18、 developed. It is on Twain s ingenious plot devices. In this first chapter, the plot begins with the birth of two boys on the same day in the same town. One is very poor and unwanted, and the other is very rich and very much desired.Edward Tudor spent his life in the confines of the position he has

19、daydreamed about the freedom experienced by boys such as Tom Canty. He is very innocent and kindhearted. When he saw his people under the pressure, he would save them without thinking.

22、e the position back to Edward.Miles Hendon is a good friend of Edward Tudor, and he representsthe best of Englishmen; he becomes his protector. He is also very kindhearted, justice and intelligent. Because of his kindhearted, he forgave his brother, becauseof his justice and intelligent, he saved an

23、d helped little prince. And at last, he realized little Edward is a real prince, and he received what he had done for his kindhearted.The Prince and the Pauper is one of Twains most tightly plotted novels. In addition, this novel is strongly thematic. Mark Twain is particularly interested in contras

24、ting the lives of the rich with the lives of the poor, the lives of the nobility with the lives of the lower classes. However, Mark Twain is also interested in showing that a person of noble birth is not different from a person of common birth.It is really an enlightened book. It showed us many life

25、 methods and reveals social reality. It shows the social reality in America at that time. Mark Twain use irony ably to critic the discrimination according to wealth, social position and so on.

26、other.The real prince must have learned a lot. At first, he want to try to be freedom, he finally realized the ugly face of the other people, they judged people only by their appearances,so he have suffered many unexpected sorrows and have done many different things that he had never done. Finally,

27、he changed to be a real man. Through him, I know expiring difficulties is a good way for a man out of a little boy.

28、reaming, it was just the vanity. But some time past, he suddenly felt it was a good feeling. His original quality was raised up and leaded him to return the position back to the King. Power and other wealthy things are not easily to gain. When you got the highest power, you should use it to help tho

29、se who need your help.Miles Hendon is a brave, kindhearted gentleman. When prince was in troubles, he always saved his life. Through him I thought a lot. Kind is always need at anytime in anywhere to anyone. By this role, I also learned forgave and tolerant again. Remember, one good return deserves

30、another.In fact, everyone in the world is equal; we have the equal rights. How can we judge someone only by his appearance?No one can judge anyone who has high position or low position, because everyone is equal when we were born. No matter he is a prince or a pauper, they have the same rights to en

31、joy life and also have the same obligation to fulfill.
