greatest writers of all time I believe is Mark Twain. Mark Twain uses precise diction to focus on slavery and mistreatment.

Analysis of Lies in Huckleberry Finn "That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain‚ and he told the truth‚ mainly. There was things which he stretched‚ but mainly he told the truth" (1).
