Mark Twain is the founder of American critical realism literature. Mark Twain created a large number of works in his life, involving novels, plays, essays, poems and other aspects. In content, his works criticize unreasonable phenomena or ugliness of human nature, and express the writer's strong sense of justice and care for ordinary people as a compositor and sailor. Stylistically, both experts and ordinary readers believe that humor and satire are his writing characteristics. He experienced the development process from early capitalism to imperialism in the United States, and his thoughts and creations also showed a stage of development from mild ridicule to bitter satire to pessimism. He was good at acrimony and satire in the early stage, and his language was more exposed and intense in the later stage.
In 2006, Mark Twain was named 16 out of 100 people who influenced America by the authoritative American periodical Atlantic Monthly [2].
