of complex human experience.

Ⅲ. The Significance of Mark T wain’s Writing S tyles

Colloquial language and satire are so important in this novel. This image of the quintessential American writing is not really literary goes along with a vision of the great American novel but as a sort of spontaneous telling of unmediated experience. In the same passage Hemingway explains that he has never been able to read Thoreau for being unable to read literary naturalists, only those who are extremely accurate. There aren?t nothing more to write about, and I am rotten glad of it, remarks Huck at the end of his story. The heart of Twain?s achievement is his cre ation of Huck Finn, who embodies that mythic America, midway between the wilderness and the modern super state. That was why Ernest Hemingway once said “all modern American literatures came from one book written by Mark Twain called The Adventures of Huckl eberry Finn.” And it became Twain?s masterpiece. In short, neither enlightenment nor retrospection elevates the style or the philosophy of Huckleberry Finn?s narrator into the high culture that has placed the work itself at its pinnacle. Ⅴ. Conclusion

As one of America?s first and foremost realists and humorists, Mark Twain usually wrote about his own personal experiences and things he knew about from firsthand experience. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Twain?s best book because, for whate ver reasons, he brought together in it, with the highest degree of artistic balance, those most fundamental dualities running through his work and life from start to finish. Most of all it has to do with the structure of the sentence, which is simple, dire ct, and fluent, maintaining the rhythm of the word?s group of speech and the intonations of the speaking voice. Mark Twain?s colloquial style has influenced a

large number of American writers. Twain depicted mostly the lower class of society. Meanwhile, local color mixed romantic plots with realistic descriptions of things which were readily observed, i.e. with the customs, dialects, sights, smell and sounds of regional America. Twain shows satire on southern culture before the civil war, when the Mississippi valley was still being settled. Twain blended two different subjects, the experience of westward expansion and the experience of southern slavery. His contribution to the development of realism and to American literature as a whole was partly through his colloquialism and satire. Commenting on Mark Twain as a social critic, Philip Foner observes that Twain?s social criticism ranks with that of Milton, Swift, Defoe, and Bernard Shaw both in literary quality and influence on public opinion, and that it is an important part of Twain?s bequest. In this novel, one of the most successful writing styles is a combination of colloquial language and satire, it displays the major achievements of his art: writing in a rich and intricate style that supported his intense scrutiny of complex human experience. It is only right that Mark Twain should be remembered both as a great literary artist and a great social critic in the history of the United States.

