We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

AFTER READING MARK TWAIN
Some Suggestions for the Solitary Reader and Some for a Group.
1. In any Mark Twain book, find a good bit of dialogue that gives the character of the speakers.
2. Find an anecdote with a surprise ending.
3. Find a description of beautiful or picturesque scenery.
4. Find a lively description such as the departure of the boats from New Orleans in Life on the Mississippi (Chapter XVI) or the chapter "Early Morning from the Overland Stage" in Roughing It. List the words that suggest sound and movement. Would these be good scenes in a motion picture?
5. What incidents or characters show Samuel Clemens' compassion for the weak and the unfortunate and his indignation at injustice.
6. What did Samuel Clemens look like at different ages? As a small boy? As typesetter in a printing office? As river pilot? As mining prospector? As a public speaker?
Consult chapters in Albert Bigelow Paine's Tlie Boys' Life of Mark Tivain; and for Clemens as a family man read what his daughter Susie wrote in her diary (Chapter XLVII).
Perhaps your answers to the above questions will help you with the following: * s
1. "Find episodes in Mark Twain's life suitable for short stories, brief plays, verses, radio scripts, assembly talks, and a photoplay."*
2. "Make a puppet show with characters from Tom Sawyer."**
