Realism is the portrayal of the reality of everyday life and period of literature between 1850–1900.
Realist fictions speculate myths, assumptions, social norms, sentimentality, collective wisdom, and
prejudices. Realism stories are usually about the middle–class people, and it aims to show a truthful
portrayal of truth. Regionalism is a class of realist literature distinguished by closeness to the habits,
language, dialects, manners, history, traditions, beliefs of a particular geographical region.
Regionalism manifests the characters of both realism and romanticism. Romanticism is cultural the
period from 1830–1860 in America. Humankind is naturally good. The characteristics of
romanticism are passion and emotion, nature over the man, spiritual, intuition, and insight. "A White
Heron," by Sarah Orne Jewett, is an example of local color because of its realism. Jewett uses
characteristics of regionalism like dialogue to show the contrast between the locals and outsiders,
habits, their daily activities, the dress, features of a place. "Editha" by William is the story of realism
which has many characteristics of realism like details about war; he uses dialect to hold out the trend
of the story, using middle–class peoples character. Dean Howell uses a part of romantic style but all

Examples Of Regionalism In Huckleberry Finn
Mark Twain is a world renowned Regionalist author whose work gives vivid descriptions of the
area. Mark Twain incorporated characteristics of regionalism by using the dialect of the time, and
place of Huckleberry Finn through the dialogues of the characters. His writing also shows the social
classes of the time. Lastly, his writing is filled with imagery, giving you a description of the
environment.
A great aspect of Twain's writing is the dialect of his characters. The dialect used in Huckleberry
Finn are things such as the "N" word, or words such as "y'all" or "ain't". So accordingly, they say
things such as: "Well, den, dey ain't no sense in a cat talkin' like a man."(Huckleberry Finn Pg. 79)
Surprisingly, dialect like this is still used around the Mississippi River, but less extreme. I know this
because I have relatives in that area, and it is quite surprising hearing them use the "N" word, and it
is socially acceptable, and furthermore it is hard to understand what they are saying because they

Regionalism In American Literature
A resurgence of regionalism in American literature occurred in the mid twentieth century. Around
this time, the United States was just coming out of the Great Depression and entering World War
Two. The "Return to Regionalism" movement was inspired by the original regionalism authors, such
as Mark Twain, from the mid to late nineteenth century. The return to regionalism movement was
characterized by the focus on certain regions of the United States of America. The Great Depression
affected millions of Americans. In 1933 almost half of the 25,000 United States banks had failed,
and by 1932 "unemployment had risen to between 12 and 15 million workers, or 25–30 percent of
the work force." ("About the Great Depression" 1) Because of the amount of human suffering, the
Great Depression significantly impacted the literature of the time. Writers were engrossed with the
way people seemed to stay hopeful and strong while they were faced with innumerable challenges.
It "encouraged a revival of regionalism in literature. Some writers saw the values of ordinary people
in the United States as a source of strength in hard times." (857) Moreover, The person most
credited with helping America get out of the Great Depression is Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the
32nd president of the United States. He served as the president for four terms, from 1933 to 1945.

Essay on Regionalism and Its Effect on the Canadian State
Since the beginning of Canadian history, regionalism has had a prominent effect on the country`s
political system. The concept of regionalism can be defined as a political ideology grounded on a
shared sense of place or attachment and is discussed in terms of Canadian society, culture, economy
and politics.1 From the days of confederation, Canada has developed into regional cleavages and
identities based on various geographical characteristics, traditional lifestyles and economic interests.
Two of Canada`s greatest regionally distinct political cultures are known as Western alienation and
Quebec nationalism.2 Historically, the lack of regional awareness and accommodation within

Today, Ontario and Quebec have maintained their 24 member senatorial status. The four Western
provinces have 6 members each. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick both have 10 seats. Prince
Edward Island was given 4 out of the original 24 Maritime senators. Together, Newfoundland and
Labrador have a total of 6 members. Finally, Nunavut, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories
stand in the equation with 1 senator apiece. Along with the Senate`s original intentions, the principle
of equality between the provinces is evidently lost. The Senate primarily fails because it was
formerly created to balance out the representation by population which lies in the House of
Commons however currently only seems to reinforce it. In fact, Canada's central provinces, Ontario
and Quebec, account for 60 percent of the seats in the House of Commons and almost half of the

Canada West Foundation clearly states: "Canada is the only democratic federal system in the world
in which the regions with the largest populations dominate both houses of the national legislature."6

The Role Of Regionalism In The Grapes Of Wrath
Realism and Regionalism: The Fine Wine Amongst a Vicious Vineyard In John Steinbeck's tragic,
mangled novel, The Grapes of Wrath, the reader is shipped off into the heart of the great Dust Bowl
in the American Midwest in the peak of American hardship. Through his use of realism in the era of
the modern age, Steinbeck reveals the hardships that were faced by common American citizens
during the Great Depression, and utilizes the Joad family in an effort to depict the lives of the
farmers who had to flee to new land in the high hopes of a new and better life. The obstacles the
family faces are similar to what countless other families had to face, with very little of the
population able to successful thrive at the time. By utilizing the empowering endeavors unforeseen
by these poor families and the meteorological catastrophes overlooking the Midwest, Steinbeck
illustrates the nationwide panic faced by many Americans in an effort to delineate their confusion
and uncertainty. The novel connotes the Dust Bowl for what it is: a horrific struggle of survival.
Steinbeck's composition of this literary masterpiece gained the respect of many Americans who
were previously unaware of the families who faced unbearable hardships during this time and were
left with nothing. (Richard Henry) Steinbeck also uses intercalary chapters to provide the reader
with information and insight on the Dust Bowl and other situations that were faced outside of the

Regionalism in Canada
Regionalism is a political ideology based on a collective sense of place or attachment, and is
discussed in terms of Canadian society, culture, economy and politics (Westfall, 3). Canada is
known internationally as a nation incorporating several multiregional interests and identities into its
unification of culture. Its diverse population is comprised of numerous ethnicities, religions, sexual
orientations and traditions; and all resides under one federal government. Ever since the founding of
Canada, it has developed into regional cleavages and identities, based on various geographical
topologies, lifestyles and economic interests (Westfall, 6). It is these characteristics which make it

The central provinces of Canada, Ontario and Quebec, are represented by 60% of the seats in the
House of Commons and just under half the seats in the Senate. It is quite clear that the insufficiency
of regional representation is such a controversial matter. An unelected Senate that no longer fulfils
its mandate, and a House of Commons strongly influenced by provinces in ratio to their population,
the validity of Parliament has become a great political concern and is a primary contributor to
Canada's existing regional tensions (Stilborn, 8).
The design of the electoral system is another great contributor to the rise of regional conflicts.
Elections in Canada are based on a system known as the "first–past–the–post system" (Stilborn, 26).
This system was created where constituents of all ridings are able to elect a single candidate as their
representation within regards of their political party. In its essence, the candidate with the largest
percentage of the vote in his or her respective riding receives the seat in the House of Commons.
This system leads to a debate as to whether or not the outcomes of elections are truly representing
party preference on the national scale. This debate is primarily based on the fact that candidates are
able to win an election in a constituency, regardless if they received the majority vote or not. Also,

