Dinner Guest

If I could choose any guest, I’d invite Mark Twain. I love his writing above all others. It seems he’s speaking directly to me. He was so knowledgeable about human nature and put such a fascinating spin on his commentaries. I remember so many of his quotations. My favorite was Huck Finn’s struggle with his conscience about turning Jim, the runaway slave in.

“I’d got to decide, forever betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: ‘Alright, then, I’ll just go to hell’” (Twain 223).