吐温 吐温是TWEEN的音译，也叫吐温型乳化剂，为司盘（Span，山梨醇脂肪酸酯）和环氧乙烷的缩合物，为一类非离子型去污剂。 化学名称：聚氧乙烯失水山梨醇脂肪酸酯，简称聚山梨酯（Polysorbate）。 由于司盘为山梨醇与不同高级脂肪酸所形成的酯，故吐温实际上时同类型的系列产品，在一般精细化工店或化学试剂公司分20,40,60,80好多种，根据不同的需要来选用。 吐温20、21、40、60、61、80、81、85. 吐温-60为硬脂酸酯；吐温-80为油酸酯；吐温-20为月桂酸酯，为聚氧乙烯去水山梨醇单月桂酸酯和一部分聚氧乙烯去水山梨醇单月桂酸酯的混合物。 外观和性状：淡黄色至琥珀色油状液体或膏状物，溶于水、乙醇、油脂等。 原理：由于聚山梨酯分子中有较多的亲水性基团——聚氧乙烯基，故亲水性强，为一种非离子型去污剂。 作用与用途： 1.生物学实验中乳化蛋白，在使用时，Tween和同类型的Triton X-100（聚乙二醇辛基苯基醚）非离子型去污剂不破坏蛋白的结构，可减少对蛋白质之间原有的相互作用的破坏。离子型去污剂如SDS则破坏蛋白的结构。 2.在生物学实验中作为封闭剂，封闭剂应该封闭所有未结合位点而不替换膜上的靶蛋白、不结合靶蛋白的标委、也不与抗体或检测试剂有交叉反应。Tween-20有复性抗原的作用，可提高特异性的识别能力。在做western blot时，用惰性蛋白质或非离子去污剂封闭膜上的未结合位点，可以降低抗体的非特异性结合。最常见的封闭剂是BSA、脱脂奶粉、酪蛋白、明胶和Tween-20（0.05-0.1%）稀溶液。 3.常作为水包油（O/W）型乳化剂，使其他物质均匀在溶液中分散，主要用于农药、食品、化妆品。与其他乳化剂如月桂醇硫酸钠或司盘合用，能增加乳剂的稳定性。吐温可用来使精油乳化后溶解于水液体中，完全发挥作用。相对来说，吐温20更温和一些，吐温80的乳化性更强一些。 药用： （1）可作某些药物的增溶剂。 （2）有溶血作用，以吐温-80作用最弱。 （3）水溶液加热后可产生浑浊，冷后澄明，不影响质量。 （4）在溶液中可干扰抑菌剂的作用。 吐温20 英文名：Tween-20 别名：聚氧乙烯失水山梨醇脂肪酸酯；吐温-20；Tween-20；Polyoxyethy-lene(20)Sorbaitan Monolaurate;Sorbimac-rogol Laurate 300. 分子式与分子量：C58H114O26; 1227.5 来源与制法：本品为山梨醇及其一失水、双失水化合物与月桂酸酯按每摩尔山梨醇及其脱水化合物与约20摩尔的环氧乙烷在碱性条件下缩合而制得。酯化用的月桂酸中可能含有其它脂肪酸。 性状：本品为黄色或琥珀色澄明的油状液体，具有特殊的臭气和微弱苦味。相对密度1.01，沸点321℃，闪点321℃，折射率1.472，粘度（25℃）0.25~0.40Pa/s。分子中含有较多的亲水性基团，可与水、乙醇、甲醇和乙酸乙酯混溶，不溶于液状石蜡、不挥发油和轻石油，1份本品可溶于130份棉籽油和200份甲苯中，5%水溶液pH5~7.HLB值为16.7。 作用与用途：聚山梨醇酯是一大类非离子表面活性剂，具有乳化、扩散、增溶、稳定等作用。在制药、日化、食品、纺织等工业中，广泛用作乳化剂、分散剂、增溶剂、稳定剂等。作为乳化剂高浓度电解质和pH值的改变对其乳化能力影响很小，是一大类优良的油/水型乳化剂。在制备油/水型乳化剂时，常与脱水山梨醇酯类合并使用，乳剂的稳定性更好。改变与其合用的乳化剂类型和用量，可以制得水/油型或油/水

