Running for governor is a very famous novel written by Mark Twain, a famous American writer. The story is probably famous, too The protagonist "I" in the novel, that is, "running for the governor of new york" as Mark Twain said, had a better reputation than his two opponents, but he found that his nonexistent "evil deeds" were repeatedly published in newspapers and vilified in a short time. He was angry and helpless, but the slander in the newspaper continued and he kept receiving anonymous threatening letters. Many people who don't know the truth don't know what slander they saw, and they angrily broke into his house to destroy and plunder property. Things are getting worse and worse, out of control. The innocent and poor hero was accused of burning the madhouse, poisoning his uncle and persecuting his relatives one after another. At a public meeting, he was held in his arms by nine children with different skin colors and poor looks. "I don't know who" instigated him to call him "dad"! Suffering from being outnumbered, poor Mark Twain finally gave up running for governor.
I almost fainted after reading this funny novel in one breath. Alas, the innocent Mark Twain has really been tossed like this! If I were him, I would jump into the river without hesitation! ..... slowly, I can't laugh anymore. Yeah, I didn't know running for governor would happen again. It's really enough for him.
How serious and fair the political event of running for governor should be, but in Mark Twain's pen, it has become so dark and funny that people can't laugh or cry. Is this the essence of fierce competition among politicians? Newspapers that always seem to give fair, objective and true comments are bought by scheming opponents and maliciously slander innocent new candidates. What a pity that its reputation has been damaged like this! Undoubtedly, Mark Twain, who has always had a good reputation, poses a great threat to the two competitors. In order to defeat this opponent, the jealous and competitive opponent bribed people all over the world and kept slandering the protagonist until he was completely defeated. No matter how good a person is, he will always be jealous and destroyed by people who can't tolerate others. In such a fierce internal competition, the protagonist who had nothing to do was finally defeated by two experienced politicians, because he could no longer bear the hatred of partisan struggle. The competition in the election campaign has actually become like this.
At the end of the novel, I saw the author's helpless and indignant words:
"I gave up the campaign, I put it down, candidly admit defeat. I don't meet the requirements for the governor election in new york, so I made a statement to withdraw from the election. ……
Mark said he was not qualified to run for governor. What does this mean?
Did he not and the other two candidates did? Does it mean that they attack and fight crazily by any means in politics? Did these scheming opponents do this to the hero?
How can this despicable … at least negative factor be a condition for running for governor? This sounds ridiculous. Sadly, only such people will win the final election in reality. Without this calculation, it is doomed to be defeated in the first round.
Ignorant people always believe newspapers. In this way, in their minds, the ranking of candidates is that the two relatively prestigious ones are in the front and the infamous heroes are at the end. Destroyed the original reputation and achieved the goal. Then let the two old guys compete slowly. Whoever has more brains will win.
The saddest thing is that the future governor will be one of the despicable people and the people know nothing about it. Would new york be better if they gave the whole state of New York to such a person?
At the end of the novel, the protagonist signed the name with regret: "Your loyal friend, Mark Twain, used to be a decent man, but now he has become a perjury, thief, corpse thief, alcoholic madman, swindler and blackmail expert." "Loyalty" is probably a commitment to new york and the United States, but it must be understandable.
However, the reputation of the two opponents at the beginning of the novel is not good. But they may not have done so many bad things! I think they were also slandered and maliciously slandered by other politicians in the last election or when! Conversely, if I hadn't been framed by others before, I wouldn't be so clever and evil to frame others now. If this cycle goes on, everyone will frame the next batch of people round by round, so will the whole world be destroyed in the end?
