All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.” During their trip down the Mississippi on a raft, Twain describes in a satirical (嘲讽的) and humorous way Huck and Jims encounters with hypocrisy, racism, violence and other evils of American society. His use in serious literature of a lively, simple American language full of dialect and informal spoken expressions paved the way for many later writers, including Hemingway and William Faulkner.Gone with the WindThe most popular romance novel of all time was the basis for the most popular movie of all time (in todays dollars). Margaret Mitchells book, Gone with the Wind, set in the South during the Civil War, won both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, and it remains popular, despite charges that its author had a blind eye regarding the horrors of slavery.Leaves of GrassThe publication of the first slim edition of Walt Whitmans “Leaves of Grass” in 1855 was the first appearance of a masterpiece that shifted the course of American literary history. Refreshing and bold in both theme and style, the book experienced many revisions during Whitmans lifetime. Over almost 40 years Whitman produced multiple editions of “Leaves of Grass”， shaping the book into an evertransforming kaleidoscope (千变万化) of poems. By his death in 1892, “Leaves” was a thick summary that represented Whitmans view of America over nearly the entire last half of the 19th century. Among the collections bestknown poems are “I Sing the Body Electric”， “Song of Myself”， and “O Captain! My Captain！” in praise of Abraham Lincoln.The American Womans HomeThis classic domestic guide, The American Womans Home, by sisters Catharine E. Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe is dedicated to “the women of America, in whose hands rest the real fates of the Republic.” It includes chapters on healthful cookery, home decoration, exercise, cleanliness, good air ventilation (通风方法) and heat, etiquette, sewing, gardening and care of children, the sick, the aged and domestic animals. Intended to elevate the “womans sphere” of household management to a respectable profession based on scientific principles, it became the standard domestic handbook.1.Which of the following best describes Ernest Hemingways feelings for Mark Twains book?AWonderful.
