  • Mark Twain As Philosopher - 1,135 words
    ... true murder story, letting an innocent man go free (Twain 147). Twain wrote a better closing for Tom than he ever had in real life, because in real life murder was a part of everyday life. Huck's life is also similar to Twain's, but not in such a direct way. Twain, and many of his main characters (Paul 1175), including Tom, are fatherless.