从马克·吐温的小说看美国本土色彩文学

【摘要】美国本土文学的崛起不仅标志着真正的美国文学的形成，也助推了美国文学挣脱欧洲文学的枷锁，从独立走向成熟。作为美国本土文学的集大成者和发展者，马克?吐温的作品囊括了美国本土文学的绝大部分特点，除了地道的本土作家、本土气息的故事内容和人物角色，最可以反映美国本土文学独特色彩的就是其语言特点。文章以马克?吐温的小说为例，从现实的故事背景、独特的语言风格、深刻的社会意义三方面，分析美国本土文学的特征。 【关键词】马克?吐温；美国本土文学；特点 中图分类号：i06 文献标志码：a 文章编号：1007-0125（2015）11-0256-02 美国本土文学的出现标志着真正的美国文学的形成，伴随其发展，美国文学经历了从自嘲和被排斥的窘境，逐步独立并走出了欧洲文学的阴影。所谓美国本土文学，是以本土的语言风格描绘本土的人物、故事为特点的文学作品。作为美国文学史上一抹亮丽的色彩，其重要的地位不仅是因为它开辟了文学的新天地，更重要的是赋予它文学生命的美国本土文学作者。马克?吐温作为美国本土文学的开山鼻祖和集大成者，对美国本土文学的发展功不可没。如果说独立的美国文学始于美国本土文学，那么可以毫不夸张的说，美国本土文学始于马克?吐温。 马克?吐温通过其本土特色的作品将美国本土文学推向高潮，将民族标签印于美国文学作品之上，使曾经被欧洲传统文学压抑和排斥的美国文学不仅翻身独立，而且日渐繁荣。贯穿于美国本土文学中的美国本土文化、方言俗语、风土人情等，都成为其独树一帜的文学色彩。在马克?吐温的作品中，这些本土的文学色彩随处可见。马克?吐温作为地道的本土作家，以轻松幽默的方言俚语，讲述自己亲身经历的或是生活化的美国故事，描绘原汁原味的美国乡土风情，反映真实的美国社会。 一、现实的故事背景 美国文学的独立是内外合力的结果，全国统一趋势是自主文学得以发展的外部力量，美国作家们希望本国的文化得到认同的渴望是内在努力。长期受欧洲文学的影响，被压迫的不只是美国文学，还有美国文化，美国文学的独立也意味着美国文化的自由。美国本土文学作品具有明显的民族性和民族烙印，并不是一味的虚构人物架空历史，而是追求还原本真，以纯粹的美国风格和故事背景作为创作源泉，这种创作风格的作品表现的更加具有贴近性、生活性和趣味性。 首先，真实的时代背景。马克?吐温的小说都是以真实的时代背景为故事主线，他的经典著作三部曲（《密西西比河上的生活》、《汤姆?索亚历险记》和《哈克贝利?费恩历险记》）的时间节点是美国南北战争，书中描绘了战争前密西西比河上的美国村庄的生活，这个时代承载了马克?吐温的童年。在大的时代背景下又细化出具体的故事背景，南北战争前黑人还被奴役，闭塞的美国南部以及那里沉闷的生活都为故事的发展提供了源泉。在马克?吐温众多作品中，最有时代特色的代表作就是《竞选州长》。虽然同样是以南北战争为时间点，但这部作品是以战争后统一的美国为背景，这一阶段的美国迅速发展资本主义，宣扬民主、平等，表面上风平浪静，实际暗潮汹涌，虚伪的平等和假民主使得竞选成为荒谬的行为，而这些正是《竞选州长》整个故事的开端。 其次，生活化的故事。本土色彩的文学除了真实本土的故事背景，还要有接地气的故事内容。独立后的美国文学大胆的讲述美国人自己的故事，或是纯朴的乡村生活，或是小人物的悲欢离合，亦或是本民族的豪放与狭隘，无论好坏，都是最贴近美国人的故事。仍以马克?吐温的三部曲为例，这是一系列发生在密西西比河上的故事，那条河是美国人熟悉的河，故事里的村庄是美国最普通的村庄，那里发生的故事不只是作者自己的童年，也同样触碰到了多数美国人的记忆。而《百万英镑》正是马克?吐温亲身经历的缩影，在那个狂热拜金的时代下，不只是马克?吐温头脑发热迷失于财利的诱惑中，一定有更多的美国人会在故事中看见自

马克吐温小说中幽默风格的研究

龙源期刊网 https://www.sodocs.net/doc/905303948.html, 马克吐温小说中幽默风格的研究 作者：梁益建 来源：《知识文库》2016年第17期 马克·吐温是美国文坛中杰出的文学巨匠、幽默大师，被尊称为美国文学之父。幽默风趣是他文笔比较突出的特点，与此同时，他还比较善于运用各种各样的写作技巧来揭露美国最真实的社会现象。本文主要对马克·吐温小说中的幽默风格进行讲解和分析。作者将会以马克·吐温的经典作品《哈克贝里·费恩历险记》来具体分析其中所蕴含的幽默艺术气息，从而让更多爱好者深入的认识和了解他的写作风格。 一、马克吐温小说中幽默风格的来源 马克·吐温是十九世纪美国批判现实主义文学的代表家，也是美国批判现实主义文学的奠基人。他从小受生活环境的严重影响，随着社会环境的转变，他的主题思想和创作风格都遭受到很大的改变，他的笔风从以前的轻松、幽默风格逐渐转变为讽刺、悲观的风格。美国文学史上，他是唯一一个在作品中使用完全、纯粹口语的小说家，鲜明的主题思想蕴藏在他的作品中，通过使用幽默、滑稽和诙谐的语言，揭露美国资本主义社会中存在的很多矛盾与问题，并将血肉模糊的残酷现实展现在世人面前。只要是读过他的作品，你就不难发现，马克吐温的大部分作品都难以抹去幽默的痕迹。然而，在幽默的背后，你肯定会发现一个最重要的问题，他那幽默的写作风格肯定不只是为了博得读者们的微微一笑，更多的是对那些令人心酸幽默背后所隐含的讽刺与无奈应该都会有所领悟。现实生活中，我们也会遇到几个充满幽默感的人，也许就是我们现在所说的开心果类似的人，如果在进行创作时能把幽默作为一种写作风格，一定是一件很不容易的事情，因为作品中的幽默不能只是让笑笑就够了，，而是要让人们通过这个幽默看到真正的内涵所在，并能够对此有所领会和感悟。 二、透过《哈克贝里·费恩历险记》分析其中的幽默艺术 马克·吐温，作为世界闻名的幽默大师，他创作了大量的文学作品，经常会运用的语言风格主要是以幽默为主，当然还有讽刺意味存在。相比于传统文学作品，他的文学作品摆脱了传统文学语言模式的限制，他经常会在他的作品中恰当地加入部分美国俚语以及地方性方言等口语化内容，极大地提升了文学作品的幽默感。马克·吐温的小说作品中，幽默技巧具有多种表达方式，对比、夸张、比喻和双关的修辞手法是他使用相当普遍的，借这些手法来营造和烘托幽默氛围。首先，对比是可以对比性质不同的两种事物，在这种强烈的反差下，营造了一种幽默感，缓解紧张情绪和压力，让人们在某种程度上能达到放松的目的。然后，夸张的这种修辞手法，对马克·吐温而言，是他非常偏爱的一种修辞手法，幽默的效果就通过夸张人物语言或者作品情节来达到。还有一种飞白的修辞手法，它主要是采用一些效仿手法或者故意的语病来营造幽默的氛围。通过从文字、修辞和写作方式等多个方面，他的作品受到了全世界许多读者的喜爱，他的作品充满了幽默是人们喜欢并追捧的主要原因，因为他的作品能让人们在纷乱繁琐、枯燥无味的生活中找寻到一些另外的快乐，并且他的作品最大的特点是简单易懂，就凭这