Examples Of Regionalism In A Rose For Emily
Brooklyn Schumm "A Rose For Emily" Author/Story Analysis 4–27–2017 P. 4
"A Rose For Emily" was written by William Faulkner. Faulkner was an author who practiced
Regionalism in a lot of his works. "A Rose For Emily" was no exception. It recalls moments from
the life of a woman known as Miss Emily. Even though the story starts off with, "When Miss Emily
Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral...", you still get a good understanding of who
Miss Emily was and how she acted throughout the rest of the story. William Faulkner was someone
who commonly wrote using Regionalism. Regionalism is what it is called to write about a specific
region or place, with emphasis on characters or themes. In "A Rose For Emily", the setting is a small
town and the main character is Emily. One of the ways that Faulkner uses Regionalism in this short
story, is by talking about taxes. One of the fundamental issues near the beginning of the story, is that
Miss Emily doesn't want to pay her taxes. Talking about land and taxes connects the reader to a
certain place or region. She wasn't supposed to be paying them, so the reader can connect to Emily

in order to become successful, they must previously know a person who is already in America. This
person then must introduce the new immigrant to a boss, who will give the new immigrant a job and
a place to live. The immigrant will be living in a segregated neighborhood with other immigrants
from the same home country. However, the immigrant will be paid very cheaply due to a surplus in

Summary Of Literary Regionalism By Sarah Orne Jewett
Sarah Orne Jewett was a female author in the late 19th century, who can be immediately set apart
from other writers of her time by the quality and content of her work, as well as the fact of her
success as a female writer during a time when writing books was considered a man's profession.
Jewett always had a penchant for observation and contemplation, and utilized these abilities, along
with valuable writing advice given to her by her father, to develop her unique writing style. Without
delving into deeper analysis, there are two distinctive themes that are easily recognizable in the vast
majority of Jewett's anthology of works.
Jewett was born and grew up in South Berwick, a small rural town in southern Maine. Many, if not

Miss Dobin and Miss Lucinda Dobin from "The Dulham Ladies" are excellent examples of this. The
main story describes two women who are arrogant and stuck–up in their inability to realize that they
are not nearly as fashionable and current as they would like to think, but despite their obnoxious
ignorance, it's surprisingly hard not to sympathize with the two. They're well–written, complex
individuals that are relatable and likable– realistic female characters in a time when most authors
would have written women as one–dimensional plot devices with no depth of personality. Despite
the fact that Jewett's literary feminism often took a more passive form, she also occasionally used
more conspicuous allegory, such as the disturbance of the lives of the female characters Sylvia, Mrs.
Tilley, and the cow, by the intrusion of the male ornithologist in "A White Heron."
Similarly, Jewett certainly didn't shy away from writing female characters in situations or roles
considered unusual or socially unacceptable for women at the time. Sylvia from "A White Heron",
who Jewett based greatly off of her childhood self, is exactly the type of tomboyish, pocket knife–
wielding and tree–hugging young girl you don't often see in writing from this period. These
deviations from that era's common literary practices went so far as to describe women

Introduction If Southern writers deny their inner beings, the South can be only an exporter of raw

cease to export them. In the creative sense it will be numb and sterile. During the 1920s and 1930s,
regionalism played an important part in American art. Throughout the English speaking world, the
minority culture of the province was reflecting and criticizing on the dominant culture in society.
The Ireland created by W.B. Yeats and Dylan Thomas' Wales were examples of regionalism in the
British Empire. In America, regionalism arose in New England, the Midwest and the South.

The aunt is clearly worried about chores left behind in Nebraska. However, if this story exemplified
traits of Romanticism, she would not have worried at all about leaving instructions for the calf and
would have simply believed that everything would work itself out back at home. Aunt Georgiana
would have been a carefree, go with the flow character, rather than a diligent, determined character
in A Wagner Matinee. The main character, Aunt Georgiana, in A Wagner Matinee, is a woman living

and not much change or excitement influences her. When at the concert hall, Clark states, "She sat

Regionalism and it's Effect on a Unified Canadian Identity
The concept of regionalism has been used to show the social, economic, and political
differences that exist between the regions of Canada since the days of confederation.
Historically, Canada has developed in different manners depending on the location, leaving a
region much different from another. One of the major reasons for this can be seen through the
geography of this country. The natural land forms which are present in Western Canada, such as
the prairies, are much different from say the coastal proximity, for example, of Atlantic Canada.

Most specifically the difference would have to be the cultural
difference of language. Since the beginning of this country Quebec has fought for the
preservation of the French language and culture and thus the protection of such makes for a
different perception of Canadian identity. Every other region in Canada feels that the government
policies unequally allow Central Canada's economy, primarily Ontario's, to dominate. As the
saying goes everyone in Canada hates Ontario and everyone in Ontario hates Toronto. The
different class levels make other regions apathetic about the progress most specifically, financial
progress in Central Canada.
When analyzing the West region of Canada two groups emerge one being the Prairies of
Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan and the other being the mountainous area of British
Columbia.
The economy of the prairies includes manufacturing such as food machinery, transportation
equipment, metal products and clothing, food and chemical products, as well as the countries
largest agricultural industry including livestock and grains. Most recently the province of

Plantation Traditions : Aspects Of Regionalism In...
Essay #1
The Plantation Tradition is used when people are looking back to the times when plantations still
existed and they are thinking nostalgically about them. There is a stereotype that many of these
people are happy with the way that their lives were, and this was romanticized in these Plantation
Tradition novels. Whenever you hear about slavery, or read books about slavery all you hear about is
the awful sides of the plantation owners abusing their slaves. In some cases these slaves enjoyed
their plantation owners. These stories mostly include white and African American slaves living with
their white plantation owners, and their families. There are many instances where slaves have a tight
bonds inside of these stories with the plantation owners families. There are also intertwined families
from plantation owners sleeping with their female slaves. The stories also include the white people
that are very gentleman like or southern belle like. Plantation Tradition is often used with
regionalism.
Regionalism uses many aspects of describing the characters and how they speak to give you an
example of where they're from. The use of Southern dialect is a very big part of regionalism. The
use of this Southern dialect also gives you a feel for how the people talk and makes the novels feel
more descriptive. It is interesting that some of these Plantation Tradition novels use regionalism in

Why Has Regionalism Developed In Canada
Regionalism as a whole is the concept that distinct geographic areas foster a unique and relatively
autonomous identity outside of the national framework in politics; essentially individuals ferment
regional identities through the relationships and communities that develop because of a shared
locality and economic situation. In particular, Canada has developed regionalism ever since its
constitution was drafted and consequently it has been a dominant force in the political
landscape/activity and dialogue of the country. In turn, scholars have discussed the actors behind
regionalism in Canada and there are three dominant explanations and mediums as to why: federal
institutions, federal policies, and the staples theory. In this essay, I will ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
Historian Harold Innis developed the staples theory which postulated that Canada's economic
development was reliant on the succession of resource exports rather than manufacturing.
Furthermore, this doctrine illustrated notions of dependence in Canada combined with interregional
exploitation between inner and outer Canada. The staples theory asserted that a relationship between
a "metropolis" and "hinterland" existed in Canada and reflected the power dynamics of Canadian
economic and political society. The metropolis has the manufacturing sector and does well if it is
competitive to other metropolises and subsequently then has manufacturing jobs. On the other hand,
the hinterland is a rural and resource rich area that does exceedingly well economically if it has the
relevant resource and consequently grows in political strength. Toronto–Ottawa–Montreal triangle
obviously constitutes the metropolises of Canada with the largest concentration of corporate head
offices in the Toronto area combined with a substantial manufacturing nucleus in the Greater
Toronto Region. Nonetheless, if looking specifically at certain regions such as Alberta using the
core–periphery analysis or staples theory, one would likely deem Calgary and to a lesser extent
Edmonton as the core/metropolis of the region with areas like Fort McMurray and Leduc being the
periphery/hinterland.

