Ah, yes. It's been a long time since I've posted. I almost forgot how to post things. It seems foreign, and even intimidating posting such long essays on here. Thank you to anyone who reads. Anyways, I will be posting a few excerpts from a paper I wrote this year comparing two fathers of modern literature: Mark Twain and Charles Dickens. Mark Twain's real name was Samuel Clemens, and I will be referring to his real name in these essays. I hope you will learn some things about these authors. Perhaps these will encourage you to pick up one of these books at the library - or even re-read them!
