You may already know Mark Twain as the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Mark Twain was born in 1835 as Samuel Langhorne Clemens. In his autobiographical book, Life on the Mississippi, he wrote, “When I was a boy, there was but one permanent ambition among my comrades in our village on the west bank of the Mississippi River. That was to be a steamboatsman. Other ambitions faded out, each in its turn; but the ambition to be a steamboatsman always remained.” When he was little more than twenty years old, Clemens achieved his boyhood ambition—he became a riverboat pilot. A riverboat pilot steers ships in and out of port, often through dangerous waters. In order to keep the ship from running aground, it’s important for the pilot to remain constantly aware of the depth of the water. In Clemens’s time, the water’s depth was measured by throwing in a line with a lead weight attached—which is why the men who read the line were called “leadsmen.” When a leadsman measured a depth of two fathoms—a fathom is six feet—he would cry out, “Mark twain!” (Twain is an old-fashioned word for “two.”) That cry gave Clemens the pen name by which we know him best. Pilot: a person employed to steer a ship in and out of port, often through dangerous waters; a “cub pilot” is a pilot in training Question: How is being a riverboat pilot like being an airplane pilot?

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
