Mark Twain's view in Imperialism
During class today, David and I researched and talked about the directions of our project. We decided to take an approach that is focusing on Twain's views on imperialism. Twain considered himself as an anti0imperialist. I think that this topic is suitable for us to dive into. I remember we read an essay he wrote, "War Prayer" that expressed his hatred toward imperialism. We found a very useful website with a good amount of collection of sources on or by Twain. This website will help us to do the project a lot more easier. However, we still need to find the right sources sooner or later, so we can start thinking about the outline.
Don't forget 'To the Person Sitting in Darkness.' War Prayer is a poem, and it is anti war, but I don't know if it really specifically gets into his feelings about American Imperialism.
