《My favourite writers in the world》
There are two foreign writers I like most:Jack London and Mark Twain.
London is sad,Twain is happy.
In london's novel LOVE LIFE,he showed us an interesting but sad story.One poor miner,hurt badly,wangted to went back to the society,from the peopleless whild . he must went through forest and great ice land.On the way he had nothing to eat,nothing to wear nobody to talk.The gold was too heavy that he threw it away little by little and finally he had no gold with him and awared that gold was useless,could compare with only a little bread.
An old wolf, very very old that couldn't catch anything to eat,found this poor people.Then the wolf tried its best to eat him.But ,the miner's desire to living was stronger.After a slow fighting he killed the wolf and eat it.
Maybe all Jack London's novel tells sad stories,like "Sea wolf""Mrtin Eden",show poor people fight with others ,the nature ,the people.
这些都是自己写的 马克吐温的也这样自己整一整吧。随便说一说十分钟就过去了。

欧亨利的

O. Henry stories are famous for their surprise endings, to the point that such an ending is often referred to as an "O. Henry ending." He was called the American answer to Guy de Maupassant. Both authors wrote twist endings, but O. Henry stories were much more playful and optimistic.[citation needed] His stories are also well known for witty narration.

Most of O. Henry's stories are set in his own time, the early years of the 20th century. Many take place in New York City, and deal for the most part with ordinary people: clerks, policemen, waitresses.

Fundamentally a product of his time, O. Henry's work provides one of the best English examples of catching the entire flavor of an age. Whether roaming the cattle-lands of Texas, exploring the art of the "gentle grafter," or investigating the tensions of class and wealth in turn-of-the-century New York, O. Henry had an inimitable hand for isolating some element of society and describing it with an incredible economy and grace of language.

Some of his best and least-known work resides in the collection Cabbages and Kings, a series of stories which each explore some individual aspect of life in a paralytically sleepy Central American town while each advancing some aspect of the larger plot and relating back one to another in a complex structure which slowly explicates its own background even as it painstakingly erects a town which is one of the most detailed literary creations of the period.

The Four Million is another collection of stories. It opens with a reference to Ward McAllister's "assertion that there were only 'Four Hundred' people in New York City who were really worth noticing. But a wiser man has arisen—the census taker—and his larger estimate of human interest has been preferred in marking out the field of these little stories of the 'Four Million.'" To O. Henry, everyone in New York counted. He had an obvious affection for the city, which he called "Bagdad-on-the-Subway,"[1] and many of his stories are set there—but others are set in small towns and in other cities.
