1st comparison paragraph

Often times, American authors wrote stories with characters and events based on the point in history in which the author lived. Two such authors are Jack Kerouac with The Dharma Bums and Mark Twain with Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Jack Kerouac’s novel uses his own experiences in writing about a contemporary view on the state of America and his philosophy. Mark Twain employed a contrasting style in writing a traditional novel with fictional characters to get his equality message across. The main character in each story paired their beliefs against those of the society at that time. Each method was effective in relaying its method but The Dharma Bums offered a more modern style problem coupled with advice on what to do with it, and is therefore the piece of literature more relevant to history today. The Dharma Bums and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn use effective but different styles of writing to relay a similar message and because of the time period and its call to action, The Dharma Bums is more relevant to today.
