Stephanie Stratis English 161W Paper #1 – Whitman Vs. Ginsberg I can still remember the first time I read “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain and wishing I had even a fraction of his literary talent. His ability to portray each and every character and place with such realism and colorful perfection consumed me with envy and moved me beyond words. Now while this is a mere example of the affinities one author feels for another’s work, a much greater and noted example can be found in Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” in comparison to Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself”. Despite both author’s living in entirely different centuries, the similarities in each work of literature are uncanny, at times even seeming like one writer is continuing where the other left off. In regards to literature in both of their eras, it becomes seemingly and obviously so that Whitman both inspired and paved the way for Ginsberg.

Taylor Biggs Roughing it We get from the start of “Roughing it” that this is a fairly young twain. We pick this up immediately when he mentions his brother and all of his accomplishments. When he is excited about being his brothers assistant we get a sense of a young boy that is yearning to get out and experience something different. The language he uses is very descriptive compared to “Tom Sawyer”, Twain takes in everything around him and enjoys all that his eyes see. I feel like through the book Twain matures progressively through his experiences.

He wanted to learn about the works of the world and life.
