What he wrote is definitely full of the colorful and emotional life he had intimately experienced and recorded as a student of human nature and ordinary existence. Mark Twain experienced fame and honor still being alive; he had a reputation for wit and oratory. Now and then the idea was hovering among the masses that he was the one who showed the country its real self.
Even though he is most famous for his two novels “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” Mark Twain is undoubtedly a master of short fiction. He had the talent to put all the wisdom of the world in such a way that it fitted a couple of pages yet being immensely efficient and forceful.

I find that the short story ‘The Five Boons Of Life’ is quite sad and depressing. The theme seems to be about how whatever you may do in life will not bring you happiness and you will eventualy end up dying. This may be because Mark Twain lost two of his children before he wrote and may have felt that life didnt matter anymore.

If you read closely you will note that in “the five boons of life” each gift or boons turns out to be the opposite of what it actually is so if love brings you grief then death will bring life.