Writing in the late 19th century, both Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce were part of the Realism
literary period, which lasted from 1865 to 1900. Their writings, especially those of Twain, helped to
chart the course of American literature. Despite being in the Realism period, their stories are also
part of other eras. Writing mainly toward the beginning of the era and coming from a small Midwest
village, Twain was greatly influenced by Regionalism. Bierce, on the other hand, drew much of his
ideas from the period that followed Realism: Naturalism. While Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce

Bierce, however, has a Naturalist inclination. According to him, "humans live in a vast and
completely indifferent universe which we cannot fully grasp or perceive" (Williams). This very
concept is the essence of Naturalism, which features many of the varying details that are common in
Bierce's writings. One such detail is a use of grotesque but matter of fact details, which is prevalent
in "Chickamauga," which includes a man that has "a face that lacked a lower jaw––from the upper
teeth to the throat was a great red gap fringed with hanging shreds of flesh and splinters of bone"
(Bierce, Ambrose. "Chickamauga"), as well as "the dead body of a woman––the white face turned
upward, the hands thrown out and clutched full of grass, the clothing deranged, the long dark hair in
tangles and full of clotted blood" (Bierce, Ambrose. "Chickamauga"). Bierce also depicts war, fear,
and death as unstoppable forces that make "worms' meat" be "[t]he finished product of which we are
the raw material" (Bierce, Ambrose. The Devil's Dictionary). This idea of the presence of great
omnipotent powers that are beyond the understanding of humans is one unique to Naturalism, and

What Is Regionalism In The Poem By Seamus Heaney
In late 20th century Ireland there was a thirty–year conflict known as "The Troubles" that came
about due to the systematic discrimination against Catholics. During this violent period, a new poet
named Seamus Heaney addressed this strife in his poetry. Heaney was born on April 13, 1939, in
Castledawson, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland where he lived in his family farmhouse as a
Catholic in a vastly Protestant part of the country (Pool). He discovered the works of Ted Hughes,
Patrick Kavanagh, and Robert Frost while studying English at Queen's University and was inspired
to write works of his own. According to Poetry Foundation in 1995, he won the Nobel Prize for
Literature "for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the
living past." Through his use of imagery and regionalism in the poems "Digging" and "The Singer's
House," Heaney creates nostalgic poems that detail his heritage as an Irish American making his
voice significant because it illustrates candid and accurate aspects of identity and life in Ireland. It is
because of this that many people around the world still read and appreciate his work.
In his nostalgic poem, "Digging," there are many messages Heaney conveys about how he was

Can Critical Regionalism counteract the impact of Globalisation on our cities?
In the era of constant networking and relaying of information, the world has become a much smaller
place. The shrinking world has somewhat become a familiar spectacle of identical fads and
lifestyles. At least in the developed countries, globalisation has given birth to homogenous consumer
culture. Demonstrated not only by the expansion of multi–national cooperations such as Apple and
Starbucks but also by the indistinct architecture. It is a common sighting in urban cities today to see
the identical steel, concrete and glass structures. This occurrence might be innate due to the easy
exportation of concepts and architects, however not obligatory. Whilst advancing towards a modern
society, architects have adapted this "universal style" of architecture that fails to represent the unique
topography of different cities. Architects have the choice to either "repeat the same building
everywhere or to push ourselves forward, to create an encounter between ourselves and the local
culture" (Koolhaas, 2012). If the notion of Critical Regionalism were to be practiced by architects
through the integration of the local culture with modern techniques, it could potentially return the
missing identities of these cities.

Transnational families are families that are separated across the globe, with one member in the U.S.
and the other back in Mexico, for example. Like I said earlier, some members of the family move to
the U.S to provide money for their families back home in the hopes that either they can return or that
they would be able to bring their family to the U.S. Once a few of the relatives have established
themselves in the U.S, they can help their aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and even neighbors
move also. Entire extended families are moved to the US in what is known as chain migration.
Having these familial ties to the country of origin definitely affects how people define "home" and
their sense of identity. A person who is able to bring to his whole family to the U.S and thus have no
more familial ties to Mexico, is more likely to see America as his home now than someone who still

architecture which attempts to oppose placelessness or the lack of identity in today's modern
architecture (Linda, 2012). Kenneth Frampton states that: "Critical regionalism is not regionalism in
the sense of vernacular architecture, but is, on the contrary, an avant–gardist, modernist approach,
but one that starts from the premises of local or regional architecture."
Through the writings of Critical Regionalism, written by Frampton, the loss of regional culture,
overpowered by global development is explored. Frampton has derived a new system for a new type
of architecture that synthesizes identity, past, history, culture and the values of a region, which he
calls architecture of resistance because it serves as an element of prosperity for the region itself ...

Date
Realism
In the century America, there were changes in the society and politics resulting from the expansion
to the westward as well as the civil wars. Artists in America turned to reality and regionalism as a
way to bring their concerns during that time. Their concerns included the widening gap in social
classes where there were class struggles among those of the working class as well as the middle
class who were brought down socially. These artists wrote down these transfo0rmations brought out
in the nation by creating removed, impartial status of everyday life. In a bid to bring readers to be
fascinated by their stories and to depict their character and the reader's setting to life, Mark Twain in
the adventures of Huckleberry Finn and the awakening by Kate Chopin used regionalism and in the
same way, Henry James showed the reality of life in his story Daisy Miller.
Mark Twain together with Kate Chopin were experts in crea6ting a regionalism–based
America.Regionalism,not forgetting refers to words that concentrate wholly on specific features

Grant Wood Essay
Grant Wood
I recently took a trip to the Jocelyn Art Museum. There they had many great painting in the
permanent art collection. One that caught my eye, which I had seen many times before, but never

1930. This painting is oil on wood panel and is
30 ¼ X 40 inches.
Grant Wood is a famous philosopher who was born in February in the year 1891 in Anamosa, Iowa.
Wood was born to Quaker parents on a small farm. This experience would be the basis of his iconic
images of small–town plain folk and verdant Midwestern vistas. He later moved to Cedar Rapids

What they shared, among themselves and among other American Scene painters, was a humble,
antimodernist style and a fondness for depicting everyday life. However, their rural conservatism
put them at odds with the urban and leftist Social Realists of the same era.
The three best–known regionalists were Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry, and Grant Wood.
With Thomas Hart Benton and John Steuart Curry, who died prematurely in 1946, Wood represented
the painters of "The American Scene" also known as the school of Regional American Landscape.
These artists represented rural life in the U.S in the tradition of European masters.
They enjoyed success in 1930 during the Great Depression when the public found some intellectual
and moral comfort during troubled times. Wood was trying to induce the birth of a true American
national art. He even wrote a manifesto, "Revolt against the City" in 1935 calling for a renaissance
of American art which he found too dependent on European art, especially French art notably in the
field of abstract painting. He wanted to regroup regional schools in order to develop a new form of
realistic painting.
Success came late for Wood who spent his life in his native Iowa where he found his inspiration and
subjects. At the start of his career he was influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and then
painted in a manner that could be compared to those of John Sloan, Edward Hopper, Edouard

Regionalism And Realism In A Wagner Matinee By Willa Cather
Why would an author write a detailed work of a character stuck confronting a moral dilemma, rather
than that of an imaginary–like story? Industrialization had many cons, but started the evolution
towards the Realistic Era in literature. Realism influenced many authors' styles of writing in the
span of the era, because of the honesty it generated. To name a Realist author: Willa Cather, who
wrote "A Wagner Matinee" focused on a different type of Realism, Regionalism. The literature of
the Realistic Era emphasized the world's problems at the time through the characters' thoughts and
feelings.
The Industrial Revolution started towards the end of the 18th century and brought Realism with it.
As the Library of Congress indicates, the Industrial Revolution began in Britain, but moved to the
United States, and with it brought new transportation, manufacturing, and communications. Less
self–sufficient family homes came to be as factories began popping up around the country... this
meant the expansion of resources and trade for the U.S. Problems like child labor, minuscule wages,
dangerous working conditions, and atrocious living conditions were created leading to the
Progressive Era(N.D.). As observed by the University of Georgia (2015), the problems caused by
the Industrial Revolution would be addressed by reforms. States tried to eliminate too much child
labor by applying laws on schooling hours for children. Also, they created new Boards of Health in

