Mark Twain Mark Twain wrote 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' in 1884. Since then, the book has been published in at least sixty languages, and some people say it is the best book ever created by an American writer, American students have The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' on their school reading list and parents, teachers and literary experts still debate the problems touched in the book. The writer's real name was Samuel Clemens. Samuel was born in 1835. He grew up in the state of Missouri on the Mississippi River. After his father died, young Samuel went to work as an assistant to a publisher. Ten years later, he became a pilot on a steamboat that sailed on the Mississippi. He heard the riverboat workers call out the words "mark twain!" That was a measure for the depth of water. Later he used this word combination as a pen-name. In 1861 Clemens travelled west and became a reporter for newspapers in Nevada and California. He wrote news stories, editorials and sketches under his pen-name Mark Twain. He became one of the best known storytellers in the West. He developed his own narrative style - friendly, funny, and often satirical, which won him a wide audience. The first success came with the story 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Mark Twain travelled a lot during his lifetime not only round the USA but also to Europe and the Holy Land. He naturally began writing books about his travels. 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' was published in 1876, and soon after he began writing a sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'. It took Mark Twain longer to write "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' than any of his other books. He started writing in 1876, but put the story away after about two years of work. He returned to it in 1883, and the following year it was published. From the beginning, the book was strongly debated. Some critics praised its realism and honesty, but the others strongly disliked it. They protested against the personality of Huck - a rough, dirty and disobedient boy. They could not agree that such a person should be the main character of a book. What's more, critics disliked the way Mark Twain used the language of a common, uneducated person to tell the story; no writer had ever done that before. Today there is no longer any debate about the importance of 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' in American literature. In 1935 Ernest Hemingway wrote: "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called 'Huckleberry Finn.' There was nothing before. And there has been nothing as good since." No wonder then that the novel 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' was a great inspiration for film producers - more than 20 screen versions of the book have been shot not only in America, but also in Europe, Russia and Japan. There are feature films, musicals, cartoons and even Japanese anime. 13 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' has been translated into many languages. 1) True 2) False 3) Not stated 14 The writer took his pen-name when working as an assistant to a publisher. 1) True 2) False 3) Not stated 15 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County' is still on the reading list for American school children. 1) True 2) False 3) Not stated 16 It took Mark Twain two years to write 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'. 1) True 2) False 3) Not stated 17 Literary critics expressed different opinions of 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'. 1) True 2) False 3) Not stated 18 Ernest Hemingway strongly criticised 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'. 1) True 2) False 3) Not stated 1) True 19 The first film on the novel 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' was shot in Europe. 2) False 3) Not stated Вы проводите информационный поиск в ходе выполнения проектной работы.

Why are serious companies getting interested in street art? 3. Where are the international street art exhibitions held? 4. What does the term street art include? 5. Which of the famous street artists managed to keep his/her real name a secret? 6. What is the most innovative technique in street art? 7. Why don't street artists sign their works with their real names? A. Street art can be described as art that is developed in public spaces and, above all, in the street. Typically, street art is used to separate public-space artwork from illegal graffiti and vandalism. It can mean a lot of different things including graffiti, poster art, wall paintings and just about any artwork that is displayed in public places. B. The start of street art is closely connected to graffiti, which appeared in New York in the 1970s. For the following ten years, street art grew more and more popular and was soon joined by new forms including street installations, street sculptures and 3D pavement illusions. Kurt Wenner was the person who developed 3D pavement illusion as an absolutely new form of street art and inspired a future generation of street artists. C. Street artists are often associated with opposition. Their artwork is considered a crime and vandalism and the artists may be arrested for damaging property, so the artists prefer to use nicknames and create their drawings mostly at night. They are not looking for fame, especially in countries where graffiti is still illegal. D. Banksy is probably the most well-known English street artist who has already become a legendary figure. His works are exhibited in galleries across the world. An American magazine even named him among the top most influential people in the world. However, it's still true that no one knows who the person really is. He is the only one whose photo has never been made or published. E. The motivations and ideas that inspire street artists are as different as the artists themselves. Some street artists, by creating certain works, want to draw attention to social and political problems. For other artists, street art is just a form of self-expression. And there are those who enjoy the danger and risks which are connected with working illegally in some city areas. F. Traditional graffiti has recently been used as a successful method for advertising. Lots of companies agree that traditional advertising on city streets is too boring and common, so many people simply ignore it. However, graffiti adverts catch your attention, creating a memorable Image. Big companies find this quite useful and try to include more elements of graffiti in their advertising campaigns.
