I had already read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer before, and Huckleberry Finn was one of the characters in that book. Because of that, I became curious about him and wanted to read Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as well.
After I started reading, I realized that I really enjoyed the humorous style of the book. The language and the dialogues made the story more interesting and enjoyable for me.
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1884 and is considered one of the major works of American Realism. Unlike Romantic literature, Twain focuses on ordinary people, realistic language, and social problems. Through Huck’s journey, the novel reflects important issues of 19th-century American society such as racism, slavery, violence, religious hypocrisy, and social inequality. Twain also satirizes romantic adventure stories, especially through the character of Tom Sawyer.
The novel follows Huck Finn, a young boy who escapes from his abusive father and travels along the Mississippi River with Jim, an escaped enslaved man. During their journey, they meet many different people and experience both humorous and serious situations. Through these adventures, Huck begins to question society’s values, racism, religion, and morality.
Huck also starts to test the religious teachings of Miss Watson and Widow Douglas. He does not fully accept everything that society and religion teach him, and throughout the novel he tries to understand what is morally right by himself.
Mark Twain mainly criticizes romanticism and unrealistic adventure stories. Tom tries to behave like the characters in books, while Huck thinks more realistically and questions these ideas. Through this contrast, Twain makes fun of romantic ideals that are disconnected from real life. Whether everything we learn

Sadeq Hedayat is one of my favorite author in the literary world. The Blind Owl that introduced me to Sadeq Hedayat many years ago and it has entered my list of the best. Hedayat's masterpiece The Blind Owl attracted me with the very first lines, and caused me to experience a kind of hysteria with the last page of the book.
Coming to the content of the book; the hero is a heavily depressed man who earn his income with the paintings. He takes alcohol and opium continuously to make himself numb and stop thinking. One day as he walks to the kitchen to deliver wine to his uncle, he sees the elderly man and the stunningly beautiful girl through a hole in his wall, which causes his lonely existence to change. After this sight, he begins to think her all day hysterically. One night, he finds her waiting at the door of his home. After this strange encounter, he searches for anything to offer her then goes to get a bottle of wine for her. When he brings the wine, he thinks that the girl is asleep, and drops a sip in her mouth. He did, however, realize that she had passed away.He wants to ignore the cold of death with the warmth of his body, but later on realizes that it's not working. Then, he henhe decides to bury the girl by dismembering her and packing her pieces into a suitcase since he thinks she has given up on life and given her soul to him. The old man he saw with the girl, the carriage driver who came to pick her up, his uncle who came to visit, and even himself in some parts of the book, are actually all the same person transformed according to his descriptions. All the characters transform into each other and repeat themselves like eternal recurrence, creating a metaphoric effect. Always different faces, but same suffering.

Postmodernism has become an important part of our life and culture in many ways. Although it is a very common word in today's world, it cannot be expressed as a complete definition. Postmodernism is known for its rebellious approach and willingness to test boundaries. It is an indisputable fact that the word ‘master narrative’ which is so popular among people has collapsed. According to Jean François Lyotard , the postmodern concept is the total expression of a process that includes both changes in material conditions and breaks in the intellectual field. First of all, it is a deep disbelief, or in other words, a radical suspicion.
It is a skepticism of modernity and is concerned with the basic notions of an entire modern project. Lyotard traces and makes sense of this suspicion. In other words, ıt is determined that a dozen concepts related to modernism,called great narrative, such as progress, enlightenment, rationality, freedom, universality are not believable. We can call the new lifestyle that started with this state of doubt postmodernism. Therefore, it is not possible to believe in a single truth, a mere mind, a universal life position and it is impossible to believe that history and progress is a single and universal aspect and to theoretically base it. Undoubtedly, literature is one of the most critical area influenced by postmodernism. One of the most important figures to be categorized as both absurdist and postmodern is Samuel Beckett. A list of postmodern authors often varies; the following are some names of authors often so classified, most of them belonging to the generation born in the interwar period: William Burroughs (1914-1997) Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007), John Barth (b. 1930), Donald Barthelme (1931-1989), E. L. Doctorow (b.
"İnsan olmak için bize hep fazladan lüzumsuz bir şey gerektiğini anlıyor musun?’’
Tüketim toplumunun bir ferdi olarak doğmuş olan bizler için her zaman ihtiyacımız olan bir şeyler var. Oysa tarih boyunca insanlar bizim ihtiyaç duyduklarımızın hiçbirine sahip olmadan yüzyıllarca yaşayabildi. Bu durumda kendimizi şanslı mı saymalıyız yoksa tıpkı nesneler ürettiğimiz gibi ihtiyaçlar da üretir hale geldiğimiz için kendimizi bu döngüye hapsederek daha vahim bir duruma mı düşüyoruz?
Artık tüketim,nesne, ihtiyaç, haz vb kavramların anlamlarının çok daha ötesine geçtiklerini kabul etmemiz gerekiyor. Tüketim yalnızca bir ürünü satın almak değil bireyin yaşadığını hissetmesini sağlayan bir araç. Acıktığımızda bir öğünlük yiyecek tüketmek yeterli değil bir sonraki öğün, ondan sonraki hatta haftalarca yetecek yiyeceğimiz hazır olmalı, böylece kendimizi daha güvende ve rahat hissedebiliriz. Avcı ve toplayıcı toplumlarda bireyler sabah kalkıp o günlük yiyecek bulmak ve karnını doyurmakla yetiniyordu, ertesi gün için biriktirmek yoktu. Acaba onlar bizden daha tedirgin ve aç kalma korkusu içinde miydiler? Adım başı markete rastladığımız yerlerde yaşayıp, internetten kolaylıkla alışveriş yapabilirken mutfaklarımızın birer depo haline gelmiş olması, çöplerimizin bile yiyeceklerle dolması kendimizi rahat hissetmemizin bir sonucu mu?
Toplumda hemen her kesimin istediğini tüketebilir hale gelmesi nesnelerin de daha az toplumsal belirteç olmasına neden oluyor. Artık bir araba ya da son model bir telefona sahip olmak zenginlik göstergesi değil neredeyse "sıradan" olduğunuzun göstergesi. Toplumsal hiyerarşi çok daha ince ölçütlere geçiyor.
