Mark Twain (1835-1910), pseudonym for Samuel Langhorne Clemens, is considered one of the greatest American writers. He's famous for "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1885), "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876), "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" (1889), along with stories, essays, articles, and more. Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) is arguably the best writer of all time, this is one of the reasons I feel that he express his bias so well.
It was a curious childhood, full of weird, fantastic impressions and contradictory influences, stimulating alike to the imagination and that embryo philosophy of life which begins almost with infancy. John Clemens seldom devoted any time to the company of his children. He looked after their comfort and mental development as well as he could, and gave advice on occasion. All these facts allow him to express his bias just that much better.
When Clemens wrote his novels, he wrote with a strange type of sincerity often involving some of the adventures of his childhood and also some of his childhood friends. Twain enjoyed to write with this candor because then he could convey his bias through his experiences. I feel that he does this very well and I agree that by using personal experiences you can involve your audience into your writing better. .
This brings me to another reason as to why I feel that Twain's bias is so easy to grasp. Samuel knows exactly how to capture his audience with his literary works. A perfect example would be in the beginning of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", Twain gets his audience involved very quickly because as soon as you meet Tom you want to continue reading. .
It seems to many that Mark Twain may be the best author of all time. I do not disagree with this because I feel that the man is exceptional. In the novel "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" he does an outstanding job of portraying to his audience his bias.
