Mason Graduate Coordinator Accepted for the College __________________________________________ Van C. Gessel Dean, College of Humanities ABSTRACT TRANSLATING HUCK: DIFFICULTIES IN ADAPTING THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN TO FILM Bryce M. Cundick Department of English Master of Arts Filmmakers have had four main difficulties adapting The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to film: point of view, structure, audience and the novel’s ending. By studying the different approaches of various directors to each obstacle, certain facts emerge about both the films and the novel. While literary scholars have studied Huck from practically every angle, none have sufficiently viewed the book through the lens of adaptation, despite the fact that it has been adapted to film and television over twenty times. The few critics who have studied the adaptations have done so using dated methodologies that boil down to little more than a question of how faithfully the films recreate the novel. By judging a movie solely on the basis of the book’s merits, critics ignore the fact that a change in medium necessitates a change in material. With each adaptation, a new opportunity arises to study the novel from a fresh standpoint. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like first to thank Denisa and Tomas, for their bright smiles and unwavering support and patience with long days. I would also like to thank my committee chair, Dennis Cutchins, for putting up with hours of questions and providing the best sounding board for countless ideas of varying quality. He helped the good ones to stay and the bad ones to conveniently disappear. And finally, I would like to thank my two committee readers, Jay Fox and Dennis Perry, for their support and close reading. vii Table of Contents I.

    lopsided shape of the picture. It's so bulky Film and ravenous that it may have elbowed charcters out of the script and shouldered a dozen scenes out of the final cut. It's the kind of performance to which an actress's Mommie ego is obviously committed, where she puts everything she has on the line and dares the critics to hate her. The least you can say of Dearest Dunaway is that she totally inhabits the character. Her eyes appear unfocused and psychotic even in the rare moments when the character is in repose. As for "doing" Crawford, I found her expressions and mannerisms more arresting than the "un- canny" physical resemblance I was led to expect.

  • Mark Twain's the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in the Contemporary English Classroom
    Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in the Contemporary English Classroom Senior Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For a Degree Bachelor of Arts with A Major in Literature at The University of North Carolina at Asheville Fall 2009 By HOGAN CARRINGER _____________________ Thesis Director Dr. Blake Hobby _____________________ Thesis Advisor Dr. Merritt Moseley Carringer 2 When choosing a narrator for a work, why does an author decide that a child’s voice would suit the narrative best? Is it the child’s unsullied and unvarnished perspective because of his age? Could it be a child’s lack of experience with life in general which help to explain characters’ mistakes and plot complications? These are all important questions to ponder while analyzing Mark Twain’s novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In fact, by placing critics of the novel in a dialogue, we can see both why the work has been and will continue to be controversial and why this work should remain a part of the American literary canon. The connection between the two ideas is that readers who find the novel unacceptable often do so because they do not read it in a sophisticated way that acknowledges Huck's unreliability, instead thinking that he speaks for the novel's values, even in his offhand racist comments. To establish his unreliability is to separate the novel's racial attitudes from those of its narrator. A Bildungsroman set in the pre-slavery days of America, the work follows the travails of a ten year old boy named Huckleberry Finn and his runaway slave friend Jim as they journey down the Mississippi River in search of freedom from a restrictive and hostile society.

  • Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn As Anti Racist Novel
    Journal of Literature, Languages and Linguistics www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8435 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.46, 2018 Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn as Anti Racist Novel Ass.Lecturer Fahmi Salim Hameed Imam Kadhim college for Islamic science university, Baghdad , Iraq "Man is the only Slave. And he is the only animal who enslaves. He has always been a slave in one form or another, and has always held other slaves in bondage under him in one way or another.” - Mark Twain Abstract Mark Twain, the American author and satirist well known for his novels Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer , grew up in Missouri, which is a slave state and which later provided the setting for a couple of his novels. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn are the two most well-known characters among American readers that Mark Twain created. As a matter of fact, they are the most renowned pair in all of American literature. Twain’s father worked as a judge by profession, but he also worked in slave-trade sometimes. His uncle, John Quarles, owned 20 slaves; so from quite an early age, Twain grew up witnessing the practice of slave-trade whenever he spent summer vacations at his uncle's house. Many of his readers and critics have argued on his being a racist. Some call him an “Unexcusebale racist” and some say that Twain is no where even close to being a racist. Growing up in the times of slave trade, Twain had witnessed a lot of brutality and violence towards the African slaves.

  • Issues and Emotions That Have a Long Histo- Ry
    THE GREAT IDEAS ONLINE o Feb 16 Philosophy is Everybody’s Business N 853 Clifton Fadiman (May 15, 1902 – June 20, 1999) THE JOY OF READING Clifton Fadiman Unlike many men of letters, Clifton Fadiman thought of himself primarily as a guide to the wisdom of others. But as a guide, Fadiman had few equals: for over 60 years, the editor, essayist, anthologist, and broadcast personality led countless readers to myriad subjects. As an editor and judge for the Book-of-the-Month Club for over 50 years, he helped shape the reading choices of countless Americans. He wrote for the Encyclopaedia Britannica as well as numerous magazines and compiled over two dozen an- thologies on subjects ranging from mathematics to poetry to the pun. On radio and television programs, most notably the radio quiz show Information, Please!, he become a model of wit and er- udition. He wrote informal essays for Holiday magazine for 10 years, and more than 65 introductions to books ranging from The Martian Chronicles to War and Peace. For one anthology of short stories, he wrote not only the introduction, but also 63 commen- taries. In the early 1980s, Fadiman, who once listed his avoca- tions as wine and "the avoidance of exercise," co-authored the compendium The Joys of Wine with Sam Aaron. Fadiman once estimated that he had read over 25,000 books in his life. 2 At Columbia, Fadiman became lifelong friends with some of the College's most illustrious teachers and alumni: Jacques Barzun, Mark Van Doren (saluted by Fadiman in the essay, "What Makes a Teacher Great?"), Mortimer Adler, and Whittaker Chambers, whom Fadiman encouraged to read The Communist Manifesto.

    1661 ·~upds 06v :l!snw 1un woN ~u-e r .A.rnw Vll3d0 3H.L .LV .LNVA3'l liV~SO Oscar Levant is known for his songs in the area of popular music, but his operas are virtually unknown. Obtaining and studying any one of his three operas should be important for establishing him as more than a popular-music composer. Levant's opera Carnival, from the 20th Century Fox movie Charlie Chan at the Opera, is especially worthy of consideration. Through careful analysis of this work, much can be learned about the style and interests of Oscar Levant. While comparisons to other composers and their works may be too extensive for this specific paper, some comparisons to Levant's own popular tunes of the same time period as Carnival may reveal remarkable similarities and/or differences. Along with an analysis of the score, observation of the opera as it is presented in the movie will provide information about the basis for its content and reveal its incorporation into the movie's plot. In addition, seeing the movie will give aural information, such as the types of instruments used. The interest in this topic stems from Oscar Levant's own books­ A Smattering of Ignorance, The Unimportance of Being Oscar, and The Memoirs of an Amnesiac. He refers to this opera in A Smattering of Ignorance. but his references to his musical acquaintances in The Memoirs of an Amnesiac may supply additional facts to help in understanding his musical style. Examining c 'arnival will contribute to showing the significance of Oscar Levant's style of composition.
