Mark+Twain

Hello people of Earth, this is your pal Mark Twain ( actually its not really Mark Twain its a person who will remain nameless that is doing research on Mark Twain) To learn more about Mark Twain I would suggest that you read below! //**Please dont not edit my page unless I say.**//  * Thats me (Mark Twain)* A.k.a: Mark Twain Home Country and Continent: United States and North America Time Period: 1835- 1910 Famous for: His books Classified as: Author

In 1835 Halley's Comet entered the galaxy and so did Samuel Langhorne Clemens a.k.a Mark Twain. He was born in Florida, Missouri to his parents John Marshall and Jane Lampton. After about 4 years the Clemens family moved to the port city town of Hannibal, a common stop for steam boats arriving from St. Louis and New Orleans. For most of Samuel's childhood he was restricted from outdoor activities due to poor health. By age 9 he had seemed to recover from his sickness and was able to join the children outside. During the age of 12 Samuel was forced to undergo some changes when his father died of pheumonia. Three years later Samuel joined his brother Orion's newspaper working as a printer and an editorial assistant. While working for the newspaper Samuel found that he greatly enjoyed writing. Two years later at age 17 Samuel moved to St. Louis for a printing job. In St. Louis Samuel became an river boat pilot's apprentice and became licensed as a pilot in 1858. It is here that Samuel Clemens got his name Mark Twain. Mark Twain is a river term which means 12 feet when the depth of water for a boat is being sounded. By saying "Mark Twain" it means it is safe to navigate. Due to the Civil War in 1861 the river trade was stopped and Samuel went to work as a newspaper reporter. In 1870 he married Olivia Langdon, with whom he had four children. Sadly, one died as an infant and 2 died in their twenties. Clara, their only surving child lived to be 88 and had one child who also died. This means that Mark Twain has no direct descendants.

Mark Twain had always stated "I came into the world with Halley's Comet and I shall leave the world with Halley's Comet." Sure enough Twain kept his promise and on April 21, 1910 Halleys Comet came into the galaxy and Mark Twain left the galaxy. http://www.cmgww.com/historic/twain/about/bio.htm http://www.marktwainhouse.org/theman/bio.shtml

** A couple weeks ago my class was assigned a forced anology between our vip and something else. I was Mark Twain and my object was a FROG!!!!!! At first I was puzzled on how a frog and Mark Twain could fit together but after thinking REALLY HARD ( So hard my brain almost burst open!! lol) I found it. So read below and like it or else!!!! Mark Twain and a frog are alike in many ways. One easy way is Mark Twain wrote a book with the word frog in the title (you should check it out someday:)). Another way ,is like a frog, Mark Twain would move from place to place just like a frog hops from place to place. I will try to get my actual paper attached but I cant at the moment so until then I bid you goodbye!! **  Prince Edward Hannibal (who he was very fond of) President Roosevelt Harriet Beecher Stowe Fredrick Douglas Kaiser Wilhelm II Mahatama Gandhi Sigmund Freud Booker T.
