Twain Facts Samuel Langhorne Clemens November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910 American author, humorist, and satirist Grew up in Missouri Riverboat Captain along the Mississippi River Died of heart attack FIND THREE MORE FACTS

Halley’s Comet "I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together."

Quotes - NOW YOU FIND 1 “Man is the only animal that blushes – or has occasion to.” Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often. All right, then, I'll go to hell. Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary. Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. Buy land, they're not making it anymore.

Satire Satire is the language to ridicule human weaknesses, vices, or stupidity, with the hopes of bringing about social change Uses humor to criticize Favorite modes Hyperbole – an exaggeration to absurdity Irony – stating the opposite of what is meant

“The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” This the cabin where Twain wrote the story It’s on Jackass Hill in Toulumne, County California It’s visited today by many and is a historical landmark.

TCJFOCC 1865 short story First great success as a writer Brought Twain national attention Main characters: Simon Wheeler (bartender); Jim Smiley (gambler); Leonidas W. Smiley Look for conflicting cultures (especially the settled east and the unsettled west)