试析马克·吐温作品的幽默艺术 内容摘要：马克·吐温的作品富有鲜明的美国特色，采取幽默、戏谑乃至荒诞的手法，塑造了众多的形象。由于他对社会生活中的种种弊端和罪行做了辛酸的嘲讽和抨击，因而堪称“黑色幽默”。本文试图通过漫画式夸张荒诞的运用、口语化的语言风格、出奇制胜的情节等几方面的分析，来领略其作品的幽默讽刺艺术。 关键词：马克·吐温幽默讽刺荒诞 19世纪60年代是美国幽默文学的兴盛和繁荣时期。这个时期的幽默文学作品都具有令人喜闻乐见的幽默形式，受到读者的欢迎和追捧。但是其缺点也是显而易见的，那就是这些作品中思想内涵往往缺乏深刻性，大多只是一味的取笑和逗乐，有时不免有哗众取宠之嫌，这就使得幽默文学作品出现了一种思想性和艺术性相背离、幽默性与讽刺性相脱节的尴尬局面。 作为一个卓越的幽默讽刺艺术家，马克·吐温将自己的创作植根于19世纪的美国乡土文学、口头文学和幽默文学的沃土之中，并承担起幽默文学与严肃文学的双重重担。他凭借着自己睿智和锐利的眼光，匠心独运，用艺术的手法将幽默和讽刺高度结合在一起：一方面，他采用幽默、滑稽这种百姓新闻乐见的形式进行创作；另一方面，他又赋予作品深刻而丰富的社会内涵。通过这种方式，马克·吐温实现了作品的幽默和讽刺的有机结合、思想性和艺术性的有机统一，从而解除了幽默文学的尴尬局面，并形成了自己小说作品中特色鲜明的幽默讽刺风格。 鲁迅在评价马克·吐温时说：“成为一个幽默家，是为了生活，而在幽默中又含着哀怨，含着讽刺，则是不甘于这样的缘故了。”①马克·吐温自己也曾表示：“不能一味逗乐，要有更高的理想。”②在自传中总结自己的幽默小说创作经验时，他说：“为幽默而幽默是不可能长久的，幽默只是一股香味和花絮，我老是训诫人家，这就是为什么我能够坚持三十年。”③马克·吐温在这里所说的“训诫人家”就是指批判和讽刺这一严肃的创作目标。他不要做“读者眼前的小丑”，而是要成为“生活的导师”。尽管马克·吐温自己深深的明白这样一个道理——“老老实实”地做一个明哲保身的“幽默家”，那就既能博得读者们的喜欢，又能获得资产阶级文艺批评家的赞赏，但他宁愿坚持一个对社会弊病和丑陋现象进行揭露和批评的“讽刺家”的立场。 一、通过漫画式的夸张和荒诞手法，产生强烈的讽刺效果。 英国著名的谐谑画家马克斯?比尔博姆认为，把人物的特征从头到脚全部用夸张的手法来表现是成为一幅完美的诙谐画的必须手段。要做到这一点，就要将其显著的特点进行放大而将其次要的部分适当地加以冲淡。“因为谐谑画是一种俏皮的艺术，精雕细琢，观众是笑不起来的。”事实上，谐谑画的夸张手法和文学作品的夸张手段有着异曲同工之妙，两者都是表现幽默的一种技巧。相比之下，荒诞通常以一种非理性和异化的形式来表现人的异化和局限性，同时也表现结果与动机的分裂、本质与现象的背离。夸张和荒诞之所以能够和幽默讽刺相关联，是因为在文学创作中，这两种艺术手法同样能表达某种讽刺意义，抑或能带给人们诙谐的幽默感。 在创作实践当中，马克·吐温使用最多的艺术手法就是漫画式的夸张和荒诞笔法，这两种手法在他的小说中随处可见：有的是局部或者某一片断的夸张和荒诞，有的则是通篇性或者结构性的夸张和荒诞。漫画式的夸张和荒诞手法的运用，一方面能够将作品的主题浓缩其中，有力增强作品的幽默和讽刺效果，于幽默的情趣当中展现作品深刻而严肃的内涵；另

