Marks real name-Mark Twain's real name was Samuel Clemens. Mark twain is also a phenomenal author his 2 best books were Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Mark Twain's books are very controversial because it deals with his life and other people have different have views and don't see eye to eye with him.
Interesting facts- He has a lot of fondness for cats. As I said before his real name isn't Mark Twain it is Samuel Clemens. He also worked as a printer when he was in his teenage years. Also when Mark was young he served in the American Civil War. At one time, he worked as a steam boat pilot. He also worked as a gold checking person and as a journalist. He was well appreciated as a lecturer and his method of story telling was praised by many. His stage presence was also appreciated widely. I think its amazing how much other stuff Mark Twain did and still had time to be one of the most popular authors ever.
Irony in literature is a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated.
Jules Verne was a French author who helped pioneer the science-fiction genre. Mark Twain and Jules Verne were both very good authors and they lived in the same time.
