Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), better known by the pen name Mark
Twain, is best (1) remembered for his keen social observation and as the
author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn. The (2) latter became a landmark in the history of American literature.
The book first (3) appeared in 1885. Although it has been (4) truly popular
with young readers and taken as a (5) sequel to the earlier Tom Sawyer, it has
also (6) attracted the attention of serious literary critics. Based in the mid
1800s, the novel often (7) deals with deeply rooted
attitudes, (8) particularly racism, of the time.
Immediately after its publication the book became controversial and has
remained (9) so up to the present. It has been (10) excluded from the sections
for children of several libraries and removed from reading lists and school
programs because of its alleged racism. However, its defenders claim that
the (11) plot of the book is anti-racist, (12) referring to its satirical nature.