鲁迅与马克吐温讽刺手法比较(英文)

Comparison On satire in Luxun’s and Mark Twain’s Works HUANGHE S&T COLLEGE SCHOOL OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES ZHOU ZHAN JUN (黄河科技学院外国语学院周战军) Abstract:Living during the period of 19th-20th century, Lu Xun and Mark Twain are two great representatives of Chinese and American novelists respectively. Both of them are masters of writing in satire. This article compares the similarities and differences in their satire and has the conclusion that their influence is still far-reaching. Key Words: comparison; satire; direct satire; roundabout satire I. Purpose of the thesis Both Lu Xun and Mark Twain are masters of satire and contribute a lot to Chinese and American literature respectively. They had great influence upon writers after them, especially for their writing vehicles—satire. So far many researchers have become increasingly interested in Lu Xun’s satire or Mark Twain’s satire. However, few studies have made on the comparison of Lu Xun’s satire and Mark Twain’s satire. This is one of the reas ons why I’m interested in this topic. For other reasons, they had a large number of similarities: Lu Xun was the penname of Zhou Shuren; Mark Twain, pseudonym of Samuel Clemens. The life span of the two writers covered nearly the same age, Lu Xun was born in 1881, and died in 1936; while Mark Twain lived from 1835 to 1910. Meanwhile, Lu Xun was the founder of modern Baihua; while Mark Twain played a very important role in spreading American Colloquialism. Both Baihua and Colloquialism are milestones in literature. The most important reason why I’d like writing this is that I appreciate Lu Xun and Mark Twain’s prominent satire. S ome experts had analyzed Mark Twain’s satire, they pointed out that Mark Twain mixed humor with satire. Some scholars even argued th at Mark Twain’s writing style was transferred from humor to satire. Still, other studies have shown that Lu Xun described the psychology and performance of characters to criticize the unawake people. In this thesis, I want to make a comparison on Lu Xun’s satire and Mark Twain’s satire, to have a preliminary study on the style of their satire. In order to finish this job, some books are helpful, such as Lu Xun’s Kong Yiji, The True Story of Ah Q, The Medicine,Mark Twain’s The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras Country, The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg. Meanwhile, some writer’s views about Lu Xun and Mark Twain’s satire are also very important, such as Li Chuanpen, his article “On Lu Xun’s satire” argues that Lu Xun made full use of people’s appearance, ps ychology and action to criticize people’s apathy. [1] He gives us an example―Kong Yiji’s words and clothings. Y e Mang, “On the Satire of Lun Xun’s Novel”, published in June 15th 2007, points out in The True Story of Ah Q, Lu Xun used Ah Q’s view to satirize the people’s indifference.Wei Desan, “On the Satire of Mark Twain” argues that Mark Twain made full use of the arrangement of the plots and humorous words to criticize the evil. [2]He Dongyan, “On Mark Twain’s Humor” points out Mark Twain mixed humor and satire to satirize the injustice. [3] The purpose of this paper is to make a comparison on Lu Xun’s and Mark Twain’s satire, to find out the differences and similarities of their satire. This paper falls into 3 sections: section one is to tell the purpose of this writing; section two is about the comparison on the style of their satire; section three is a conclusion that there are similarities and differences between Lu Xun and Mark Twain’s satire.