Mexican Immigration Regionalism
No one chooses to cross the border unless there are absolutely no other options. Many Mexicans
choose to either downplay the event or not talk about it at all. The act of crossing the border is laden
with powerful symbolism – to Americans, it represents a larger willingness of Mexicans to violate
the law. However, if people knew the true story, of the risks, and what it takes to cross the border,
then they would have a different perspective. For most people, when you cross the border, you have
to pay thousands of dollars to the "coyote," people who specialize in human trafficking and
importing immigrants across the U.S.–Mexican border. If you are traveling with a child, there is a

Transnational families are families that are separated across the globe, with one member in the U.S.
and the other back in Mexico, for example. Like I said earlier, some members of the family move to
the U.S to provide money for their families back home in the hopes that either they can return or that
they would be able to bring their family to the U.S. Once a few of the relatives have established
themselves in the U.S, they can help their aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and even neighbors
move also. Entire extended families are moved to the US in what is known as chain migration.
Having these familial ties to the country of origin definitely affects how people define "home" and
their sense of identity. A person who is able to bring to his whole family to the U.S and thus have no
more familial ties to Mexico, is more likely to see America as his home now than someone who still
has family back home in Mexico. That person is then able to see himself as an American although he

Regionalism In Literature: Mark Twain And Sarah Orne Jewett
Regionalism in Literature Authors of narrative stories often use regionalism to enhance their writing.
These stories were intensely popular for their local color such as dialect, geography, and customs.
During the 1800's, Mark Twain and Sarah Orne Jewett were well known for using regional details in
pieces such as Life on the Mississippi, The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, and A
White Heron. American authors use regional details to make the events and themes of a narrative
come to life. One of the many regional details that authors use is the character's dialect. Certain
types of language or the way it is used is specific to a location and time period. An example of this is
in the quote "... his under–jaw'd begin to stick out like the fo' castle of a steamboat, and his teeth

peaceful lapping of the wavelets against them; the great Mississippi, the majestic, the magnificent
Mississippi, rolling its mile–wide tide a long, shining in the sun; the dense forest away on the other
side..." (Twain, "the Life..." 411). The details of the river makes the reader appreciate and admire
this landmark. Many people don't live in the same kind of environments and others. Some are
surrounded by tall trees while others live in dry regions. In "The White Heron", Jewett explains the
tree in great detail, "Half a mile from home, at the farther edge of the woods, where the land was
highest, a great pine–tree stood, the last of its generation." (Jewett, "White Heron" 438). The image

"A Rose For Emily" was written by William Faulkner. Faulkner was an author who practiced
Regionalism in a lot of his works. "A Rose For Emily" was no exception. It recalls moments from
the life of a woman known as Miss Emily. Even though the story starts off with, "When Miss Emily
Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral...", you still get a good understanding of who
Miss Emily was and how she acted throughout the rest of the story. William Faulkner was someone
who commonly wrote using Regionalism. Regionalism is what it is called to write about a specific
region or place, with emphasis on characters or themes. In "A Rose For Emily", the setting is a small
town and the main character is Emily. One of the ways that Faulkner uses Regionalism in this short
story, is by talking about taxes. One of the fundamental issues near the beginning of the story, is that
Miss Emily doesn't want to pay her taxes. Talking about land and taxes connects the reader to a

Twain use of dialect includes both writing how words sound when spoken, and the way sentences

see you! Dear, dear, it does seem like I could eat you up! Children, it's your cousin Tom!–tell him

Local-Color Regionalism in Tennessees Partner Essay
The literary movement of local–color regionalism in American literature is a very distinctive and
interesting form of fiction writing that effectively combines regional characteristics, dialect, customs
and humor. In Bret Harte's Tennessee's Partner, these characteristics helped the story jump off the
page, allowing the reader to understand the "times" rather than just the characters. And, for that
reason, I feel that this is an outstanding piece of work.
One of the most distinguishable characteristics of local–color regionalism writing is the usage of
authentic dialect based on the story's setting. In Tennessee's Partner, Harte uses this tactic best when
quoting the title character. For example, when Tennessee's Partner suddenly appears ... Show more

– I call."
LYNCH: "Two bowers and an ace."
TENNESSEE: "That takes me."
Another local–color characteristic that Harte used in Tennessee's Partner was the development of
characters based on their setting. The reader never feels like he knows much at all about any of the
characters – even Tennessee and his partner – at all. In fact, neither does the narrator. But through
the use of description, the two main characters become more stereotypes of miners in the Gold Rush
era; they were typical rugged, gambling, scorched–skinned, strong, simple womanizing men.
This much is true with no one more than the title character, as his actions reveal more about the
time's 'concept' of death during his friend's execution and burial rather than going too deep into his
own personal feelings about this particular death. Tennessee's Partner quickly compares his friend's
burial to all the other drunken trips his shouldered with Tennessee in the past and seemingly moves
on from the finality of the situation with ease.
Lastly, Harte uses the setting as a major element of the story, almost turning the vast land of
Tennessee's Partner into a character itself. The settings in most local–color stories usually have an
emphasis on nature and the land is usually remote and out–of–the–way, and the setting of this story
is no different.

inherent to the structure of a decentralized government, but rather inherent to the political climate

focuses their efforts both in policy making and campaigning in a specific region within a state.
Brancati begins her analysis by posing the question, what impact does a decentralized government
have on ethnic conflict and secessionism? The conventional knowledge on the topic is that political
decentralization is believed to "reduce ethnic conflict and secessionism in the world today...by

local materials and style also becomes an important factor in keeping the uniqueness of the local

reinterpretation of the local culture in the creation of the new design. The critical regionalist will
attempt to create a place oriented culture without completely mimicking the traditional styles with
the usage of the local materials and possibly local techniques. With this, the building ends up fitting

Regionalism In Canada National Identity
When looking at the role of regionalism in forming Canada's national identity, it plays an important
role in the formation of Canada's architectural and written history. For example, from coast to coast,
the architecture of each region varies widely from each other, which exhibits how each landscape
has shaped the way that region was formed (Thorsteinson, 2016). Additionally, regionalism is seen
as a strategy used to define being Canadian, and in the words of Northrop Frye, "the question of
Canadian identity... is not a 'Canadian' question at all, but a regional question" (Thorsteinson, 2016).
Another role of regional identity in the formation of Canada is the symbolism of the Canadian flag,
which presents a leaf from a maple tree as the national symbol of Canada (Dirks, 2017). Also,
companies such as roots uses parts of Canadas landscape to present their products, such as beavers
and landmarks like the Hudson's Bay. However, Canada is also seen as having an identity crisis, and
the differences encompassed within each region in Canada makes it difficult to be wholly inclusive
when it comes to presenting Canada's national identity (Dirks, Class 10, 2017). And yet, there seems
to be several solid statements when it comes to portraying Canada's identity through regionalism,
such as Canada's symbiotic relationship with nature as a whole. Subsequently, regionalism has

Characteristics Of Regionalism Essay 1 American Literature 2328 Fall 2017 Professor Roy Ruane Tham Paija October 2, 2017 Realism is the portrayal of the reality of everyday life and period of literature between 1850–1900. Realist fictions speculate myths, assumptions, social norms, sentimentality, collective wisdom, and prejudices. Realism stories are usually about the middle–class people, and it aims to show a truthful portrayal of truth. Regionalism is a class of realist literature distinguished by closeness to the habits, language, dialects, manners, history, traditions, beliefs of a particular geographical region. Regionalism manifests the characters of both realism and romanticism. Romanticism is cultural the period from 1830–1860 in America. Humankind is naturally good. The characteristics of romanticism are passion and emotion, nature over the man, spiritual, intuition, and insight. "A White Heron," by Sarah Orne Jewett, is an example of local color because of its realism. Jewett uses characteristics of regionalism like dialogue to show the contrast between the locals and outsiders, habits, their daily activities, the dress, features of a place. "Editha" by William is the story of realism which has many characteristics of realism like details about war; he uses dialect to hold out the trend of the story, using middle–class peoples character.

