Today we will be comparing and contrasting the two great authors, Jack London and Mark Twain.
These two authors both wrote many great works like Call of the Wild, White Fang, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, and Tom Sawyer.
I am going to compare and contrast the setting, narration, and theme of White Fang and A Connecticut Yankee. The setting description in White Fang by Jack London is developmental. You see him building the story line all the way from White Fang’s parents. Where as in A Connecticut Yankee, the setting description is pretty brief before we actually get into the story. The narration style of White Fang is Jack London telling the thoughts of the animal while he is in the story. This is very different from Mark Twain’s style. Mark Twain makes you feel like you are sitting down with him, and he is telling you the story. The theme in White Fang is about the wild because Jack London loved animals. Where as in A Connecticut Yankee, Mark Twain shows his love for civilization.
Jack London and Mark Twain both have very different styles of writing, but are loved by everyone!
