LIfe on the Mississippi
The Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain depicted the how people associate with the river and how different it is used from different people. Significantly, agriculture and transportation are the main usage of the people.Twain indirectly mocks at the people when he compares them to the Genesis who could separate the water from the land not literally. Most of his novels, including The Life on the Mississippi, often describe the lives of southerner people as they are depicted in Huckleberry Finn. Nationalism is the common theme in both of the book. For instance, Twain portrays how immense the Mississippi is and racism in America. Yes, according to him, they felt proud of being an American on account of this reason. In other work, they are too proud to have a huge river and to be a superior race.