Mark Twain incorporated characteristics of regionalism by using the dialect of the time, and place of Huckleberry Finn through the dialogues of the characters. His writing also shows the social classes of the time. Lastly, his writing is filled with imagery, giving you a description of the environment. A great aspect of Twain's writing is the dialect of his characters. The dialect used in Huckleberry Finn are things such as the "N" word, or words such as "y'all" or "ain't". So accordingly, they say things such as: "Well, den, dey ain't no sense in a cat talkin' like a man."(Huckleberry Finn Pg. 79) Surprisingly, dialect like this is still used around the Mississippi River, but less extreme. I know this because I have relatives in that area, and it is quite surprising hearing them use the "N" word, and it is socially acceptable, and furthermore it is hard to understand what they are saying because they use words like "ain't" or "y'all".

(voices.yahoo.com) In the beginning of the book, Huck treated slaves just like everybody else, but then Jim came along and Huck ended up helping him which was against what was socially acceptable.

  • 9. Regionalism In American Literature A resurgence of regionalism in American literature occurred in the mid twentieth century. Around this time, the United States was just coming out of the Great Depression and entering World War Two. The "Return to Regionalism" movement was inspired by the original regionalism authors, such as Mark Twain, from the mid to late nineteenth century. The return to regionalism movement was characterized by the focus on certain regions of the United States of America. The Great Depression affected millions of Americans. In 1933 almost half of the 25,000 United States banks had failed, and by 1932 "unemployment had risen to between 12 and 15 million workers, or 25–30 percent of the work force." ("About the Great Depression" 1) Because of the amount of human suffering, the Great Depression significantly impacted the literature of the time. Writers were engrossed with the way people seemed to stay hopeful and strong while they were faced with innumerable challenges. It "encouraged a revival of regionalism in literature. Some writers saw the values of ordinary people in the United States as a source of strength in hard times." (857) Moreover, The person most credited with helping America get out of the Great Depression is Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States. He served as the president for four terms, from 1933 to 1945. ("Franklin D.

  • 13. Essay on Regionalism and Its Effect on the Canadian State Since the beginning of Canadian history, regionalism has had a prominent effect on the country`s political system. The concept of regionalism can be defined as a political ideology grounded on a shared sense of place or attachment and is discussed in terms of Canadian society, culture, economy and politics.1 From the days of confederation, Canada has developed into regional cleavages and identities based on various geographical characteristics, traditional lifestyles and economic interests. Two of Canada`s greatest regionally distinct political cultures are known as Western alienation and Quebec nationalism.2 Historically, the lack of regional awareness and accommodation within Canada's central government has given rise to a great deal ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Today, Ontario and Quebec have maintained their 24 member senatorial status. The four Western provinces have 6 members each. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick both have 10 seats. Prince Edward Island was given 4 out of the original 24 Maritime senators. Together, Newfoundland and Labrador have a total of 6 members. Finally, Nunavut, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories stand in the equation with 1 senator apiece. Along with the Senate`s original intentions, the principle of equality between the provinces is evidently lost. The Senate primarily fails because it was formerly created to balance out the representation by population which lies in the House of Commons however currently only seems to reinforce it. In fact, Canada's central provinces, Ontario and Quebec, account for 60 percent of the seats in the House of Commons and almost half of the seats in the Senate at 46 percent.5 The inadequacy of regional representation is emphasized as the Canada West Foundation clearly states: "Canada is the only democratic federal system in the world in which the regions with the largest populations dominate both houses of the national legislature."6 With an unelected Senate that no longer fulfills its role of equal regional representation and a House of Commons grounded on the representation of provinces proportional to their population, the legitimacy of Parliament has become a ...

The Role Of Regionalism In The Grapes Of Wrath Realism and Regionalism: The Fine Wine Amongst a Vicious Vineyard In John Steinbeck's tragic, mangled novel, The Grapes of Wrath, the reader is shipped off into the heart of the great Dust Bowl in the American Midwest in the peak of American hardship. Through his use of realism in the era of the modern age, Steinbeck reveals the hardships that were faced by common American citizens during the Great Depression, and utilizes the Joad family in an effort to depict the lives of the farmers who had to flee to new land in the high hopes of a new and better life. The obstacles the family faces are similar to what countless other families had to face, with very little of the population able to successful thrive at the time. By utilizing the empowering endeavors unforeseen by these poor families and the meteorological catastrophes overlooking the Midwest, Steinbeck illustrates the nationwide panic faced by many Americans in an effort to delineate their confusion and uncertainty. The novel connotes the Dust Bowl for what it is: a horrific struggle of survival. Steinbeck's composition of this literary masterpiece gained the respect of many Americans who were previously unaware of the families who faced unbearable hardships during this time and were left with nothing. (Richard Henry) Steinbeck also uses intercalary chapters to provide the reader with information and insight on the Dust Bowl and other situations that were faced outside of the general fiction that ...

Regionalism in Canada Regionalism is a political ideology based on a collective sense of place or attachment, and is discussed in terms of Canadian society, culture, economy and politics (Westfall, 3). Canada is known internationally as a nation incorporating several multiregional interests and identities into its unification of culture. Its diverse population is comprised of numerous ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations and traditions; and all resides under one federal government. Ever since the founding of Canada, it has developed into regional cleavages and identities, based on various geographical topologies, lifestyles and economic interests (Westfall, 6).

The central provinces of Canada, Ontario and Quebec, are represented by 60% of the seats in the House of Commons and just under half the seats in the Senate. It is quite clear that the insufficiency of regional representation is such a controversial matter. An unelected Senate that no longer fulfils its mandate, and a House of Commons strongly influenced by provinces in ratio to their population, the validity of Parliament has become a great political concern and is a primary contributor to Canada's existing regional tensions (Stilborn, 8). The design of the electoral system is another great contributor to the rise of regional conflicts. Elections in Canada are based on a system known as the "first–past–the–post system" (Stilborn, 26). This system was created where constituents of all ridings are able to elect a single candidate as their representation within regards of their political party. In its essence, the candidate with the largest percentage of the vote in his or her respective riding receives the seat in the House of Commons. This system leads to a debate as to whether or not the outcomes of elections are truly representing party preference on the national scale. This debate is primarily based on the fact that candidates are able to win an election in a constituency, regardless if they received the majority vote or not. Also, the number of ...

