Unique Characteristics, Skills, Abilities
Clemens grew in a time and place where owning human beings was a fact of life. His family and relatives owned slaves. He did not approve of it, and wrote a powerful novel about it.
He attended school in Hannibal, Missouri. Shortly after his father’s death he left school & was apprenticed to a local printer. In 1850, he got a job with the Hannibal Journal. He also worked as a riverboat pilot.
He grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, a large town on the banks of the Mississippi River. He loved fishing, swimming, and dreaming up adventures for his gang of friends. He also spent time on his uncle’s farm in Missouri.
He was a gifted public speaker, storyteller, and writer who used humor to entertain and focus on social injustices. He is also known as a miner, inventor, soldier, and riverboat pilot.
Endearing qualities
Twain’s sense of humor, generosity, and actions against social injustices are a few of his endearing qualities.
He wore a white suit every day because dark colors depressed him, and white colored clothing “enlivens the spirit”
