college in 2010.

8.In the satirical essay titled "Advice to Youth" what, exactly, is the advice
which Twain offers to the younger generation?
Mark Twain is most well known for his humorist approach to his literature, usually
utilizing Horatian satire. The use of such light satire allows for Twain to approach
realism differently than most conventional speakers would when instructed to
deliver a speech to the youth of America.
In his "Advice to Youth," Mark Twain is poking fun at the solemnity and high
moral seriousness of traditional graduation day speechesAs someone with an acute
awareness of the way that language can be distorted for the purposes of selfinterest, Twain uses his essay to expose the hypocrisy that often lurks behind highflown rhetoric.
Twain evidently wants young graduates to share his suspicion towards the
bromides and platitudes that those in positions of authority so often hand down to
young peopleAlthough the way in which Twain goes about achieving this objective
-through sarcasm, hyperbole, and tongue-in-cheek humor may be light-hearted,
there's a serious message behind all the badinage. Throughout his long life, Twain
has learned a thing or two about authority figures and would dearly love for the
younger generation to receive the benefit of his wisdom.
In preparing his readers for the rigors of adult life, Twain believes that it is
essential to give them some cold, unvarnished truth about what the real world is
really like. To this end, he gives the impression that lying is an important skill to
have if one is to get ahead in life. Once again, one can see an important lesson-how
to deal with life and all its many challenges delivered with wry humor, pretty much
an epitome of Twain's entire approach in "Advice to Youth."