Faulkner was an author who practiced Regionalism in a lot of his works. "A Rose For Emily" was no exception. It recalls moments from the life of a woman known as Miss Emily. Even though the story starts off with, "When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral...", you still get a good understanding of who Miss Emily was and how she acted throughout the rest of the story. William Faulkner was someone who commonly wrote using Regionalism. Regionalism is what it is called to write about a specific region or place, with emphasis on characters or themes. In "A Rose For Emily", the setting is a small town and the main character is Emily. One of the ways that Faulkner uses Regionalism in this short story, is by talking about taxes. One of the fundamental issues near the beginning of the story, is that Miss Emily doesn't want to pay her taxes. Talking about land and taxes connects the reader to a certain place or region. She wasn't supposed to be paying them, so the reader can connect to Emily at this time by comparing similar ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Although this can be unclear and confusing, most readers can piece together what is happening when if you just look between the lines. One example of a flashback is when the author starts talking about how sick Emily was. He starts off a paragraph with, "She was sick for a long time", after he had already said that she was dead. An example of foreshadowing would be when the author stated, "And that was the last we saw of Homer Barron. And Miss Emily for some time." We later find out that Emily had killed Homer, and that is why he was gone and why she was gone for a long time.

The immigrant will be living in a segregated neighborhood with other immigrants from the same home country. However, the immigrant will be paid very cheaply due to a surplus in workers.

Summary Of Literary Regionalism By Sarah Orne Jewett Sarah Orne Jewett was a female author in the late 19th century, who can be immediately set apart from other writers of her time by the quality and content of her work, as well as the fact of her success as a female writer during a time when writing books was considered a man's profession. Jewett always had a penchant for observation and contemplation, and utilized these abilities, along with valuable writing advice given to her by her father, to develop her unique writing style. Without delving into deeper analysis, there are two distinctive themes that are easily recognizable in the vast majority of Jewett's anthology of works. Jewett was born and grew up in South Berwick, a small rural town in southern Maine. Many, if not most of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Miss Dobin and Miss Lucinda Dobin from "The Dulham Ladies" are excellent examples of this. The main story describes two women who are arrogant and stuck–up in their inability to realize that they are not nearly as fashionable and current as they would like to think, but despite their obnoxious ignorance, it's surprisingly hard not to sympathize with the two. They're well–written, complex individuals that are relatable and likable– realistic female characters in a time when most authors would have written women as one–dimensional plot devices with no depth of personality. Despite the fact that Jewett's literary feminism often took a more passive form, she also occasionally used more conspicuous allegory, such as the disturbance of the lives of the female characters Sylvia, Mrs. Tilley, and the cow, by the intrusion of the male ornithologist in "A White Heron." Similarly, Jewett certainly didn't shy away from writing female characters in situations or roles considered unusual or socially unacceptable for women at the time. Sylvia from "A White Heron", who Jewett based greatly off of her childhood self, is exactly the type of tomboyish, pocket knife– wielding and tree–hugging young girl you don't often see in writing from this period. These deviations from that era's common literary practices went so far as to describe women ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Introduction If Southern writers deny their inner beings, the South can be only an exporter of raw materials, perhaps an exporter of man power, and a consumer of imported cultural products. It will cease to export them. In the creative sense it will be numb and sterile. During the 1920s and 1930s, regionalism played an important part in American art. Throughout the English speaking world, the minority culture of the province was reflecting and criticizing on the dominant culture in society. The Ireland created by W.B. Yeats and Dylan Thomas' Wales were examples of regionalism in the British Empire. In America, regionalism arose in New England, the Midwest and the South. Southern regionalism started with what was called the Southern Renaissance. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Highly educated and informed, Cather demonstrated realism techniques and language throughout the short story. Most of her writing, published at the end of the realist era, was not well accepted. A Wagner Matinee strongly contradicts literary techniques and devices of Romanticism while emphasizing regionalism, a form of realism. In comparing and contrasting literary techniques and style of the Romantic and realism eras, A Wagner Matinee, by Willa Cather, would use less emphasize on specific geographical settings, the idea of achieving the American dream through hard work and difficulty, and exploit the main characters into larger than life ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The aunt is clearly worried about chores left behind in Nebraska. However, if this story exemplified traits of Romanticism, she would not have worried at all about leaving instructions for the calf and would have simply believed that everything would work itself out back at home. Aunt Georgiana would have been a carefree, go with the flow character, rather than a diligent, determined character in A Wagner Matinee. The main character, Aunt Georgiana, in A Wagner Matinee, is a woman living and struggling in a very ordinary lower class life. She follows common routine each day of her life and not much change or excitement influences her. When at the concert hall, Clark states, "She sat looking about her eyes as impersonal, almost stony, as those with which the granite Ramses in a museum watches the froth and fret that ebbs and flows about his pedestal" (Cather, 517).

Regionalism and it's Effect on a Unified Canadian Identity The concept of regionalism has been used to show the social, economic, and political differences that exist between the regions of Canada since the days of confederation. Historically, Canada has developed in different manners depending on the location, leaving a region much different from another. One of the major reasons for this can be seen through the geography of this country. The natural land forms which are present in Western Canada, such as the prairies, are much different from say the coastal proximity, for example, of Atlantic Canada. The climate in relation to the different geographical characteristics of Canada attributes to the different life styles in these regions, ultimately changing their identities. This causes ...

Essay #1 The Plantation Tradition is used when people are looking back to the times when plantations still existed and they are thinking nostalgically about them. There is a stereotype that many of these people are happy with the way that their lives were, and this was romanticized in these Plantation Tradition novels. Whenever you hear about slavery, or read books about slavery all you hear about is the awful sides of the plantation owners abusing their slaves. In some cases these slaves enjoyed their plantation owners. These stories mostly include white and African American slaves living with their white plantation owners, and their families. There are many instances where slaves have a tight bonds inside of these stories with the plantation owners families. There are also intertwined families from plantation owners sleeping with their female slaves. The stories also include the white people that are very gentleman like or southern belle like. Plantation Tradition is often used with regionalism. Regionalism uses many aspects of describing the characters and how they speak to give you an example of where they're from. The use of Southern dialect is a very big part of regionalism. The use of this Southern dialect also gives you a feel for how the people talk and makes the novels feel more descriptive. It is interesting that some of these Plantation Tradition novels use regionalism in this way to give you a feel for the characters. Many people find that they are more engaged ...

Why Has Regionalism Developed In Canada Regionalism as a whole is the concept that distinct geographic areas foster a unique and relatively autonomous identity outside of the national framework in politics; essentially individuals ferment regional identities through the relationships and communities that develop because of a shared locality and economic situation. In particular, Canada has developed regionalism ever since its constitution was drafted and consequently it has been a dominant force in the political landscape/activity and dialogue of the country. In turn, scholars have discussed the actors behind regionalism in Canada and there are three dominant explanations and mediums as to why: federal institutions, federal policies, and the staples theory. In this essay, I will ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Historian Harold Innis developed the staples theory which postulated that Canada's economic development was reliant on the succession of resource exports rather than manufacturing. Furthermore, this doctrine illustrated notions of dependence in Canada combined with interregional exploitation between inner and outer Canada. The staples theory asserted that a relationship between a "metropolis" and "hinterland" existed in Canada and reflected the power dynamics of Canadian economic and political society. The metropolis has the manufacturing sector and does well if it is competitive to other metropolises and subsequently then has manufacturing jobs. On the other hand, the hinterland is a rural and resource rich area that does exceedingly well economically if it has the relevant resource and consequently grows in political strength. Toronto–Ottawa–Montreal triangle obviously constitutes the metropolises of Canada with the largest concentration of corporate head offices in the Toronto area combined with a substantial manufacturing nucleus in the Greater Toronto Region. Nonetheless, if looking specifically at certain regions such as Alberta using the core–periphery analysis or staples theory, one would likely deem Calgary and to a lesser extent Edmonton as the core/metropolis of the region with areas like Fort McMurray and Leduc being the periphery/hinterland. ...

Their writings, especially those of Twain, helped to chart the course of American literature. Despite being in the Realism period, their stories are also part of other eras. Writing mainly toward the beginning of the era and coming from a small Midwest village, Twain was greatly influenced by Regionalism. Bierce, on the other hand, drew much of his ideas from the period that followed Realism: Naturalism. While Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce both primarily wrote Realism, Twain's writings have a bent for Regionalism, while Bierce's short stories lean towards Naturalism. Samuel Clemens, better known as ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Bierce, however, has a Naturalist inclination. According to him, "humans live in a vast and completely indifferent universe which we cannot fully grasp or perceive" (Williams). This very concept is the essence of Naturalism, which features many of the varying details that are common in Bierce's writings. One such detail is a use of grotesque but matter of fact details, which is prevalent in "Chickamauga," which includes a man that has "a face that lacked a lower jaw––from the upper teeth to the throat was a great red gap fringed with hanging shreds of flesh and splinters of bone" (Bierce, Ambrose. "Chickamauga"), as well as "the dead body of a woman––the white face turned upward, the hands thrown out and clutched full of grass, the clothing deranged, the long dark hair in tangles and full of clotted blood" (Bierce, Ambrose. "Chickamauga"). Bierce also depicts war, fear, and death as unstoppable forces that make "worms' meat" be "[t]he finished product of which we are the raw material" (Bierce, Ambrose. The Devil's Dictionary).

What Is Regionalism In The Poem By Seamus Heaney In late 20th century Ireland there was a thirty–year conflict known as "The Troubles" that came about due to the systematic discrimination against Catholics. During this violent period, a new poet named Seamus Heaney addressed this strife in his poetry. Heaney was born on April 13, 1939, in Castledawson, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland where he lived in his family farmhouse as a Catholic in a vastly Protestant part of the country (Pool). He discovered the works of Ted Hughes, Patrick Kavanagh, and Robert Frost while studying English at Queen's University and was inspired to write works of his own. According to Poetry Foundation in 1995, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature "for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past." Through his use of imagery and regionalism in the poems "Digging" and "The Singer's House," Heaney creates nostalgic poems that detail his heritage as an Irish American making his voice significant because it illustrates candid and accurate aspects of identity and life in Ireland. It is because of this that many people around the world still read and appreciate his work. In his nostalgic poem, "Digging," there are many messages Heaney conveys about how he was exposed to a different environment than his forefathers and how he did not choose to continue his family's agricultural heritage.

In the era of constant networking and relaying of information, the world has become a much smaller place. The shrinking world has somewhat become a familiar spectacle of identical fads and lifestyles. At least in the developed countries, globalisation has given birth to homogenous consumer culture. Demonstrated not only by the expansion of multi–national cooperations such as Apple and Starbucks but also by the indistinct architecture. It is a common sighting in urban cities today to see the identical steel, concrete and glass structures. This occurrence might be innate due to the easy exportation of concepts and architects, however not obligatory. Whilst advancing towards a modern society, architects have adapted this "universal style" of architecture that fails to represent the unique topography of different cities. Architects have the choice to either "repeat the same building everywhere or to push ourselves forward, to create an encounter between ourselves and the local culture" (Koolhaas, 2012). If the notion of Critical Regionalism were to be practiced by architects through the integration of the local culture with modern techniques, it could potentially return the missing identities of these cities.

  • 82. Critical Modernism: Critical Regionalism 1. INTRODUCTION The term Critical Regionalism was first used by architectural theorists such as Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre, and has been given a slightly different meaning by the historian and theorist, Kenneth Frampton. Critical Regionalism can be briefly defined and understood as an approach to architecture which attempts to oppose placelessness or the lack of identity in today's modern architecture (Linda, 2012). Kenneth Frampton states that: "Critical regionalism is not regionalism in the sense of vernacular architecture, but is, on the contrary, an avant–gardist, modernist approach, but one that starts from the premises of local or regional architecture." Through the writings of Critical Regionalism, written by Frampton, the loss of regional culture, overpowered by global development is explored. Frampton has derived a new system for a new type of architecture that synthesizes identity, past, history, culture and the values of a region, which he calls architecture of resistance because it serves as an element of prosperity for the region itself ...

The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn And The Awakening Name Instructor Corse Date Realism In the century America, there were changes in the society and politics resulting from the expansion to the westward as well as the civil wars. Artists in America turned to reality and regionalism as a way to bring their concerns during that time. Their concerns included the widening gap in social classes where there were class struggles among those of the working class as well as the middle class who were brought down socially. These artists wrote down these transfo0rmations brought out in the nation by creating removed, impartial status of everyday life. In a bid to bring readers to be fascinated by their stories and to depict their character and the reader's setting to life, Mark Twain in the adventures of Huckleberry Finn and the awakening by Kate Chopin used regionalism and in the same way, Henry James showed the reality of life in his story Daisy Miller.

What they shared, among themselves and among other American Scene painters, was a humble, antimodernist style and a fondness for depicting everyday life. However, their rural conservatism put them at odds with the urban and leftist Social Realists of the same era. The three best–known regionalists were Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry, and Grant Wood. With Thomas Hart Benton and John Steuart Curry, who died prematurely in 1946, Wood represented the painters of "The American Scene" also known as the school of Regional American Landscape. These artists represented rural life in the U.S in the tradition of European masters. They enjoyed success in 1930 during the Great Depression when the public found some intellectual and moral comfort during troubled times. Wood was trying to induce the birth of a true American national art. He even wrote a manifesto, "Revolt against the City" in 1935 calling for a renaissance of American art which he found too dependent on European art, especially French art notably in the field of abstract painting. He wanted to regroup regional schools in order to develop a new form of realistic painting. Success came late for Wood who spent his life in his native Iowa where he found his inspiration and subjects. At the start of his career he was influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and then painted in a manner that could be compared to those of John Sloan, Edward Hopper, Edouard Vuillard or ...

Regionalism And Realism In A Wagner Matinee By Willa Cather Why would an author write a detailed work of a character stuck confronting a moral dilemma, rather than that of an imaginary–like story?

Certain types of language or the way it is used is specific to a location and time period.

Some are surrounded by tall trees while others live in dry regions.

In "A Rose For Emily", the setting is a small town and the main character is Emily. One of the ways that Faulkner uses Regionalism in this short story, is by talking about taxes.

In Bret Harte's Tennessee's Partner, these characteristics helped the story jump off the page, allowing the reader to understand the "times" rather than just the characters. And, for that reason, I feel that this is an outstanding piece of work. One of the most distinguishable characteristics of local–color regionalism writing is the usage of authentic dialect based on the story's setting. In Tennessee's Partner, Harte uses this tactic best when quoting the title character. For example, when Tennessee's Partner suddenly appears ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... – I call." LYNCH: "Two bowers and an ace." TENNESSEE: "That takes me." Another local–color characteristic that Harte used in Tennessee's Partner was the development of characters based on their setting. The reader never feels like he knows much at all about any of the characters – even Tennessee and his partner – at all. In fact, neither does the narrator. But through the use of description, the two main characters become more stereotypes of miners in the Gold Rush era; they were typical rugged, gambling, scorched–skinned, strong, simple womanizing men. This much is true with no one more than the title character, as his actions reveal more about the time's 'concept' of death during his friend's execution and burial rather than going too deep into his own personal feelings about this particular death. Tennessee's Partner quickly compares his friend's burial to all the other drunken trips his shouldered with Tennessee in the past and seemingly moves on from the finality of the situation with ease. Lastly, Harte uses the setting as a major element of the story, almost turning the vast land of Tennessee's Partner into a character itself. The settings in most local–color stories usually have an emphasis on nature and the land is usually remote and out–of–the–way, and the setting of this story is no different.

Dawn Brancati Decentralization Dawn Brancati furthered the literature around the decentralization of governments in her work, "Decentralization: Fueling the Fire or Dampening the Flames of Ethnic Conflict and Secessionism?." She introduces a point that had not been explored before in academia, by showing a causal relationship between regional parties and ethnic conflict/secessionism. She displays in her work that political decentralization indirectly leads to ethnic conflict and secessionism. This is not inherent to the structure of a decentralized government, but rather inherent to the political climate that decentralization creates. This is because politically decentralized governments foster regional political parties. She shows through a statistical analysis of 30 countries, that it is the power of regional parties that ultimately increases or decreases ethnic conflict and desires for secession. Her publication focuses on governments that are ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Her analysis of decentralization focuses on ethnic conflict and secessionism. Ethnic conflict is violence between ethnic groups and secessionism is the movement of people towards an independent state. The main focus of her paper is on regional parties within politically decentralized governments. Regional parties differentiate from a national political party in that a regional party focuses their efforts both in policy making and campaigning in a specific region within a state. Brancati begins her analysis by posing the question, what impact does a decentralized government have on ethnic conflict and secessionism? The conventional knowledge on the topic is that political decentralization is believed to "reduce ethnic conflict and secessionism in the world today...by bringing the government closer to the people, increasing opportunities to participate in government, and giving groups control over their political, social, and economic affairs." She believes in this statement to the extent that ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

People often have specific tendencies that can be attributed to their individual community. For example, the pronunciation of words and their vocabulary can change when entering different states. Bostonians tend to drop their r's and New Yorkers usually accentuate every letter, and the South is famous for their charming drawl. This is a type of Regionalism; although, not everyone participates in these commonalities within their state, there are many other forms of Regionalism that take place in life and in Zora Neale Hurston's, Their Eyes Were Watching God. In this novel, Regionalism plays a prime role in the dialect used by the characters, how a woman is treated by her husband, and how African Americans must be thought of as inferior because of popular opinion. ...

For example, on page three Pheoby Watson said, "Me, Ah'm her best friend, and Ah don't know" (3). Then again at the end of the novel Janie said, "Now, Pheoby, don't feel too mean wid de rest of 'em 'cause dey's parched up from not knowin' things" (226). For the duration of this novel, the characters used this type of language. This form of speech has been inculcated by previous generations and will continue this way until all dialects are dispelled. This aspect of Regionalism is obvious because it is common–knowledge that African Americans who live in the south speak differently from ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Realism, Regionalism And Naturalism In Literature Realism, Regionalism, and Naturalism in Literature Realism, Naturalism, and Regionalism are just a few examples of the many styles of writing that exist. Each style of writing deals with a specific time period. Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat", Henry James's "Daisy Miller", and Mary E Wilkins Freeman's "The Revolt of Mother" are just a few examples of the literary works that represent these time periods. These literary works are perfect examples of the specific time periods each writing style was popular among certain authors. These stories allow readers to compare the modern times that we live in currently to the period these authors were in. They also allow the reader to branch out and be different. Mary E. Wilkins Freeman is one of the many authors that represent the realism movement. Realism is a style of writing started in the mid nineteenth century and lasted until the early twentieth century. Realism was a response to romanticism. One of Freeman's most popular story is "The Revolt of Mother", which is a story that represents farm life during the nineteenth century. The main character in this story is Mrs. Penn, who is a dedicated, and loving mother and wife. Even though she is a dedicated woman, her husband does not appreciate her or gives her the respect she feels she is needed. Her husband did the hard work, while she was in the house washing dishes and cleaning like many wives during this period. Her husband keeps on promising that he will build her a house, ...

As time progresses, the modern day society and cultures are slowly integrating into "a world that is increasingly becoming one global economically and technologically interdependent whole, where universal mobility is taking architects and architecture across borders and through continents at an unprecedented speed." (Tzonis and Lefaivre, 484) The universalizing of culture is in some ways an advancement for humanity, however global integration is threatening to subtly disintegrate the stylistic innovation in architecture as the universal styles and cultures takes over. In order to address the threat of globalization in architecture, it is a imperative to focus on the use of critical regionalism throughout the world. By the integration of ...

By paying attention to the lighting conditions of the site, the window, a crucial element in architectural expression removes itself from the repetitiveness of the universal styles. These add into the factors of climatic control, bringing up the needlessness of artificial climates which need to be maintained within the buildings, rather than the interior climate maintaining itself. The usage of local materials and style also becomes an important factor in keeping the uniqueness of the local cultures. This does not imply to copy the vernacular style of the area but rather insert a reinterpretation of the local culture in the creation of the new design. The critical regionalist will attempt to create a place oriented culture without completely mimicking the traditional styles with the usage of the local materials and possibly local techniques. With this, the building ends up fitting with the buildings of the local area. The universal style of architecture does not maintain this important factor but rather deviates nearly completely from the local styles and materials. An example of this would be the city of Dubai. With the importation steel and glass, the structures tend to have little to no relation to the location nor the original culture design styles. Rather than following the ideal designs that would fit with the extreme heat of the desert, the architects designed what are essentially green houses in the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

These are all the questions one has in mind when opening up the spine of a book. It is not always just the knowledge that one is yearning for, but the adventure, and the people one gets to meet along the way. How an author brings everyone along with them to the destination of their choice is by using techniques in writing like regionalism and local color. Regionalism and local color is setting the reader in a particular place (i.e. England, North American, Australia), the characters met, and the languages they speak. In "Sense of Place: A Response to Regionalism," written by Jonathan Hart, "from the beginning, North America was multinational and multicultural" (Hart 113).

Readers unfamiliar with Louisiana in the nineteenth century can gleam rationalistic information from Chopin's story including racial relations and the local dialect including the inclusion of French phrases. The different races and ethnic background that existed in southern Louisiana, and how the one–drop rule was used, and unsuspecting people's lives were altered due to the new knowledge of having black heritage. The gender and roles they had also lacked the equality of today and thankfully laid a foundation for equal right for all minorities going into the future. The difference that being a woman had versus a man in the nineteenth century southern Louisiana was very unbalanced as was being a black man versus a white man, and a white woman versus a black woman.

Regionalism In Canada National Identity When looking at the role of regionalism in forming Canada's national identity, it plays an important role in the formation of Canada's architectural and written history. For example, from coast to coast, the architecture of each region varies widely from each other, which exhibits how each landscape has shaped the way that region was formed (Thorsteinson, 2016). Additionally, regionalism is seen as a strategy used to define being Canadian, and in the words of Northrop Frye, "the question of Canadian identity... is not a 'Canadian' question at all, but a regional question" (Thorsteinson, 2016). Another role of regional identity in the formation of Canada is the symbolism of the Canadian flag, which presents a leaf from a maple tree as the national symbol of Canada (Dirks, 2017). Also, companies such as roots uses parts of Canadas landscape to present their products, such as beavers and landmarks like the Hudson's Bay. However, Canada is also seen as having an identity crisis, and the differences encompassed within each region in Canada makes it difficult to be wholly inclusive when it comes to presenting Canada's national identity (Dirks, Class 10, 2017). And yet, there seems to be several solid statements when it comes to portraying Canada's identity through regionalism, such as Canada's symbiotic relationship with nature as a whole. Subsequently, regionalism has emphasized Canada's national identity as a landscape and region oriented nation, in comparison to the modern ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This development most likely occurred due to the many technological advances that the 18th century introduced such as the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869. Due to the country's rapid growth and change, it shaped a new type of writing. This new type of writing would be called regionalism. It captured the country's scenery and customs. Regionalism influenced many people especially women to accept and prepare for how a situation might unfold, also known as realism. Although one might perceive the 18th century as a period of prosperity, the majority of Americans were working tirelessly for 16 hours a day.
